Sponge rock, also known by the name expanded perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture.

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.

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.
