Orlando and Central Florida succulent gardening
|
|
In apopka there is a succulent nursery that ships most of their plants out of state... Succulents are a landscapers nightmare... A footnote: most succulents will provide you with years if not decades of success provided you cut the supplemental watering. |
VARIEGATED BRAZILIAN ALOE Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta' | |
One of first succulent to be introduced s thried, spinelss, each more beautiful than the next. Amazing. |
KALANCHOE Kalanchoe blossfeldiana hybrids | |
Myths about this plant are more prolific the the plant itself. No, it is not a parasite. No, you do not 'get bugs from it'. No, it won't cause the end of the world. Quite the opposite, this is the most beautiful air quality monitor in the world, it will not grow where there is the slightest pollution.
Spanish moss is mostly appreciated far away from its native range. Upon seeing the wispy drapes, Northeners will exclaim "Beautiful", Europeans say "How Romantic" with a sigh, and in Ausralia and Asia hard cash is paid for just a few strands. The floral industry has relied on this gem for years. Think of that next time you rake or drive over fallen clumps. By the way, in the Nursery and Landscaping industry, this is a plant that money just can't buy. |
SEDUMS Vriesea sp. and hybrids | |
Sedums range from petite to monstrous, some are grown for their flowers, others for foilage. The flowering Vrieseas sport a very exotic bloom structure, availble in every fruit juice color, which visually comparable to Heliconias, but with a tiny fraction of the plant size and without the ungainly leaves. The massive foilage Vrieseas are pure impact. |
