*VIPP plants are Offsets

A really nice hybrid of (hammeri x concolor ‘Cuicatlan’) by Bill Timm. What a neat combination, a tall, stiff leaved, upright plant crossed with a stiff leaved open rosette type with a beautiful inflorescence. It worked! This is a jewel with stiff, upright, very narrow foliage, and a showy, branched inflorescence that is upright, taller than the foliage and pink and green to reddish. Interestingly enough, both species occur in the same area of Mexico! 

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.
