One of the most stunningly beautiful of Dyckias with narrow arching silvery green, sometimes even reddish leaves and massive, soft, comb-like spines in a graceful rosette. Newly published in only 2002, it is a narrow endemic species known from only one site in the southernmost Brazilian state of Rio Grade do Sul where it is native to basaltic rock outcrops in isolated mountainous interior.

Our clone came to us from Constantino Gastaldi in adjacent Santa Catarina state, from seed produced in his private collection. Because the seed are from cultivated plants, he admonishes us that it is altogether possible that they are not pure delicata. However, in our seedling crop, all plants are consistent and all “look like” what a Dyckia delicata should look like at this stage.

A hybrid from our friend Bob Spivey in Louisiana. We don’t know what Bob was after when he made this cross, but he sure got a dukes mixture of colors and shapes. 

A medium size growing terrestrial bromeliad. Maturing at 10 inches across, narrow tapering green leaves that are covered with silver white scurf. Grows best in bright light to full sun. Like most Dyckias it prefers to be watered weekly during the dry hot weather.

This is an enigmatic Dyckia from an isolated site near Campos Allegre in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In this area the forest is mainly that of Araucaria angustifolia, a prehistoric-looking giant that is now quite endangered.  A hill rises from a forest clearing, covered with knee-high grasses and at the top, mostly flat rock outcrops that continually seep water.  The rocks are coated with mosses and this moist environment is the home of a very odd Dyckia. 

There are no other Dyckias nearby, not for many miles, but yet this colony on this rocky outcrop are extremely variable, with many different sizes, leaf widths and colors.  Some are narrow leaved and graceful while others are more robust. 

The plants appear to be a hybrid colony, but with what? From where? We collected seeds from several plants grew our crop from variable seedlings.

A new introduction for 2024. The plant that we are offering were grown from wild collected seed. The plant forms a large rosette, to over 12in across, with recurving stiff chartreuse leaves that have really large white hooked spines. Very attractive. Mature size is 12 to 14 inches across.  We originally believe this plant to be a clone of Dyckia burle-marxii.

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

An endemic rupicolous species that is native to Brazil. It is slow to propagate so it takes a while to have them available for sale. The plant forms a large open rosette, to over 30 inches across with recurving stiff green leaves that have large spines.

This is a spectacular, large-growing species, descended from plants grown from seed collected by Wally Berg on Pico do Fernando, Bahia, Brazil. The plants have hundreds of narrow, strap-like, spiny leaves at maturity, recurving downward to form a graceful ball-like shape. Encholirium species grow much like the genus Dyckia, enjoying water in the growing season and a rest in cooler weather.

Can grow in filtered light or full sun. This species is monocarpic or occasionally making one or two offsets. The bloom spike can reach 4 feet in height and branches out, the flowers are large for bromeliads, with green bracts and petals filled with a pungent, sticky fluid, possibly to attract pollinators; bats have been seen pollinating this plant.

This is a spectacular, large-growing species, descended from plants grown from seed from Brazil. The plants have hundreds of narrow, strap-like, spiny leaves at maturity, recurving downward to form a graceful ball-like shape. This variety has wider leaves and develops a glaucous scurfing over the leaves. The one that we are offering is starting the develop the glaucous scurf.

 Encholirium species grow much like the genus Dyckia. Grow in bright filtered light. This species is monocarpic.
