Adenia venenata variegated
6247
A rare variegated form of the species. The caudex is variegated with yellow.
Not to be confused with Adenium, a completely different genus. Actually succulent forms of the Passifloraceae or Passion Flower family, many Adenias form thick stems which endear them to caudiciform plant lovers. However, when young they little resemble the future finished product. Typical young venenata are tall and resemble an upside-down elongated carrot. The leaves are accompanied by thread-like tendrils which vine around any available object. The caudex thickens with age and can reach 6 feet in very old plants and the vine can go on for 30 feet or more, but can be trimmed to keep it manageable. Leaves are stellate and the flowers are tiny, green and dioecious. Native to central and eastern Africa.




Adenium arabicum
1063
Outstanding plants now considered a form of obesum. Thicker and squatter than most other forms, these beauties form an extra thick caudex with multiple fat branches. The flowers are pink with stripes in the throat.
*May not have leaves, in dormancy










Adenium obesum
825
These are seedlings. We can't guarantee the flowers will look like flowers but they have good genetics. Some plants may be starting their dormancy.










Aechmea 'Big Harv'
4594
An Aechmea eurycorymbus hybrid from Bullis Bromeliads. Large growing with stiff green leaves. The inflorescence has clustered branches of yellow with red bracts and is very colorful. The inflorescence is long lasting and this is a good landscape plant.




Aechmea 'Phoenix'
2598
A cultivar of (calyculata x recurvata) is a tough and handsome small grower that keeps a compact shape in varying light conditions. The recurvata parent lends an upright, compact, vase-like shape, and the calyculata parent adds the bright yellow flowering inflorescence. Nice for landscape around boulders.

I know bromeliaceae that I have grown and known way up here in the frozen tundra. Yes, here in East Tennessee USA the land is stretched out horizontally east to west. Formerly from the Atlantic Coast to the great Mississippi River, as Carolina, after Andrew Jackson evicted all the Cherokee Nation.....
Any way I digress.
This is one of my current top ten cold hardy landscaping bromeliads. Originally I got one offset from nurseryman, hybridizer, and all round nice guy Grant Groves maybe 10 years ago.
With out a name tag.
But I know bromeliaceae, and I've been growing them since 1979. This Ae. 'Phoenix' is the same clonotype, or cultivated variety.
Xander Karatas. Somewhere in the Smokies.
The plant arrived in good condition, and I can't wait to see it bloom.
Aechmea amicorum
6801
A spectacular decorative landscape-type species from Brazil. A large upright rosette has wide, fairly rigid green leaves and a very showy inflorescence that is a panicle of reddish-orange branches and bracts and yellow flowers. Long lasting in bloom, it will eventually form bright berry-like fruits. A collector item now, but destined to fame in landscape.

Despite poor USPS delivery, the plant arrived healthy. The offset is large and should do well.
This offset is humongous! May bloom this summer ? Unboxing plants and pups from Tropiflora is better than opening Christmas gifts 'cause you al
ready know you like it and it will fit into the perfect place or just the right pot. Many Thanks for all. Bobbie.
Aechmea nudicaulis 'Wally Berg'
4406
A nice form of nudicaulis that Wally Berg brought back from a Brazil trip some years ago. We do not know the exact type, though it looks a lot like capitata in general shape. A stout, wide leaved, tubular rosette with stiff green to yellowish leaves with a slight red marginal blush, red apiculate tips and prominent black spines.
The plants have the typical ‘thumb print’ of the species and produce offsets of short, stout stolons. A decorative plant for mounting or for a hanging basket.

Agave bracteosa
3121
A cliff dwelling lithophyte native to the Chihuahuan Desert, our plants are from seed collected in Sta. Catarina, Nuevo Leon. Sometimes called the octopus Agave, because of its sinuous and curled, spineless, narrow leaves. An unusual aspect of this species is that it does not immediately die like most Agave species, after flowering. Eventually forms clusters of plants, attractive with their pale green leaves. Suited for full sun to partial shade. Needs good drainage.

Agave schidigera 'Shira ito no Ohi'
7828
A choice miniature from Mexico that grows in a full compact rosette to about 6 inches. The stiff leaves are very thick and succulent terminating in a sharp spine. With age the plant develops white filaments along the leaf margins, which grow fairly long and curl. This form has bold creamy white variegation along the margins. Cold hardy for gardens to freezing and just below. Small enough and slow enough for pot culture.

Air Plant Fertilizer
APF
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.

Alluaudia dumosa
1420
For lovers of weird, a nearly leafless, shrub-like member of the Didiereaceae that can reach nearly 10 feet tall but grows in a rather haphazard clump of tangled branches. The cylindrical stems are kind of olive green with silver tricomes and bears scattered conical spines which are stout but not ‘dangerous’.
Native to southern coastal Madagascar in the regions of the thorn forest from near sea level to almost 1,000 feet. A dioecious species that requires both sexes to set seed, but is easily propagated from cuttings. Reportedly slow growing but we do not find this to be especially true. Best grown in full sun to partial shade, well drained soils and moderate watering. Protect from freezing.
