53517 PEPEROMIA ACUMINATA VARIEGATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Thick oval waxy leaves, with pointed edges, richly splashed creamy green and yellow ochre, set like pieces of jade on thick cascading stems thus perfect in hanging baskets; nonetheless, as these thick stems are even more scandent (rooting along the nodes as they climb) this is a wonderful plant to cover a mossed pole, rooting as it covers the moss, resulting in a shingling of beautifully variegated jade foliage. Durable constitution even though quite rare. Highly recommended as a houseplant.

53523 PEPEROMIA ARGYERIA NYBG CLONE PIP TGH HP PRICE: $ 12.00 Very large waxy blush-silver leaves with dark "crab-legs" veins not quite reaching the margins. From Bruce McAlpin. Very showy "Watermelon Peperomia" clone unfortunately also very sensitive to chill, but remarkably tolerant of low humidity. Somehow we have lost track of the old original form with the pale veins against a darker leaf.

53526PEPEROMIA BAMBOO STALKS [SPECIES] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.25 Bright curved oval one-inch long leaves in two ranks on short erect stems with attractive swollen bamboo-like leaf nodes. Very attractive in tiny bonsai pots. This will require patience, but well worth the effort to grow a mini grove of these

53528 PERPEROMIA BICOLOR POP HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.50"Inca Princess" or "Black Velvet" Pelted metal-green leaves featherd in silver with red underleaf; the low stolons of this Ecuador species gradually form mounded clumps. Very slow to establish, but of easier culture if grown in barky orchid mix and high summer temperatures are avoided.

53532 PEPEROMIA BUNTINGII PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 "Blue Watermelon Peperomia". Bluish-emerald toned leaves richly veined and patterned, form thick whorls of compact mounds (but very slowly, very deliberately); although appearing delicate, the jade like succulent leaves can easily tolerate somewhat lower humidity than expected. We accept orders for this only on a propagate-to-order basis.

53533 PEPEROMIA CAMPYLOTROPA PIP TERR TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Emerald Isle" or "Brazil" Delightful tuffets of creamy wax pewter leaves with peltate dimples; stature of a tinsy griseo-argentea. Choice easily grown dwarf for the terrarium. And the rather hopeless name? Well, it means "Curved Ovule" allowing the micropyle to come quite near the funicle. We assume this is why other plants simply love to have it grow near them in the terrarium.

53538 PEPEROMIA CAPERATA ARGENTEA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Beautiful Brazilian "Silver Ripple" The waxed corrugated leaves solid silver-gray. "Caperata" means wrinkled or puckered. Bright toned cultivar of a favorite houseplant always prized for its ability to tolerate less humidity than many houseplants; thus it thrives on the windowsill as easily as in a terrarium.

54573 PEPEROMIA CAPERATA BURGUNDY PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Purple Pucker Plant" Deeply corrugated foliage with rich dusky purple tones. Very slow growing, gradually forming a chocolate hemisphere of closely packed puckered foliage topped, with time, erect pale taper like catkins.

53537 PEPEROMIA CAPERATA MACULATA VARIEGATA SOL TGH CGH HP PRICE: $ 15.00 This is a pretty spectacular form of the regular Peperomia caperata, the Emerald Ripple Peperomia. We hope to offer it in the near future. We are working on building our stock now. Let us know if you are interested. Please email us if you might be interested. Email Us if You Like This Plant

53543 PEPEROMIA CLUSIIFOLIA [PERICATTII] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 The dramatic "False Clusia." Thick purplish concave long leaves with purple margins held erect in two ranks by thick stems; the rubbery texture heightened by bright light. A well known West Indies native, yet this is a clone found by Robert Newman in Chinese cultivation. The obvious question: is this used in Chinese medicine?

53545 PEPEROMIA CLUSIIFOLIA JELLIE PRICE: $ 4.25 "Jellie Plant" Upright "False Clusia" leaves brilliantly bordered in wide ivory bands toned pink. This is not uncommon, but it is one of the most astounding variegated forms of the Peperomia group.

53544 PEPEROMIA CLUSIIFOLIA VARIEGATA [HORT] PIP HG TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Horticultural designation of a P. obustifolia type with gorgeous cream and yellow variegation (as in Exotica.) Tolerates low humidity if given bright indirect light and thus an excellent houseplant..

53546 PEPEROMIA COLUMNELLA [HORT] PIP HG TGH PRICE: $10.00 Unique addition to any collection of succulents. "Pearly Columns" Miniature upright succulent from Peruvian Andes with tight keeled leaves nearly fused to resemble stacks of tiny succulent "Cow's Hooves" This must be treated as a succulent. Use a high proportion of perlite or orchid mix to prevent root rot. Likely to arrive poorly as a potted item, so typically shipped as a strong unrooted cutting in perlite or dry moss.

53554 PEPEROMIA CRASSICAULIS PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.25 "False Philodendron" Similar to distichia [scandens], but longer, thicker leaves with slightly downcurled thickish tips, & slightly swollen purple-ringed leaf nodes; excellent reliable hanging basket subject. From Univeristy of Copenhagen Botanical Garden collection--a Central American species believed to be extinct in its native habitat.

53618 PEPEROMIA DISTICHIA [SCANDENS] VARIEGATA PIP HP PRICE: $ 3.50 The heart leaved "False Philodendron" with bright ivory white margined waxy leaves on the fleshy cascading stem; a basic for hanging baskets. Very strong grower.

53616 PEPEROMIA DISTICHIA [SCANDENS] CRANE'S FLECKED GER HP CGH PRICE: $4.50 "Crazy Quilt Plant" Irregular patches of gray-green and soft ivory--a Ruth Crane selection we introduced years ago, yet is still rare in most collections. A wonderful unique cultivar with no two leaves ever matching--oddly this will occassionally sport to a stable 'medio-picta' form.

53558 PEPEROMIA DOLABRIFORMIS PIP HG TGH PRICE: $7.50 A fine addition to any collection. The "Prayer Peperomia" features thick fused windowed leaves sticking out from succulent stocky erect stems ending in long wand of tiny flowers. Lima-bean lime-colored leaves give a unique character to this Peruvian native. Succulent culture imperative: bright light, perfect drainage, reliable air movement.

53562PEPEROMIA FERREYRAE PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Pincushion Peperomia" Short thick succulent stems topped with many narrow trough-shaped leaves very nearly fused; the easiest succulent species to grow. How this relates ot iron (ferrea) we do not know, unless it was collected ner a railroad track.

66976 PEPEROMIA FERREYRAE HYBRID [HORT] PIP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Stockier blunt ferreyrae with fused leaves on thick, succulent stems; perhaps a variation; perhaps a separate speceies? Prefers high light and air movement, but less fussy than some succulent types.

53566 PEPEROMIA FRASERI [RESEDAEFOLIA] NANA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.50 Miniature "Flowering Peperomia" clone with glossy jade like small leaves on clumping rosettes sprouting lovely erect spikes of fuzzy blossoms. A basic for any terrarium design. Formerly known as P. resedaefolia `Dwarf.'

53568 PEPEROMIA GALIOIDES PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Pine Peperomia." or "Needle-leaf Wax Plant" Small erect branching stems with close whorls of four to six pale green needle leaflets--eventually looks like a succulent clustered mini-scale model for a Bamboo clump. Very odd habit for this genus.

53521 PEPEROMIA GARDNERIANA [CORDATA?] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 The old horticultural designation of "Argentina" probably indicates habitat origin. Big bronzy-ochre leaves bushed with dull pewter highlights, held in open rosettes achieving the character of a giant P. caperata. Of easy culture, tolerant of low humidity

41707 PEPEROMIA GLABELLA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 The reliable "Wax Privet Peperomia" with many-branched nodding stems studded by the bright green glossy fleshy foliage. Easy old favorite forming a cheerfully bright rumpled carpet of foliage brought back by popular demand.

53572 PEPEROMIA GRAVEOLENS PIP HP CGH PRICE: $6.50 SOMETIMES TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT. "Red Wax Plant" Succulent species entirely colored a glowing red-maroon--fused leaves indicate succulent epiphytic culture. Does best in a bark and perlite mix with very bright light and adequate air movement; avoid high temperatures. Not easy to grow (especially difficult in hot climates), but a remarkable color. This is only shipped as a mossed unrooted cutting.

53576 PEPEROMIA GRISEO-ARGENTEA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Formerly P. hederaefolia and thus called the "Ivy Peperomia" similar in habit to the caperata croud, but with leaf surfaces more flat, less corrugated. Round glossy silvered leaves delicately veined, held upright in mounding rosettes. The dark emerald of the depressed veins often repeated along the oval rims.

53576 PEPEROMIA GRISEO-ARGENTEA BEGONIA LEAF PIP HP PRICE: $ 4.00 Large 'Blackie' clone with overlapping upper lobes; old leaves fade to ashy-lemon to give an interesting two-tone contrast to the vigorous mounds. This Ruth Crane distribution may be the same plant known as 'Rosifolia' in Europe.

53712 PEPEROMIA GRISEO-ARGENTEA PINK MARBLE PEP HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Distinctive form with the pewter toned leaves irregularly variegated with cream and pink. Difficult to grow. Needs bright indirect light and good air circulation to perform best with oustanding colors. With experience, we have found that this prima donna ships best anchored in dry perlite.

53579 PEPEROMIA GRISEO-ARGENTEA WAVY GRAVY PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Incurved ear shaped waxy leaves with deep blushed depressed veins highlighting the pewter toned ridges--leaves quickly forming tightly foliaged low hemispheres topped with cute erect tapered catkins. Easy houseplants.

53685 PEPEROMIA GUATAMALA SELBY 78-725 PIP TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 Heavy magenta blushed stems arch under large waxy rhombic foliage. As this grows very slowly, it is usually in very limited availability, so please inquire before ordering this in any quanity. An old established clump becomes a very impressive sight.

53584 PEPEROMIA HIRTA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Multi-branched erect stems with collars of downy leaves and tall inflorescenc; probably inter-specific with P. tetraphylla. Even though somewhat tall (by Peperomia standards), avoid the temptation to plant this in a deep pot; for like galioides, this has a very shallow stoloniferous root mass.

53585 PEPEROMIA HORACE ANDERSON [SPECIES] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 Upright angled reddish jade leaves in whorls of three on toppling stems. This is a famous and older variety that has alway been know by the perhaps original collector's name. We do not know the species. Reliable but slow. Sent as unrooted cuttings in moss. We can root and establish for you if we have time.

53586 PEPEROMIA INCANA PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Felted Pepperface" Fabulous succulent leaves of gray felt (or "Amazon Fuzz") on upright fur-covered stems; easily grown Brazilian tolerating low humidity as long as grown in very bright light. Interesting also as a summer deck or patio subject as tolerates exposed conditions and adds texture and heft as well as a color tone heightening any brightly foliaged companion.

53588 PEPEROMIA JAPONICA PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 True miniature species from Okinawa & Ryukyu Islands. Short clustering upright stems hold whorls of very glossy wide leaflets--rarely found in the trade. California clone often offered as "japonica" is usually a puchella form.

53589 PEPEROMIA JUNGLE RED PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.75 Cheerful red-stemmed tangles with whorls of fat succulents patterned button leaves, violet-red beneath in high light. Great miniature plant much employed by orchid hobbyists to carpet the barky bare surfaces as (altho of delicate appearance) tolerates and even seems to prefer bright light and variable humidity.

66880 PEPEROMIA KUANCA BANBA (SP. NOVA) PRICE: $ 3.75 Upright stoutly succulent stem studded with multitudes of basil green slim leaves to resemble a petite bottlebrush, but soon self-branching into an impressive clump of rich foliage; an unnamed native of Peru. Very reliable houseplant of considerable character currently enjoying a wave of popularity well earned.

53593 PEPEROMIA MACULOSA $ 20.00 LIMITED AVAILABILITY "Radiator Plant" Pendant rich green-jade waxed lvs veined in radiating gray veins, held by maroon-spotted petioles on short trunks. One of the most wanted (but not often available) Santo Domingo species. The price reflects the extended time requred to grow this sturdy plant to a shippable size.

53595 PEPEROMIA MARMORATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Silver Heart" Large silver highlighted, quilted leaves deeply veined a bright green radiate into upright loose rosettes--in a habit similar to the griseo-argentea cultivars. Popular in terrarium designs needing a bright accent. Affinity to the slightly more succulent and slower growing P. verschaffeltii'.

53596 PEPEROMIA MERIDANA GER HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Crazy Quilt Plant" "Pixie" or "Christmas Tree" Also sold as P. gardneriana minima; and even as a Peperomia fraseri hybrid. The sheer number of names suggests how popular this has been over the years. Cheerful upright reddish blshed stems covered with petite whorls of glossy depressed-veined rich green leaves packed so closely as to give a "shingled" effect. Easy.

53597 PEPEROMIA MERIDANA MACULATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $5.00 A variegated "Pixie" beautifully splashed and slashed with cream and yellow--a Glasshouse Works selection from a sport that Ken Frieling discovered here. This lends a bit of vertical bling bling in any terrarium planting.

53600 PEPEROMIA MOONSET [SPECIES] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Ashy-lime underleaf; entire plant very felted, soft to touch like a "Mouse Ear"; Upfaced foliage topped by very erect "Mouse Tails" shaped inflorescence. A beautiful subject for light garden, probably a varient of P. moninii. Sent as mossed URCutting if none currently potted.

53602 PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA (SPECIES FORM) PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 The strong and bold original non-variegated form of this great house plant which lives through anything.

53603 PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA ALBA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 New leaves strongly and dramatically emerge pure ivory, then gradually fade to pale lime, then glossy jade green; slightly reddish petioles. A Manda selection effective in lightgardens and striking in any greenhouse collection as well as a marvelous houseplant--quite unique yet easily grown; especially valuable as the albinism is strong even when grown in warm conditions--typically hardy perennials and trees loose this sort of variegation in warm weather.

53607PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA GOLDEN GATE PIP HP PRICE: $ 4.00 Very wide fleshy leaf with slate green center surrounded by a flamed zone (a halo?) of rich cream-yellow and margined in deep green. Very flashy pot plant.

53609 PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA HICOLOR PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.00 Similar to the traditional 'Gold Tip' of Hummel, but this selection has rich golden and milky green variegation dramatically slashed throughout the entire leaf of jade like waxy succulent substance; the thick succulent stems gradually descend under the weight of the heavy highly colored leaves, thus an excellent subject for a hanging basket quite tolerant of less than ideal humidity levels..

43612 PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA SENSATION PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Manda's introduction of a huge "Marble Peperomia" with large gold-slashed waxy leaves on reclining purpled stems. Some feel this is more likely a sport of P. magnoliifolia or of P. crassifolia as it very oversized to be an obtusifolia and the catkins sometimes branch. Very rare; very spectacular, yet a potential houseplant because the thick waxy leaves tolerate bouts of poor humidity.

53629 PEPEROMIA ORBA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.75 "Princess Astrid" Dwarf-statured with multiple crowns of waxy spoon like leaves--soon forming a charming waxy tuffet; easy tinsy houseplant with unknown origin-- the name "orba" meaning "orphan." A basic for your terrarium companions.

53708PEPEROMIA PIED PIPER [SPECIES] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 Beautiful wide red-backed deep emerald leaves with silver bands on much-branching colorful stems--but of delicate nature, thus keep the slug bait handy. Lovely & showy.

53639 PEPEROMIA POLYBOTRYA [PERICATII] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 "Coin-leaf P." or "Owl Eye Plant" Stout picturesque stems hold large cupped-shield-shaped, waxed peltate leaves with a center "eye"; Andean species with racemes to one foot long covered with flowers so tiny the naked eye is defeated. Rather succulent in culture--be careful the soil is not compacted or root rot may occur.

23784 PEPEROMIA PROSTRATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 "Prostrate Peperomia" Sometimes called minima or rotundifolia. We have another dwarf creeper called P. rotundifolia, so we prefer to call this P. prostrata. This is a pleasing ground cover or even small hanging basket plant. We recommend this for the windowsill or for the small spot you want a little jewel of a plant. This also does well under lights. Can be grown on moss also--just remember that the roots never go deeper than the surface and the foliage prefers good air movement so best in a somewhat arid terrarium enclosure. This sometimes sells out because of its popularity. Thus, we have listed it as "Special Order"--please note that if it does not appear on your final order confirmation we may be out temporarily. You may also note that you want it shipped when ready. We will work with you.

53687 PEPEROMIA PUTEOLATA GRAY VEIN CLONE PIP HP PRICE: $7.50 A form of "Parallel Peperomia" with dramatic whorls of three stiff cardboard-like leaves with very bright gray-ash depressed veins; habit more stiftly upright than some collections of this epiphytic South American. Slow growing; best given same epiphytic growing conditions as Rhipsalis. Usually sent as a mossed URCutting.

53648 PEPEROMIA REPII PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 "Purple Cloud Plant" Low, much-branched purple stems covered with glossy deep toned purple leaves with silver midrib flame; excellent indoor plant of rapid growth; perfect for small hanging baskets; a natural for terrariums. Ever so perfect.

53655 PEPEROMIA SILVER BANDIT [SPECIES UNIDENTIFIED] PRICE: $ 5.00 (Catch the pun?) Reclining upright stems hold elegant pebbled leaves with upcurled edges and bright central silver flames--this Andean species needs coolish location to display best colors with perfect drainage. Astoundingly beautiful..

53656 PEPEROMIA SILVER SHEEN [SPECIES] PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Pewter Waxleaf Plant" Short arching (or scandent) succulent stems lined with thick leaves with a pewter-aluminum patina. Like acuminata, crassicaulis, and disticha this forms a beautiful moss pole specimen. Rare, yet easily grown species for small pots or baskets.

53658 PEPEROMIA TRAILING JADE [SPECIES] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Pairs of thick, blunt-edged jade leaves spaced like pendant beads on strong arching, then hanging stems, thus also called "Jade Cascade"; unique habit--best grown like a Rhipsalis. {Originally shiped as GHW #34} Peperomia pereskiaefolia form, perhaps. Sometimes sent as an URCutting in moss.

53667 PEPEROMIA VERSCHAFFELTII PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 "Sweetheart Peperomia." Deeply recurved, oval leaves with silver highlights between ochre veins; forms upright rosettes of overlapping, shingled leaves held by red-speckled petioles.

53671 PEPEROMIA VIRIDIS VARIEGATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Zig-Zagging upright arched stems bear creamy-white margined thick semi-cupped leaves; very stong basket plant. Much slower growing than the more pendant disticha group; much more compact than the acuminata cultivars. Sometimes sent as mossed URCutting.

50049 PERISTROPHE HYSSOPIFOLIA AUREO-VARIEGATA. ACAN HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Also P. angustifolia aureo-variegata. "Yellow Fellow" Narrow yellow-flamed leaves on mounding plants with delicate wands of tiny lavender flowers. "Java marbleleaf" excellent as a "filler" in mixed container designs to give a filigree feathery effect; can loose some of the yellow if in very hot conditions.

51079 PHAEDRANASSA CHLORACRA AMARY HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Exposed glossy bulbs offset to form mounds topped by short waxy leaves and occassional shy white nodding trumpet flowers soon fading to a pale pink with faint green tips. Beautiful when treated as a foliage potplant. Remember, a chill or a severe drought cause a mini-dormancy, practiced by some growers who feel that the bulbs are more likely to produce their shy blossoms after re-emerging from such an "artificial" dormancy.

51080 PHAEDRANASSA DUBIA AMARYL HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Short 8" gray strap leaves arched over surface bulbs; odd amaryllid flowers rimmed green. Perhaps best grown as a succulent. Of interest in spite of its most dubious name to all rare bulb collectors. (Translation: Perhaps of greater botanical than horticultural interest.)

57001 PHALAENOPSIS HYBRIDS [MIXED] BLOOMING SIZE ORC HP $ 17.50 "Moth Orchid" New lower price!

30293 PHILODENDRON ANDERSON'S RED ARAC HP PRICE: $ 5.00 Old hybrid heirloom originally from the great Ed Hummel, with some experts declaring this to have a P. tuxla parent, while others suggest this is more correct as P. erubescens 'Burgundy.' Whatever. This vigorous, time-proven very reliable self-branching stout vine is beautifully shingled with a multitude of rosy/purplish hued waxy thick spade-shaped leaves on stout scandent stems. Still popular for it makes a bold statement in less than ideal locations. Most dramatic when allowed to slowly climb, but equally beautiful in a hanging basket or individual container. Is it "red"? --not by current standards but was certainly more rosy toned than any thing else in the Philo tribe offered in the 1940s which was its heyday.

30294 PHILODENDRON ANDREANUM ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 45.00 "Black Gold" Elongated heart-shaped leaves of dark velvet with a lovely coppery sheen and delicate ivory veins. Probably same as P. melanochrysum. Thrives in high humidity and low light. This is one of the true beauties of the philodendron world.

30295 PHILODENDRON ANDREANUM X SODOROI [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 45.00 Fantastic large velvety heart leaves with mottlings of pale snimmery emerald and grey pewter on billowed areas between depressed lime veins; blush underleaf; held on mahogany- purple stems. Remarkable hybrid, yet easily grown if sufficient humidity and perfect drainage is provided--thus more for the conservatory than for the house.

32113 PHILODENDRON AUTUMN [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 11.50 Sometimes in short supply. "Copper Birdsnest Philo" Whorls of nearly succulent wide leaves toned orange, bronze, and russet red. Waxy succulent leaves insure your success with this hybrid as a gorgeously colored houseplant.

30629 PHILODENDRON BIPENNIFOLIUM GLAUCOUS ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $12.00 "Blue Fiddle-leaf Philo" The small-statured leaves are a waxy bluish-gray, closely spaced. Perhaps a fixed juvenile form. This has proven a handsome & reliable houseplant; if given a moss pole to slowy climb up will beautifully display a design of overlapping shingled foliage.

30299 PHILODENDRON BIPENNIFOLIUM SPLASH GORDON ARAC HP PRICE: $12.50 Dave Gordon's amazing selecting of this waxy leaved charmer with the fiddle shaped leaves now lavishly slashed and splashed with nacre cream. Definitely a show winner best displayed on a moss pole..

30700 PHILODENDRON BLACK CARDINAL [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Bamboo Nurseries self heading hybrid forming a wide dramatic waxy birdsnest habit of overlapping wide rippled leaves of burgundy flushed purple; violet petioles.. . still keeps some purple tones when grown in lower light conditions.

33107 PHILODENDRON BURLE MARX (SPECIES)ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Very dependable, semi upright vine with waxy outfacing elongated heart shaped leaves thickly set on thick stems typically dividing in a nearly monstrose knobby art noveau design. Tolerates house conditions well.

30370 PHILODENDRON CALKIN'S GOLD [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 A large growing P. domesticum hybrid with rich golden-toned foliage striated green. Unusual, handsome scandant habit; easy plant for indoors as the boldly variegated leaves are thick and waxy, thus resisting the challenge of lower levels of humidity. Highly recommended on the Bling Bling scale.

30302 PHILODENDRON CORSINIANUM [HYB] ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 60.00 Vigorous hybrid of P. lucidum with P. coriaceum. Strong stem supports wide elongate "elephant ear" waxy leaves with ruffled edges and decorative thick veins. Survives poor conditions. Propagated to order during the warmer months of the year, as have no holding area large enough to accomodate this giant. We have been suprised at the popularity of this--and those who have received this realize that the price reflects the challenge our packers face in getting these porportions into a shipping box without foliar damage.

30361PHILODENDRON DOMESTICUM ARAC HP PRICE: $ 3.50 "Spade Leaf Philo" Long lobed leaves on rubbery rounded stems; reliable scrambling viner. Easy.

Several varieties of Philodendron. Click on Thumbnail see larger image!

30306 PHILODENDRON DOMESTICUM VARIEGATUM ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 38.00 "Variegated Spade Leaf" Showy fleshy arrow-shaped leaves splashed irreguarly with rich pale cream. Strong grower given high humidity and perfect drainage with a friendly moss pole to embrace. Variable. Our pictures show the ranges it can cover in striping, mottling, and other variations.

30307 PHILODENDRON ECUADORIENSE [HORT] PRICE: $40.00 "Accordian Philo" Long vertically held leaves are rippled and deeply veined like Anthurium veitchei. As the upper lobes are thin and erect; this rarity needs to be situated in a location with evenly high humidity to avoid burning. A merely spectacular plant best situated in the conservatory or mist garden. Numbers can be limited until late summer as this is very slow to increase. Absolutely not a houseplant.

30309 PHILODENDRON ELEGANS [DUBIUM] ARAC HP PRICE: $ 10.00 "Skeleton Aroid" Very deeply fingered fern-like foliage on strong but slow growing thickly meandering clambering stems. High light encourages the foliage to be more closely situated, although remains basically scandant in habit. Hortus lists this as P. angustisectum. The photos show the plant in different conditions at different stages of maturity.

30311 PHILODENDRON FENZLII ARAC HP PRICE: $ 7.50 Shiny trilobed leaves on vigorous vine from Mexico shown to advantage when encouraged to climb a mossed pole. Easily grown mimic of the Syngonium auritum complex. Enduringly popular for its ease of growth in less than ideal conditions.

30312 PHILODENDRON FLORIDA BEAUTY [HYB] ARAC HP PRICE: $ 4.75 (Sold often as P. squamiferum, but actually reported to be a hybrid of P. laciniatum and P. pedatum). Warty petioles stiftly present glossy shield-like leaves with opposite rounded upper lobes, blunt pointed central lobes and a single large lower lobe. Sound too elaborate? Try one to find out that this reliable compact vine is far easier to grow than to describe--especially dramatic when encouraged to clamber up a mossed pole, the best method for achieving stunning foliage.

30313 PHILODENDRON FLORIDA BEAUTY ALBA ARAC HP PRICE: $ 75.00 Shared with us by David Bernett in Australia years ago, we rediscovered this in our greenhouses and have begun to propagate it. It will be more available in 2010. It is a form which produces new leaves that are frosted white, then to mottled milky green, which gradually fade to jade green. So the plant displays modulating areas of color. The vine also seems to be more compact than the regular form and makes a wonderful sight clambering up a mossed pole. New leaves of ivory veined chartruse fade to deep striated green--much larger statured than `White Squamiferum' and not usually self-heading. Very rare, hard-to-locate cultivar.

30315 PHILODENDRON FLORIDA BEAUTY VARIEGATUM [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 45.00 Rich slashes of yellow and lemon cream on deeply lobed leaves designed like an exotic mask make this a must for the collector; must have the humidity of a greenhouse to thrive; yet is small statured enough to perform brilliantly in a large Wardian Case--in fact, a perfect excuse for ordering your first large Victorian style terrarium to accomodate such a treasure. Plant addictions always have such great payoffs!

30308 PHILODENDRON FLORIDA COMPACTA [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 35.00 "Dwarf Shield Philo" Very short internodes of the stubby stems hold thick dark waxed leaves, deeply lobed. Excellent antique hybrid we have not offered for some time. Desirable form, for it is compact and holds mature foliage indefinitely.

31454 PHILODENDRON GIGANTEUM ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $ 8.75 Trinidad's "Jumbo Philo" with giant climbing trunk supporting beautifully lacquered ovate leaves with undulating margins; very closely bunched succulent petioles. Quite a spectacular giant, attractive even while a baby. (But remember: this glossy gentle giant is very intolerant of chill.) The third image is of a variegated form of this wonderful plants, available from time to time on our specialty lists.

30273 PHILODENDRON GLAUCAPHYLLUM ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.00 "Blue Philodendron" This rarity is one of the standouts of the scandent Philodendrons. Aluminum silver to blue over a waxy undertoned flared arrow leaves anchored on folded petioles.

30318 PHILODENDRON GLORIOSUM ARAC GH PRICE: $15.00 A sinuous slowly creeping short surface rhizome anchors wide beautiful and silvery green velour-surfaced leaves that are veined in pink in good light. Slow growing Philodendron from Columbia, tolerating considerably higher temperatures than most Andean species. These are young plants but are nicely rooted and established. They will be offered at this price until they become more fully grown.

30324 PHILODENDRON HEDERACEUM [HOFFMANNII] ARAC GH PRICE: $ 5.00 Climber whose leaves mimic the Algerian Ivy. Easy house plant with rubbery foliage able to survive lower humidity levels than most. While judicious pinching will produce a shrubby specimen, it is most successful when embracing a mossed pole or stiftly cascading from a pot. Proof that one can be pretty and "easy" simultaneously and not even command a high price.

56814 PHILODENDRON HOPE [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Ruffled rich green leaves with heavy substance perfect for any houseplant situation, forming a tight birdsnest shape with P. selloum echoes--even with fingered leaf margins. This is supposedly a compact clone of Philodendron selloum. We would recommend it for the home as a more compact grower than the fabulous old Philodendron selloum, "Tree Philodendron.".

30325 PHILODENDRON IMBE (ILSEMANII) VARIEGATUMARAC HP TGH $ 125.00 This is famous and almost never seen, slow groing Philodendron, sometimes called "imbe" and sometimes called "ilsemanii". We have very few of this available. We will have a few soon. Let us know if you want to obtain this rarity. Nomenclature shaky.

30326 PHILODENDRON INCONCINNUM ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Large boat-shaped decorative leaves, blushed beneath in high light; thick succulent midribs accent dull-glossy fleshy leaves overlapping on clambering vine. Easy indoor potplant for mossed pole culture. Very seldom available in the trade.

30701 PHILODENDRON JOSE BUONO ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $35.00 Very dramatic 1' to 2' long leathery sheened leaves evenly splashed & mottled lime gold; shingled effect as leaves placed on very short internodes on rose-toned stems. Certainly the most easily grown (indoors) of the extremely dramatic rare Philodendrons--even tolerating somewhat low light and less than perfect humidity. Fabulous and yet of easy culture.

31270 PHILODENDRON LEMONADE [HYB] ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $ 30.00 Quite rare vine newly marketed as "Lemon & Lime" with elegantly slim bright lemon yellow leaves punctuated by rose red petioles--much smaller statured and compact than 'Hansoti's Gold' but rumored to also be a hybrid of domesticum bloodlines. Visually stunning: very brightly colored hybrid with unusually slim waxy elegant leaves which is best shown to great advantage if encouraged to clasp a short mossed pole or treefern stake. Very beautiful even if sensitive to chill and thus shipped only during warmer months.

30367 PHILODENDRON MAMEI ARAC HP CGH PRICE: $ 25.00 New lower price! Ridged, pleated wide leaves with gorgeous silvered splotches held over a trick creeping rhizom; a magnificent spces from Ecuador. These will be ready for shipment in late June. There is a cultivar called "Silver Cloud" but I have never been able to tell the difference, so are offering this as the species form.

30333 PHILODENDRON MEXICANUM ARAC HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.50 Narrow leathery arrow leaves, with unequal basal lobes, are magenta to maroon beneath; very handsome slowly scandent sp. with small green spathes hiding ruby interior. Mexican species full of drama, soon forming an impressive show as grows white rapidly. Looks exotically difficult, while actually easily grown.

31001 PHILODENDRON MOONLIGHT [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 Very thick stem/trunk with succulently petioled leaves (at very short internodes) with wide boat-like outlines fabulously showcasing the deeply saturated lemon custard color tones, further decorated and supported with prominent pale swollen veins. St. Rose Nursery. Very bold "Birdsnest" type quite successful as a houseplant; very showy as a highlight in your hobby greenhouse (in which environment, of course, the brilliant waxy golds are most intense).

30327 PHILODENDRON NURSE NOODLES [MINI SPEARS] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 18.00Almost stemless, forms a mop of glossy small lance leaves, maintaining a miniature stature. By far the most vigorous and least fussy of any miniature we have trialed. And such a cutie!

30350 PHILODENDRON ORNATUM [SODOROI] ARAC TERRARIUM TGH PRICE: $ 32.00 The large areas of silver overwhelm the bluish-green leaf margins; the raised underribs are rouged a delicate chablis--perfect on this thin substanced heart-shaped foliage. Brazil. Must have humidity and constant warmth, thus nearly perfect addition to your Wardian case or warm greenhouse. Stunningly beautiful small statured rarity.

31455 PHILODENDRON PINNATIFIDUM ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 New! Venezuelan "Palmleaf Philodendron" with metallic green leathery leaves with deep lobes creating dramatic designs, held by spotted petioles on (eventually) tree like trunks. These are young barely lobed plants which will become more pinnate as more mature leaves are produced.

30699 PHILODENDRON PINK PRINCESS [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $35.00 Beautiful Australian hybrid with waxy deep purple leaves liberally splashed pink, ivory and gray green with random freckling throughout. Probably yet another form of 'Strawberry Shake,' this is certainly one of the most strikingly beautiful and easily grown of choice variegated plants.

42085 PHILODENDRON PRINCE OF ORANGE ARAC HP TGH $ 12.50 Can be in very short supply because often ordered in considerable numbers per order. Inquire as to availability. Wondrous richly glazed heavy leaves of truely shocking waxy orange and sunset tones closely whorled in a self-heading vase shape. Be brave and grow this very unique color (especially in the world of Aroids) with the purple leaved hybrids--Martha will let you. PP#6797

31496 PHILODENDRON QUAIL GARDENS (SPECIES) ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $ 25.00 Congested contorted succulent stems armed with thick winged petioles tipped with slim cookie cutter leaves. Offsetting and re-offsetting stubby fat stems eventually assume a decorative disheveled hemispherical outline. Makes Medusa's hair look tidy. Succulent enough to survive considerably dry atmospheres. Also quite popular with succulent collectors.

30365 PHILODENDRON SANTA LEOPOLDINA II PRICE: $ 45.00 The elegant narrow leaved form with reddish blushed reverse; on strong scandent stems. Fabulous 'Red Back' version. The last two images are of the standard version that is available only occasionally.

30336 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS [OXYCARDIUM] ARAC GH PRICE: $ 2.00 The most common "Vining Hearts" (sigh), but still very beautiful florists' favorite. This vine with its waxy erect heartshaped leaves is a basic in every dishgarden delivered by florists. Certainly as "common as dirt" according to one judgemental customer, yet it still makes a perfect hanging basket.

30337 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS AUREUM ARAC HP PRICE: $ 5.50 "Limeleaf Vine" Very showy chartreuse leaves create a glow of sunshine anywhere this is placed in your plant display; reliable sturdy plant equally at home in a pot or cascading dramatically from a hanging basket.

30600 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS MEDIO PICTUM PRICE: $ 5.50 "Flame Leaved Heart Plant" Each glossy leaf sports a showy creamy lime central slash sometimes with faint gray green featherings. Although versions of this have appeared since Hummel offered it thirty years ago, it still undergoes reincarnations in the wholesale trade, most currently reappearing brand new all over again as 'Brazil.' Ah, the marvels of marketing.

30334 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS MICANS ARAC HP PRICE: $ 5.75 "Velvet Hearts" This is a bronzy velvety toned heart leaved vine very popular as is adaptable to low light as well as imperfect humidity. Adds a rich tone to any combination.

30335 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS MIDUHOI ARAC GH PRICE: $ 7.75 This "Jumbo Velvet Hearts" is larger-statured than micans, as well as having broader, more shimmery coppery leaves on stiff stems, but is equally reliable as a low-light houseplant although it seldom self-heads.

30338 PHILODENDRON SCANDENS VARIEGATUM ARAC PRICE: $ 12.00 "Variegated Heartleaf Philo" Leaves streaked with grey green and cream. Very beautiful. More variegated in cool shaded environment--can become marbled lime in the intense heat of the south. Our original plant derived from the famous Hummel collection (in California) many years ago--and it is still as sought after today as it was twenty five years ago. At certain times of the year when this is shipped, this may not look as variegated as at other times usually because it has been propagated in a very warm greenhouse. It comes true; it has not reverted. You will just have to wait for new growth.

32102 PHILODENDRON SELLOUM [BIPINNATIFIDUM] ARAC HP PRICE: $ 4.50 Brazil's "Lacy Tree Philodendron" remains the most reliable of dramatic houseplants with large deeply lobed leathery leaves radiating from the thick succulent trunk sprouting curious aerial roots and greenish white flowers. While these are finger leaved seedlings now, by the time your grandchildren inherit this it will be an enormous elaborately deeply lobed specimen of considerable girth and the beginnings of a stout trunk. They will never forget you.

30371 PHILODENDRON SQUAMIFERUM [TRUE] ARAC GH PRICE: $ 15.00 This true form differs from the P. squamiferum hybrids by real presence of squami on the petioles: very hairy stems' elaborately lobed leaves with glossy surface. Performs well as a houseplant with its mask shaped foliage, like glossy green violins stuck onto very rough surfaced pipecleaners, whether encouraged to remain bushy or allowed to slowly ascend a mossed pole. Too hairy for you? Then try the faster growing, glossier, deeper green 'Florida Beauty' instead.

56821 PHILODENDRON TENUE [HORT] ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 "Dwarf Accordian Leaf Philodendron" Elongated hearts with fabulous depressed veins creating a deep ribbing curving from the central leaf vein; seems an abbreviated ecuadorense with heavier substance and rose blushed clambering stems. This tender creature will be propagated-to-order for you as patience is required getting this established.

30352 PHILODENDRON VARIIFOLIUM (TRUE) ARAC HP TGH $ 15.00 Wavy thin leaves brushed pewter and honey-ash. Extremely choice and beautiful plant; introduced from Bolivia. Similar in habit to Philodendron scandens.

56800 PHILODENDRON XANADU PP7030 ARA HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Elongated leathery leaves with many shallow rounded fingered lobes. Thickly overlaping dark leaves form a birdsnest shape rather than a clambering vine like P. elegans. A perfect houseplant.

33109 PHILODENDRON XANADU GOLDEN FORM ARA HP TGH PRICE: $ 17.50 Available now. Elongated leathery leaves with many shallow rounded fingered lobes like the hybrid above, however the new foliage emerges a bright golden color. Thickly overlaping golden leaves form a birdsnest shape rather than a clambering vine like P. elegans. A perfect houseplant. Probably will not stand as much sun or bright light as the standard green form.

We are pleased to offer this 2010 season an excellent clone of the original "Blue Bears Paw." This is not the wild form seen in trees in the south and it is not the ruffled "Mandianum" type!

11114 PHLEBODIUM (POLYPODIUM) FORMOSANUM POLYPOD HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 The "Naked Rabbit Foot Fern," so called as the small bright chalk white rhizomes are not furred but seem to flow over the surface, dividing like "E.T.'s Fingers" under a very low canopy of beautiful delicately lobed bluish fronds. Easy once established--a tremendous performer on a mossed topiary globe..

68583 PHORMIUM COOKIANUM [COLENSOI] VARIEGATUM AGA CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Impressive "Margined Mountain Flax" with ivory margined stiff leaf blades forming clumping fans of foliage. Flowers said to be yellow. Pefers cool winter conditions--in fact, this performs best in the winter conservatory with bright light, as it pouts all summer.

42108 PHORMIUM TENAX APRICOT QUEEN AGA HP CGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Matte green sword leaves with orange yellow center, random salmon and yellow cream striping. In full sun with coolish conditions (above freezing, please!) new blades emerge a peculiar apricot hue. Very impressive.

65652 PHORMIUM TENAX ATROPURPUREUM LIL HH CGH PRICE: $ 8.50 Dark bronzy purple leathery flat leaves fanned out into dramatic displays--currently quite popular "New Zealand Flax"; dull coppery red inflorescenceorescenceoresence.

40813 PHORMIUM TENAX SUNDOWNER LIL CGH HP HH PRICE: $ 16.00 "Variegated Flax" Handsome strap leaves richly striped in cream pink to contrast with violet-purple blushed underleaf. P. tenax leaves traditionally used by Maori maidens for skirts. The pink striped leaf fans are merely spectacular.

10960 PHYLLITIS [ASPLENIUM] SCOLOPENDRIUM POLYP GH PRICE: $ 8.00 Rosette of knife-shaped fronds. Can often be grown outside in a milder clime than ours. This is the famous "Hart's Tongue" fern. The last picture is of a crested form; perhaps we will have these again in the future.

80364 PHYLLOSTACHY NIGRA BLACK BAMBOO GRA GH PRICE: $ 95.00 One of the most sought after of the Bamboo cultivars, this is not totally hardy in the North, but after a cool spell always darkens into a great looking plant.

Please inquire as to the current availability of "Black Bamboo" in liter pots at a much reduced price..
