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.

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. 

Perfect for attaching plants to wood, cork or ceramic! Non-toxic, clear and quick-drying.

Good drainage is key for the health of a potted plant. Mesquite charcoal is free of chemical additives, slow to decompose, helps drainage, provides air circulation for orchids, and grabs onto nutrients and toxins in any mix it is incorporated into.

Useful for many epiphytic plants and essential for Vanda culture. These sturdy, well made baskets are manufactured in Central America from Cedrela odorata, or Tropical Cedar, which has a cedar fragrance and looks like mahogany.

The source of this wood for baskets is mostly as a byproduct of furniture manufacturing, it is long lasting, non toxic to plants and resists rot. The galvanized wires that hold the slats together are of a heavy gauge to last for years.

This is our standard all around fertilizer we use at the nursery for pretty much everything.  The controlled release fertilizer has 5 to 6 months of constant feed at an average temperature of 70° (F).  Of course in warmer conditions the time release is much faster shortening the life span to 3 to 4 months.  It can be incorporated in any potting media at a rate of 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 6-inch pot or broadcast at a rate of 2 to 3.5 ounces per square yard or cubic foot of mix.
