The Desert Rose of Africa.  One of the most desirable of the caudiciform succulents. Noted for its thick and often contorted base, these plants also have beautiful trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of pink and red.  Keep moist and well fed during the growing season (when plants are in leaf) and allow to dry well between watering when dormant.  Trim longer stems to encourage branching and elevate the caudex when re-potting to expose best characteristics.  Ideal in a decorative container.

Beautiful double red flowers with a white throat.

A variable plant found across the Andean valleys of Peru and Ecuador where the temps are hot in the days and cool at night and the wind is almost always blowing. A cluster forming plant that forms large masses of plants that have brilliantly white, silvery leaves and tall scapes with pink to lavender branches and large, very fragrant flowers. Many local forms exist from long and caulescent, short leaved and long leaved, thick and thin forms. There are smaller varieties and giant forms. This form is a ‘thick leaved’ form with leaves that are quite broad and thicker than some, lending a more robust look to the plant. The inflorescence is very tall, to almost 24 inches with a cluster of branches and many fragrant, two-tone flowers; white and lavender.

NOTE: These are the seedlings grown from the Hans Wiehler clone.

We are not sure of the species of this interesting, epiphytic cactus. It resembles Lepismium cruciflorme and may be a variant of that species. The stems are multi-angled to flat, grayish-green with a red tint in strong light. The areoles have some wooly spines and bear open, pure white flowers. We got this species from the late Dr. Hans Wiehler of the Gesneriad Research Foundation, one that he had collected in Brazil.

Note: This plants is listed on C.I.T.E.S. and may not be exported.

This large growing form comes mainly from Costa Rica. It has a bulbous base, green all over, shaped like an egg, with twisted wiry leaves. Bizarre.

Easy to grow mounted in a bright spot, out of full sun. Enjoys frequent watering and feeding for best results. This giant form may reach 10 to 14 inches tall or more with a base up to 5 inches long and two inches thick.

This is a different clone than our Giant Red Form
