Orchid mixes are as varied as the people who grow orchids!  We offer what we at Tropiflora use ourselves for most varieties, a good general mix great for Cattleya, Oncidium, and most epiphytic species.  Note that some find our bromeliad mix useful for terrestrial orchids and even Phalaenopsis.

Our orchid mix is simple:

• 50% high quality medium Fir Bark
• 25% medium Charcoal
• 25% coarse Perlite (Spongerock)

This mix can be augmented with some good quality peat, sphagnum moss, treefern fiber, or other components by the end user to make this mix suitable for other specialty plant culture.  Great also for most epiphytic bromeliads, as well, especially with some added peat or sphagnum moss.

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.

A small and graceful little hybrid by Pinkert, has an upright rosette shape with rather narrow pointed leaves, sometimes marked with splashes of purple. The inflorescence is a rather cylindrical spike of red and white. Great for small spaces and terrariums.

An interesting and rare plant from the exposed granite cliffs at the entrance to Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Resembling the much more familiar Vr. saundersii, it is smaller, about 6 inches across, with deeply recurving, broad, leathery leaves that are heavily speckled with red below and sparingly above. The inflorescence is a panicle of dense yellow branches on a 12 inch scape.

This Brazilian beauty is a splendid foliage plant with wide light green leaves, finely lineated and reticulated with green and spotted with red. The shape is a full, open rosette to over 24 inches with leaves that gracefully curl down toward their tips. Even though it reaches a large size, young plants are great for terrariums.

A Brazilian native with wide, thick, leathery leaves in a 15 inch, recurving rosette. An unusual gray-blue color, speckled with tiny red dots and bearing an interesting, branched, yellow inflorescence produced in winter make this an attractive species. In spite of the gray, thick leaves, it is a shade grower in nature, living on granite rock cliff faces inside the mountainous Tijuca forest of Rio de Janeiro. A slow grower, excellent for terrariums when small.

This Brazilian species, reminiscent of Vriesea sucrei, is a small to medium growing species with narrow, arching, discolor leaves and a tall, narrow, reddish feather inflorescence.

A cultivar of (Deuterocohnia longipetala ‘Silver’ x Pitcairnia burle-marxii) by Ray Lemieux. Narrow, spiny with soft, rubbery spines, deeply channeled, discolor leaves that are green on top and deep purple below. It has a tall scape with peach colored flowers. As far as we know this is the first of this nothogerera to be produced. The name comes from the fact that the spines are soft despite their appearance. Cultivate as a terrestrial bromeliad, bright shade, even moisture.
