THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
For lovers of weird, a nearly leafless, shrub-like member of the Didiereaceae that can reach nearly 10 feet tall but grows in a rather haphazard clump of tangled branches. The cylindrical stems are kind of olive green with silver tricomes and bears scattered conical spines which are stout but not ‘dangerous’.
Native to southern coastal Madagascar in the regions of the thorn forest from near sea level to almost 1,000 feet. A dioecious species that requires both sexes to set seed, but is easily propagated from cuttings. Reportedly slow growing but we do not find this to be especially true. Best grown in full sun to partial shade, well drained soils and moderate watering. Protect from freezing.
A small growing Aechema recurvata hybrid by Lisa Vinzant. Olive green with dark leaf tips that turn blue with age. Produces a short inflorescence of pink. Matures at 10 inches tall. Grows best in bright filtered light.
A medium sized, upright, open vase-shaped rosette with fairly stiff leaves that are dusted with trichomes. The inflorescence is showy, a cylindrical spike of ‘match stick’ flowers of bright orange with blue petals.
A beautiful red foliaged form of Nudicaulis from the vicinity of Martinhos-Morretes, Parana, Brazil. Compact, upright rosettes of broad leaves that are stiff, blunt and glossy are colored medium green with a red wash and a veneer of dark burgundy in bands and streaks. The leaf undersides have a grayish wash. The inflorescence is bright yellow with flaming red bracts, very showy. Very stoloniferous and thrives mounted. Looks great in a hanging basket too.
A true desert-dweller from the rocky hills of Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico. A compact plant with wide leaves tapering to a sharp spine and bearing large marginal spines and a light strip up the leaf in more mature specimens. Reaches about 24in.
A choice miniature from Mexico that grows in a full compact rosette to about 6 inches. The stiff leaves are very thick and succulent terminating in a sharp spine. With age the plant develops white filaments along the leaf margins, which grow fairly long and curl. This form has bold creamy white variegation along the margins. Cold hardy for gardens to freezing and just below. Small enough and slow enough for pot culture.
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.
