A fantastic 2022 hybrid from Jim Pearce is a cross of Pitcairnia (Pepinia) leopoldii x burle-marxii. Grows to 20 inches across and 20 inches tall. The inflorescence is bright red orange that grows out of the center of the plant.
This is a beautiful red leaved cultivar. I'm not that familiar with the different Pitcairnia species but this hybrid made by Jim Pearce is stunning.
The first bromeliad nursery I ever went to, while visiting my Mom in Florida, mid 1980s was Eloise Beach Bromeliads in Apopka. So I met both Eloise and Jim at that time. I didn't know Mr. Pearce would be doing plant breeding with genus Pitcairnia in the future, and I am thankful that Tropiflora introduced me to this plant.

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.

Wilted bromeliad
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.

We are not quite sure that there is an interesting story behind the name of this Chester Skotak hybrid, but I am just as happy to not know what it is. This handsome, robust grower is a cross of a selected dark clone of Aechema fendleri with the fabulously popular Aechmea ‘Blue Tango’. The result is a stunning, variegated plant with red tinted foliage and a spectacular blue and pink inflorescence.
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.
Received a healthy and beautiful plant. Arrived quickly

An exceptionally fine clone of this colorful form. Tubular with stiff, flaring leaves that are heavily armed with large black spines. Light green base color with black, brown and purple veneer. This plant comes from the collection of the Marie Selby Botanical Garden with the code of (SEL95-0072A).
Accession notes record that it was collected by Luther, Leme, Nahoum, Benzing, Till Krugel in Datas-Diamantina, Minas Gerais in roadside trees, campos rupestris as an epiphyte in February, 1995. A chance to own a truly fine specimen with impeccable records.
Decorative ceramic Autumn pumpkin planters, perfect for your favorite small tillandsia. This collection includes 4 pumpkins, one of each color as shown, for a set price of $24.99. Each planter measures 3" tall, includes a drain hole.
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.
