Amorphophallus
titanum (Titan Arum, Bunga Bangkai or "Corpse
flower") - No matter what you decide to call it (some even name
theirs), there will be no mistake on what it is or ever detract attention
from all who look upon its magnificent appearance. Best kept in a
greenhouse environment unless you live in a tropical zone 10 conditions,
these unrealistic plants just ooze oddity displaying the largest true
flower in the world. While not in bloom and this will for a good length of
time), you can enjoy its dark green unusual leafy lobed vegetation
that should grow to 10 feet tall on a tree like stem. As a member of the
aroid family, its not a difficult plant to grow and anyone with slightly
green thumb should be able to enjoy this and anticipate its bloom. When
you do get yours to bloom, you should alert the media as it could attract
world wide attention (not to mention the neighbors as it emits its odorous
perfume). That is an understatement of course as this flowers odor is
described as a repulsive, "rotting-fish-with-burnt-sugar" scent
to attract the plant's pollinators. Willing to put up with this a few diligent
folks have had to cover their nose. You should have excellent results
nurturing this giant aroid by growing it in bright indirect light with
moist, rich in compost, well draining soil, high humidity and a regular
supply of fertilizer. Get yours started today with a healthy young plant
from Central Florida Farms! Hurry before they're
gone!

Yucca filamentosa 'Variegata'
- Variegated Yucca - Watch out for this
awesome contrasting plant! This easy to grow beauty will grow in sand or
soil. It likes full sun to partial shade and is a steady growing plant
to 3-4 feet tall and just as wide. The sharp pointed tips will pierce
clothing and skin so place these out of the way. These plants make an
excellent corner, center piece or border strip or could be placed as a
protection plant near your lower home's windows. These are dangerous so
be careful with the kids. When mature they will send up a very tall
flower about 30 feet high from the midst of the plant. The flowers look
like a tree from a distance and everyone wants to get a closer look.

established.

of all bromeliads. This plant makes a spectacular center piece or more
than one will make an excellent corner piece. They will send out pups
after the plant is established. These are very easy to grow and cannot disappoint
you unless you're impatient about its bloom. In the meantime, you'll enjoy
a wonderful gigantic, Jurassic plant for your show.

$19.99 per plant approx: 8-10" tall, well
established.
Chartreuse
Philodendron Scandens 'Aureum' - I found this
awesome colored bright plant a few weeks ago and couldn't resist. The heart
shaped leaves begin a creamy white and grow into bright yellow or blinding
lime green. Even brighter than Xanthosoma Lime Zinger! I always loved how
the variegated and green varieties get very large leaves while climbing
trees and trellises, so this one will just blind anyone who dares to look.
They will do well as an indoor houseplant as will the variegated pothos so
you northern folks can easily have pleasure in this one as well. Outdoor
growers in warmer climates (Zone 8b - 11) can experience this magnificent
plant climb their tree trunks, walls, patio trellis or anywhere you decide.
This also makes an excellent hanging basket plant. Protected under the
tree's shade hammock from frost, it should retain its leaves to continue
growing the next season. IF left unprotected, it will most likely lose its
leaves but retain its structure to begin a fresh set the following season.
Cant really go wrong here!

$21.99 per 2 well rooted, growing plant vine
Remusatia
Pumila - An interesting plant! The leaves are contrasting
darker outlining the veins with light green undersides. They grow to heights of
about 10-12" tall. These epiphytic plants grow high in the trees clinging
onto its host. They are extremely easy to grow and resemble a miniature alocasia
species. They can be potted up and grown indoors or planted in the same manner
as a stag horn fern or any other epiphyte. They require moist roots so keeping
potted in a Canadian peat soil mix is recommended for easier care. They like bright shade to do their best.
The propagate via small runners with a sticky bulbous all along the way that
would normally cling to birds and tree mammals to be distributed throughout its
habitat. Works well in a dish garden or other indoor arrangement. A small plant that will fit anywhere you place it. remusatia
