Little rosettes form on six inch stolons, spreading out horizontally, eventually forming a large cluster. Depending upon light and fertilizer levels, the plants will be reddish-green to bright red. Less fertilizer and more light brings out maximum color.

This miniature species has never been properly classified but remains an extremely popular plant. Outstanding in hanging baskets, in landscape and in terrariums.

This early Skotak hybrid is a cultivar of ‘Fireball’ x ?. Unreported parentage. A small beauty almost the same size and shape of the ‘Fireball’ parent, with the same stoloniferous habit. A nicely variegated plant with reddish leaves in good light and light white to pinkish variegation.

The variegation is in the form of multiple thin stripes or lineations up the center of each leaf. It is a great plant for hanging baskets, for mounting and for use in terrariums.

A Neo. punctatissima hybrid by Grace Goode. Cute miniature with the ampoule shape of punctatissima but vividly marked with green mottling over red and with distinct bars or banding on the undersides, and red leaf tips.

Offsets form on short stolons and the plants make nicely spaced clumps. Good for a pot, basket or terrarium.

This is an exceptional clone of a popular species. An upright tubular grower with grayish-green leaves, heavily speckled with reddish-purple spots. In the typical form the leaves flare out at the tip but with the ‘Tim Plowman‘ clone they form a curl.

A handsome stoloniferous plant that grows well potted or mounted. In nature this plant can be found as an epiphyte or lithophyte in the Atlantic forests of Eastern Brazil.

Not really imperialis or brasiliana, but a new species that will be called mucugensis.

A medium sized plant to about 20 inches across, with ‘almost’ white leaves. Each leaf bears a broad white stripe up the center with just a narrow margin of green on the leaf edge. The center flush at anthesis is bright red.

Best grown in moderate light to keep the white appearance. Stronger light puts a pink tint in the foliage, which is nice too.

This lovely Brazilian plant with silver banded chocolate-brown leaves, is one of the best of the genus. Resembling a Cryptanthus in general shape, but larger and more arching, it produces a very tall green inflorescence with burr-like floral bracts and small plantlets. Once very rare and costly. 

A nice, rather upright spineless plant with a pink cast to the foliage, bold creamy-white variegation and a deep red center flush at anthesis. Forms an attractive clump with many offsets on short stolons.

A cultivar of ('Domingos Martins' x 'Hellfire') by Don Beadle, named by Michael Kiehl.   It is a very upright grower to about 12 to 14 inches tall with deep burgundy leaves bearing a bright red veneer and suffused all over with cream colored spots.  A handsome plant.
