*VIPP plants are Offsets

A large growing terrestrial species that is found from Mexico to Colombia and Ecuador. A giant grower in nature, to over six feet tall, the variety quadricolor has been cultivated as a pot plant for years and is kept much smaller. Still though with a large pot and good fertilization the plants can reach about 4 feet across. The spectacularly variegated form has a broad yellowish white stripe up the center of the leaves. The leaves bear large but well spaced spines on the margins and the leaves are broad and glossy. This variegated form was originally brought into cultivation by Mulford Foster from a Mexican garden, but the exact origins are unknown. Easy to grow in normal bromeliad soil and an 8-inch pot or larger for best results.

A very nice and robust form of nudicaulis with compact growth when cultivated bright and stressed a little. Reddish leaves are stiff and heavily banded with silver.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

Somewhat squat plastic pots, three quarters as tall as wide, with drainage holes. This is the most common style of pot that we use here at Tropiflora and are pretty much the “industry standard” for most production of tropical plants and succulents. 

We only stock in forest green.   We do not carry other colors. 

This is a commercial mix that we at Tropiflora have custom made 50 yards at a time. We use this formula because #1 it works for us and #2 it is economical.

Anyone can mix their own potting media and we encourage you to do so in order to best suit your needs. However, if you wish to use our proven mix, we are more than happy to oblige!

Here is the formulation:

• 30% Canadian Peat
• 30% Green Bark
• 30% Hardwood Chips
• 10% Perlite (though this can vary with availability of materials).

It also includes 3 pounds of minor elements per yard and has a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5.  This mix allows good air access to the root zone, good moisture retention without getting soggy, long pot life, and good substance for holding plants upright.

Note: A one quarter cubic foot bag of soil should fill about half a dozen 6 inch Azalea Pots.

Our virgin cork slabs are flat and vary in size from about 6 inches to over 12 inches wide and 12 to 30 inches long. Thickness varies from about a half inch to two inches with the majority being in between those numbers.

To get an idea of size to weight, you can figure roughly a square foot per pound, rarely under that, usually over. This material is widely touted to be the best and most durable substrate for mounting epiphytic plants; resisting rot and pests and lasting for many years under greenhouse conditions. The upper surface is rough and craggy and the underside, harder and fairly smooth. Great for use in terrariums or cages as it is non-toxic, and useful as a decorative background to display jewelry or other objects.

This product is harvested sustainably in Portugal from Quercus suber, the cork oak, and it’s main use is for bottle stoppers and shoe soles. This is a completely natural product. Easily broken into any size needed and can be ‘drilled’ with an awl or ice pick.

Tropiflora's Air Plant Food Soluble 20-10-20

This is a good quality, versatile formula for epiphytic plants. This fertilizer does not use urea as a nitrogen source, as it is not usable by epiphytic plants. Water soluble, it can be used in daily irrigation or applied at intervals. Will not burn foliage at recommended rates and does not stain foliage. This is the fertilizer we use here at Tropiflora for our bromeliads, orchids and all epiphytic plants.

Guaranteed Analysis: Total Nitrogen (N) 20% 7.90% ammoniacal nitrogen 12.10% nitrate nitrogen Available phosphate (P2O5) 10% Soluble potash (K2O) 20% Magnesium (Mg) 0.10%Boron (B) 0.02%Copper (Cu) 0.025% Iron (Fe) 0.05%Manganese (Mn) 0.025% Molybdenum (Mo) 0.0029% Zinc (Zn) 0.025%

Application Rates: Constant Feed: A rate of 50 to 150 ppm of nitrogen is recommended. For bi-weekly applications: Use at the rate of 1½ to 2 tsp per gallon of water. Monthly: 1 to 1½ to tbs/gal.

Tropiflora Succulent Mix – While we call this our ‘succulent mix’ we use this for many more things around the nursery.  Succulents thrive in it under our rather wet, humid conditions and so do many plants such as terrestrial bromeliads, tuberous Arums, and others. It is a good quality mix that we have custom made for us in 50 yard loads.

The formula is:

• 20% Canadian Peat
• 45% small Fir Bark
• 35% coarse Perlite (Sponge Rock)

It has a pH of 6.0.

We offer cork pieces already broken into useful sizes, especially useful for those who may find it difficult to break pieces up by hand. Thickness varies from about a half inch to an inch and weighs 2 ounces (small) and 6 ounces (medium) each.

Authentic beaded jewelry, handmade by Huichol artisans in Mexico in the 1980's. Each piece is a vibrant link to the rich culture and connection to nature that embodies the Huichol way of life. The intricate bead work depicts many symbols common to the Huichols, such as deer, peyote, flowers, birds, scorpions, snakes and ceremonial arrows.

Huichol beadwork is far more than decoration. Artists use tiny glass beads in two traditional ways: pressed into beeswax to create intricate mosaics, and carefully strung and woven to form belts, necklaces, purses, and other wearable or functional objects. The vivid designs depict sacred symbols drawn from their spiritual world—deer, maize, peyote, the sun, and ancestral stories. Each piece is both a work of art and a visual prayer, reflecting a deep connection to nature, ritual, and cultural memory passed down through generations.
