Nursery and Gift
Namaqualand, South Africa. Stunning tree aloe with caudex trunk, multi-branched to 25ft in habitat. Yellow blooms. Smooth trunked. While cold-hardy, we have had more success growing this indoor in the San Francisco Bay Area, from seedlings to larger specimens.
Slow-clumping terrestrial orchid w/5ft. bloom stalks and small ruffly edged flowers.
A genus of 45 rhizomatous terrestrial species in the Orchid Family (Orchidaceae) from Asia and the Pacific Islands. Tend to prefer regular even watering of the roots.
Trichocereus bridgesii “Monstruosa”
There are a number of different clones of this monstrose cactus, but they all have the smooth skin, regular branches, and thin long spines.
Very low water, they get most of their moisture from morning dew, and a small amount of rainfall in the late summer.
We find that heavy misting every couple weeks is enough for most of the year, a little extra water down to the roots in August/September is best. To be fine with this level of water we recommend growing the Lithops in very bright indirect light, very little direct sun. With more sun they do take more water but it is tricky to get it right and they are rot prone if you try.
