Love the ones I just got from you, all doing well and growing strong!! Thank you very much!!
The plant arrived quickly and in good shape. I have been wanting to try this clone to see if it will bloom. I have another clone of this species that grows well and produces pups in Florida, but it has not bloomed in 5 years or more. I'm hoping this one will. I also have a spot in my garden protected from rain, so I'm experimenting with Tillandsias from dry biomes to see how they do. So far, this and 7 other species are surviving and growing in my new place and with water only from rain spray (or a hose once a week). For these experiments, it's more rewarding to start with plants in good condition, and this one meets that criterion.
I love Euphorbias. I probably have all that Tropiflora sold. It arrived in perfect shape as everything I have ever ordered. Most Euphorbias do good in the Keys. . Not much rain but don’t mind the humidity like some succulents.
One of my favorite Aechmeas. The shape, color and heat/sun tolerance make this a standout. Mine color up best in Texas winter.
I received a nice healthy tillandsia and I love it. I mounted it on a piece of cork yesterday. Thank you! I'll miss you!!
I always love the plants I get from Tropiflora. I think they are a good value, and they arrive in a timely manner in good condition
Just a dream. Love it. Arrived well packed. As always just beautiful plants. Vampirete true to her name brought first blood unpacking.
I was disappointed the 4 types were not separated. At least with paper. Now I don’t know what I have
Beautiful Love the color .....always enjoy visiting this place and people are nice ..... sorry they move...
Just Stunning! Could not be happier with my purchase. Thank you.
In the ground and off and running. Nice looking bromeliad but only time will tell how good it does here in SoCal. My thanks to Tropiflora. Now find me that pup of Blood Oath so I can get this project complete.
The plants were so well packed, they arrived in perfect condition. They are big and beautiful, I am so pleased. Thank you so much Tropiflora !!
I have a rather large collection of air plants, most of them are small and inexpensive. This one was a splurge for me. I received a nice looking plant about 6” in length. Looking forward to seeing what develops!
Love this dyckia. Potted up and looking good. Arrived well packed. Will miss buying here.
Love the dark color and light blotches of this plant. Looking forward to seeing it get to full size.
I just sent a review but accidentally clicked one star. It should be obvious from my review that I intended 5 stars, but I’m sending this edit to leave no doubt.
Plant is huge and in beautiful shape. I remember my first experience with Tropiflora - was new to bromeliads and in my early 30s. Saw their ad in a gardening magazine classifieds (pre-internet). Called and talked to Linda - asked her to recommend a couple large growing vase type ones. She recommended Aechmea rubens and a Quesnelia. They were beautiful, so I started my collection (obsession) and never looked back. Eventually, a visit to Tropiflora became one of our highlights of our road trips each year from CT to the FL Keyes. Linda was always in the office, eventually Robin stepped in, Brian would always be called in to find what I wanted or identify what hidden gem I found in one of their plant houses. Occasionally I’d see Dennis - when he wasn’t on the trail of some new discoveries in Central or South America, or at a major conference or international show. They’re the best plant people, period! I’m now about to turn 70, and while I’m sorry to see them go, I understand as a senior that we are entrusted to care for others in different ways at different times, and then move on to what life next calls upon us to do. So I wish my good friends at Tropiflora all the best as they enter into a new stage of their lives, and thank them for caring for me so well in all my interactions with them. Their closing will leave a huge hole in the exotic plant world, but also a big hole in the hearts of their customers - but the holes in our hearts will still be filled with great memories. I realize this is a story more than a review - but consider it my Cargo Report story about … what happened on the way to making great plant friends. Thank you all and Fare thee well.
Back in the last century, specifically from the 1980s through about 1993, I lived and breathed bromeliads.
I worked at a high class tropical plant shop in Gatlinburg Tennessee, where I was introduced to the diversity of the bromeliaceae.
I met Mr Groves at Bert Fosters' nursery, and I feel we became friends.
Magali is one of heaven knows how many superior Neoregelia hybrids that Grant made. And not just Neos.
I like to think of Magali as a retro looking Neoregelia. Back when I worked at Blooms of Gatlinburg, the basic 4 bromeliads we sold were Ae. fasciata, Vr. splendens, Guz. lingulata, and Ne. carolinae. Or hybrids made from them.
Neoregelia 'Magali' makes a great house plant. Get one for yourself now. Here's Grant in a tree, much like Mulford Foster before him
Lovely nicely shaped and healthy. Look forward to watching it grow for years to come. Several of my air plants from Tropiflora are approaching 9 years old.
Great plants and great service. Wish you stay in business for a long time.
Loved the interesting pattern on the plant leaves and size, looking forward to its inflorescence. Happy addition to my yard:)
