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.
An attractive pot plant or hardy landscape plant, cylindrical spike with rose-red bracts and yellow flowers. A medium sized clustering plant with an upright rosette shape and short stolons. The green foliage has a dusting of trichomes giving a slight grayish appearance.
Aechmea nudicaulis ‘Alba’. This is a handsome curiosity from the hugely variable nudicaulis group. A medium sized plant at about 12 to 16 inches tall, narrowly tubular, with a deep ‘thumb print’ near the base of each leaf. The leaves are green and the bracts and flowers are both white. First brought into cultivation by Wally Berg from one of his Brazilian trips.
A tall grower in strong light, to about 24 inches in an upright, tubular rosette. The dark green leaves have silver banding on the undersides and large black spines. The bloom color is bright yellow-orange. Post bloom color is red and lasts for several months.
A nice form of this variable species which was collected by Berg and Anderson in Brazil. This form has stiff leaves, an upright, tubular shape, and the classic ’thumb-print’. The leaves are gray-green with silvery bands and the inflorescence is a compact cone with yellow flowers and bright red bracts.
Nice plant for mounting, with upright, somewhat tubular stoloniferous rosettes to about 8 inches or so. The leaves are green with dark bases, tiny spines and the spike is a delicate panicle of dark gray and blue. Very attractive in clumps, it is also a good choice for terrariums.
A cultivar of recurvata, probably var. benrathii, with very dark, almost black, bases. A clump forming plant that stays at about six inches tall or less.
