THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
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.
Aloe 'Dracula's Blood' is a beautiful small succulent that forms a dense rosette of green fleshy, leaves with red bumps on the surface of red and blood red spines along the edges. Prefers to be grown in a well draining potting mix. Prefers bright light.

A cute hybrid of two miniature species (descoingsii x haworthioides). Tiny, barely reaching three inches across, clump forming with triangular leaves coated on all surfaces with small conical spines. The inflorescence is a 12 inch scape with a cluster of pink-orange to orange-red flowers. Very hardy to drought, some cold, and basic neglect. Great for dish gardens and even suited for dry terrariums. It was developed by John Bleck, crossing to species native to Madagascar.
A star shaped rosette with green leaves that has raised irregular bands of white. The leaf edges white teeth. Grow in bright light and water as needed. Average mature size is 4 inches across.
A smaller hybrid that has decorative foliage, large teeth that are not sharp but are more rubbery, tapering, triangular leaves to about 3 inches long and a procumbent habit. The foliage is green, but blushes orange to red in strong light. The inflorescence bears red flowers. A choice plant, easy to grow.
Decorative ceramic Autumn pumpkin planters, perfect for your favorite small tillandsia. This collection includes 4 pumpkins, one of each color as shown, for a set price of $24.99. Each planter measures 3" tall, includes a drain hole.
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.
I was given a copy by the creator of the book and it’s a must have for tropical enthusiasts!

Great plant. the only problem is that in order to get the brom to show red is to put it in direct sun, BUT this is tricky. Too much sun, they burn, too little sun they turn green.

Known as the 'Sea Onion', a bizarre caudiciform from Southern and East Africa which grows bulb-like with a peeling green caudex which can reach about six inches in diameter. The seasonal 'foliage' is actually a filamentous vining inflorescence in the brightest shade of green. This can be trained onto a trellis or left to hang from a basket. Grow in partial shade in a well draining media.

A Brazilian species that is rare in cultivation or collections. It was discovered in Goias Brazil in 1998. This is a terrestrial bromeliad so grow it in soil. Prefers bright filtered light.
An interesting little shrub-like, caudiciform tree from Oaxaca, Mexico with a thickly swollen trunk and tan to reddish peeling bark. The dense branches have small obovate, deciduous leaves and bear tiny, aromatic fruits. Great for bonsai work. The leaves may turn bright colors if exposed to cool temps in the fall of the year.
