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.
Application Rates: Constant Feed: A rate of 50 to 150 ppm of nitrogen is recommended. For bi-weekly applications: Use at the rate of 1½ to 2 tsp per gallon of water. Monthly: 1 to 1½ to tbs/gal.
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.
Our virgin cork slabs are flat and vary in size from about 6 inches to over 12 inches wide and 12 to 30 inches long. Thickness varies from about a half inch to two inches with the majority being in between those numbers.
To get an idea of size to weight, you can figure roughly a square foot per pound, rarely under that, usually over. This material is widely touted to be the best and most durable substrate for mounting epiphytic plants; resisting rot and pests and lasting for many years under greenhouse conditions. The upper surface is rough and craggy and the underside, harder and fairly smooth. Great for use in terrariums or cages as it is non-toxic, and useful as a decorative background to display jewelry or other objects.
This product is harvested sustainably in Portugal from Quercus suber, the cork oak, and it’s main use is for bottle stoppers and shoe soles. This is a completely natural product. Easily broken into any size needed and can be ‘drilled’ with an awl or ice pick.
Every time we call they are super friendly and very helpful when placing our order.

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.
I mix Osmocote into my potting mix
2 lbs Osmocote to each 30 gallon tub of mix. It gives excellent results.

We offer cork pieces already broken into useful sizes, especially useful for those who may find it difficult to break pieces up by hand. Thickness varies from about a half inch to an inch and weighs 2 ounces (small) and 6 ounces (medium) each.

I ordered a small and a medium piece of cork. They came quickly, carefully wrapped and just as described. Exactly what I wanted.

Sponge rock, also known by the name expanded perlite, is a very common ingredient in orchid mixes. Sponge rock decreases compaction of mix, increases aeration and retains moisture.
