Cactus and Succulents
Monilaria moniliformis
Likes very rocky soils. Winter-growing, flowers in the spring. Will grow an irregular caudex topped with small paired tubular jeweled leaves when active, deciduous when dormant.
Monolena primuliflora
Large-leafed rare tropical epiphyte. Grown as a Houseplant can handle a variety of indoor light conditions, bright indirect is best. Fast draining soil, moderate water, high humidity. Occasionally mist the leaves. Will form a caudex, very slow growing. Red begonia-like flowers.
Myrmecodia beccarii
Epiphyte; hollow chambers in caudex colonized by ants
Myrmecodia echinata
Myrmecodia platytyrea
Epiphytic, caudiciform, growing to 8-10″. White flowers, orange fruit.
Myrmecodia tuberosa
Myrtillocactus “Fukurokuryuzinboku”
M. geometrizans “Fukurokuryuzinboku”
Monstrose form with prominent tubercules, slow growing.
Myrtillocactus geometrizans
Well-branched, tree-like to 12ft.; clustered sparkly white flowers, edible berries.
Myrtillocactus geometrizans “Elite Crest”
Stunning, slow-growing, densely crested cactus. Bluish in full sun. Tends not to bloom or set fruit as much as the non-crested species.
Myrtillocactus geometrizans “Elite Monstrose”
New form from the M. “Elite Crest”, has lost the crest but is now a fa. monstrose. This form seems to be stable as a monstrose, and will not crest or revert to species. Blue in full sun.
