Neoregelia x correia-araujoi albomarginated
6913
An uncommon plant that is not yet widely represented in collections, Neoregelia x correiaaraujoi albomarginated is an enigmatic species considered by some to be a natural hybrid of Neo. johannis and marmorata. It is, however, listed in the binomials and is still an ‘official’ species.
A large growing plant from the southern regions of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, the rosette can be nearly 4 feet across with leaves 6 inches wide, light green with red mottling, pale above, stronger below, and red leaf tips. In bright light or even full sun it becomes much more compact.
Our clone is a albomarginated, with a wide creamy white stripe up the leaf margins.

Delivered in perfect condition. Unusual and already a large plant at a diameter of 14". Will be perfect for NE FL since it is from coastal Brazil.

Octagon Vanda Basket
OVB
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.

Pachypodium lamerei
759
THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
A pachycaul native to Madagascar where it attains tree-like dimensions. In cultivation it responds to pot size and will remain dwarfed if kept in smaller containers. The silvery trunk is thick and covered with heavy spines and is crowned with light green, six to ten inch leaves. Very easy to cultivate and useful in xeriscaping in frost free areas. Makes a good house plant, and often goes by the name of 'Madagascar Palm' but of course, it is not palm at all.
Pachypodiums go dormant in winter and lose their leaves. Do not be alarmed by this natural leaf drop.

Pitcairnia 'Obsession'
2138
Received quickly. Broms I ordered are good quality, and received in perfect shape.
I am very pleased with my plant. It arrived in good condition. I love the red coloration of the leaves, very beautiful !!
It’s early days. I soak all plants in distilled water for 24 hours to hydrate them rain water whe ever it’s available. Then I plant in moist media and wait till they get going.
My Pitciarnia obsession arrive with all the leaves curled in. I gave it a good watering and that didn’t help. I called Tropiflora and the woman told me to plant it in soil vs the orchid bark I planted it in. I did that and no change. See photo. I hope to get a new plant or a refund/ credit.
