Prostrate creeping dwarf species with metalic pustulate leaves. creating a waffled carpet in a large terrarium or as a low light houseplant grown in a pebble tray; absolutely fabulous in a large terrarium or in a Wardian Case.

56056 BEGONIA HAWAIIAN FREAKOUT [HYB] BEG HP TERR CGH PRICE: $ 7.00 (rex) Unique upright miniature with extremely monstrose, cupped leaves flecked with coral & silver; prefers a winter rest unless in the perfect stable conditions of a container such as your terrarium in which it will become a terrible showoff.

56120 BEGONIA SILVER PERIDOT BEG TERR HP PRICE: $ 12.00 (rex) Sport of 'Peridot' with larger, silver patterned leaves. Also offered as 'Exotic Peridot', a synonym. Excellent terrarium subject, forming a self-branched mound.

40087 BULBOPHYLLUM LEPIDUM ORC TGH HP PRICE: $ 15.00 Miniature Orchid with whorls of hinged cream white blossoms. Short leathery leaves erect over creeping rhizome--best grown on moss with good air movement; nonetheless, will also thrive in a large terrarium with low levels of humidity.

41352 CALATHEA LIETZEI MAR TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.00 Arching undulate oval bottomed lance leaves of dark bronzed velvet with pale midribs and olive stripes. Brazilian species of modest size with the endearing habit of producing plantlets along the bloom clusters creating tuffets of bronzy leaves midair. Does not demand the constant humidity and does not brown as the soil ages with accumulations of salts as do some of its more spectacular breathern. Good performer in the larger terrarium or wardian case.

40093 CALATHEA RUFIBARBA [ACCUMINATA] MAR TGH TERRARIUM PRICE: $ 7.50 Erect hirsute cinnamon leaves, purplish reverse; dense clumper. This one is small enough to add a vertical accent to a Wardian Case composition.

66900 CALATHEA THAI BEAUTY MAR TERR TGH PRICE: $ 50.00 Remarkable bold cream & lime variegation creating a different irregular pattern on each upward whorled leaf. Most probably in the C. lietzei complex.

Favorite greenhouse groundcover and charmingly bright in any terrarium design.

10607 MICROGRAMMA PALMERII [NITIDA] POLYP TERR TGH $ 25.00 Many semiglossy small elongated-oval fronds held erect over the slim, hairy, slightly flatened rhizomes meandering over cork or treefern; because this fern evolved upon tropical treetrunks, it survives low humidity better than some; but truely thrives when given artifical rain forest (good humidity) conditions in a terrarium where it forms a dense otherworldly groundcover. We ship this miniature gem as divisions in moist moss.

30287 MONSTERA STANLEYANA VARIEGATA ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Rich ivory splashes on elongated, round tipped leaves; very beautiful selection of this scandent vine shingled with soft leathery foliage of deep green slashed with ivory white.

A gem for any light gardener; quickly winning over designers of terrarium landscapes as well. Quite a jewel in a terrarium or Wardian Case plant combination. Sometime called Oxalis Silver & Gold.

23784 PEPEROMIA PROSTRATA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 "Prostrate Peperomia" New listing for 2010. Sometimes called minima or rotundifolia. We have another dwarf creeper called P. rotundifolia, so we prefer to call this P. prostata. This is a great 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.

Reliable and terminally cute "Gnome Stools" plant adding a delicate lacy look to contrast with bolder shapes in your terrarium. One of our best reliable terrarium plant subjects.

40833 PODOCARPUS MACROPHYLLUS OKINA [ARGENTEUS] POD CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Japanese selection of "Frosted Buddhist Pine" with narrow leaves richly striated in white and gray-cream. Very rare clone also in the literature as `Albo-vittae.'

10014 ADIANTUM PERUVIANUM POLYP TERR TGH $ 10.00 "Silver Dollar Maidenhair Fern" Once again available. Large dramatic species with pink toned new foliage hardening into rich green arching fronds. Must have high humidity to perform well--loves a large Wardian Case as its home (this is far too large for a small or narrow terrarium); nonetheless, if given a cool bright windowsill and a pebble tray, it will also become an impressive specimen given time and humidity; always a star in any hobby greenhouse if given a winter rest period. Always a popular and much sought after dramatic rarer plant!

52023 AECHMEA GRACILIS BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00"Popcorn Plant" Short outcurving leathery stiff rosettes present short popcorn inflorescence of bright red bracts with red-violet flowers--and these are very very impressively colored.

Although we recommend greenhouse culture in our climate, some customers have successfully grown this as a house or large Wardian Case specimen, always keeping constant levels of humidity.

Decorative "Japanese Birdsnest Fern" form with elegant slim fronds with wavy ruffled margins, forming bowl-shaped specimens thriving in high-light areas, tolerating low humidity.

Wonderful windowsill "Busy Lizzy" type. Petite enough foliage to work in wardian case designs--although it will probably need an annual trimming as it is really quite vigorous.

56910 BEGONIA DEJA THORUS BEG TERR CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 (rz) Fabluous silver nacre leaves with elegantly frilled and fluted margins. Great in a Wardian Case.

56513 BEGONIA EXOTICA BEG HP PRICE: $ 15.00 Amazing cranberry foliage. A difficult plant to keep. Needs high humidity so a purchase of a Wardian Case will insure a fabulous specimen. Limited availability at times, so please inquire to find when the next set will be shipped--none can be mailed successfully durning hot parts of the year as is extremely intolerant of high temperatures.

Procumbent stems hold pebbly bronze and silver-streaked leaves; prefers filtered light, cool location to bring out amber tones; modest white winter fls. Mexican classic species--this horticultural selection seems more heat tolerant than other collections we have tested.We cannot ship this species to you during warmer parts of the year unless you realize that the foliage will most likely suffer some damage. Availability sometimes does not keep up with demand.

59422 BEGONIA SOLI-MUTATA BEG TGH TERR PRICE: $ 6.00 (rz) Very lovely low statured primadonna with very wide rich cinnamon green pebbled (cordate outline with bullate surface) leaves, reddish beneath, accented with pale lime veins.

11501 BLECHNUM BRAZILIENSE POLYPOD TGH CGH PRICE: $ 9.50 "Miniature Copper Treefern" Heavily textured rosette of leathery bronzed fronds, deep wavy lobes overlapping, top the woody scally trunk. Gives a Jurassic tone to a large terrarium--has the character and outline of a treefern, but is of easier culture and remains of modest size so as to not immediately outgrow your large terrarium. We may send an alternate Blechnum species with a very similar look if we are low on these.

41009 CALVOA SESSILIFLORA MEL TERR TGH R PRICE: $ 6.25 Choice Congo shrublet with pairs of shiny, haired lime green flowers on forked cymes; of easy culture as a pot plant, yet demure enough to enhance any Wardian case grouping: the blooms and cute tripart seed capsules quickly reveal its kinship to its big boned Tibouchina cousins.

10102 CAMPYLONEURON ANGUSTIFOLIUM ENSIFOLIUM POLYP CGH HP PRICE: $ 35.00 "String Fern" Resembles the difficult shoestring fern (Vittaria), but this is much easier culture.

11446 CAMPYLONEURON PHYLLITIDIS CRISTATUM POLYP CGH HP PRICE: $ 35.00 "Crested American Strap Fern" Slowly creeping rootstock anchors papery-textured erect fronds of bright green topped with elaborate tasselling; striking clone from collector Jack Craig. Very good choice for a crested footed fern as growing culture is easier than for various of the Microsorium "Elkhorn" tribe--and remains more modest in habit as well as maintaining a much deeper green saturation.

40137 CLUSEA GUTTIFERA GUT HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Excellent dwarf cousin of the "Autograph Tree": freely-branched candelabra stems studded w/ apple green 4" long triangular leaves with waxy gloss. Handsome as bonsai; recently discovered by designers of wardian cases; excellent houseplant tolerating low humidity.

49469 COLEUS HYBRIDUS CRIMINAL BARBIE LAB TGH PRICE: $ 5.75 So very weird Gothik in appearence: a very naughty Coleus with narrow puckered leaves of jade green with maroon licorice and coppery lime highlights along the slim scaber leaves with tortured cut edges. Excellent for the miniature garden as remains petite while radiating serious attitude. We cannot tell whether this recent Frieling hybrid is popular for its name or for its quite distinct appearance.

55536 COLEUS HYBRIDUS THUMBELINA LAB CGH PRICE: $ 5.50 Very petite: tinsy pea green rounded, puckered lf segments with touches of chocolate purple. Just too too cute . . . most popular with lite gardeners.

52070 CRYPTANTHUS BLACK MYSTIC [HYB] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Wide starry rosette of undulating chocolate-purple cardboard leaves (of zonatus blood) with dramatic platinum bars. Showy large hybrid for wardian case.

53362 CRYPTANTHUS BROMELIOIDES [HORT] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $12.00 Bright glossy bronze sheened upright rosettes of elegantly arched leathery fleshy leaves mimic a dwarfed pineapple. Readily offsets to form an impressive large hemisphere as matures. This clone not the spiny Brazilian type.

53336 CRYPTANTHUS HYBRIDUS ELAINE BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 A larger grower than some hybrids. This magnificent plant has almost irridescent coloration on the newer dusky toned richly chevroned leaves, each leathery dramatic leaf margined in dusky pink tones. Always a bold subject in the design of a wardian case; always an especially rich color experience when grown under lights which encourages vividly contrasted zoning.

52093 CRYPTBERGIA MEADII [HYB] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $4.25 Erect rosette with coppery leathery leaves mottled, gray-green reverse; greenish flowers. An antique hybrid of Cryptanthus beuckeri x Billbergia nutans. An heirloom bromel still sought after for its modest size, good habit and quite unusual colorations. Easy very attractive houseplant tolerating less than perfect levels of humidity; yet of modest enought habit to decorate a wardian case scheme.

52092 CRYPTBERGIA RUBRA [HYB] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 Beautiful pot plant of dark maroon-red laquered curved leaves tightly overlapping to form low statured fountains of moderate size, backed with silver tones. Hybrid of Cryptanthus bahianus x Bilbergia nutans. Recommended. Low growing heirloom bromel always reliable as an easily grown houseplant or large terrarium subject. A great plant choice to jump start your investigation of the Bromeliad tribe.

11620 DICKSONIA ANTARTICA DIC CGH $10.00 The majestic "Tasmanian Treefern" needs cool (subtropic) very humid conditions to form its canopy of impressive outreaching deep green heavily textured fronds, with their network of straw toned veins, crowning the fibrous, wooly trunk. Avoid excessive heat during the winter. Availability irregular--best inquire before ordering.

40198 DORITIS PUCHERRIMA ORC HP PRICE: $ 22.00 "Amethyst Orchid" (formerly Phalaenopsis pucherrima) From purplish wide leathery strap leaves arch slender stems bearing completely charming amethyst blossoms much more 3-D than "Moth Orchid" hybrids. .This plant will cluster well and grows nicely as a standard house plant. Flowers are smaller and more complex than those of the standard Phalaenopsis. Best grown in a barky orchid mix. Always popular with our large wardian case designers as reliably keeps a much smaller habit than its kin..

40203 DORSTENIA CONTRAJERVA AMPLIFOLIA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Wart Flower" Wider, shallower hypanthodium lobing than the species form with the typical leaf also less lobed; the thick tuberculed succulent stem is unsegmented. Easy culture. Probably the species known as "Drake's Foot" used as a cure for snakebite in Central & South America, thus also known as "Tortus Herb." Dramatic in a large terrarium, yet quite easily grown on any windowsill--if it (for mysterious reasons) remains unwatered for some extended period of time and drops its leaves, just begin watering again and a new set will soon appear as the pseudo-caudex trunk retains life for a good stretch of time (and remember to keep the dried leaves for your snakebite medical kit). Can you afford not to have this houseplant?

41029 ELATOSTEMA SESSILE WEEPING LADY URT HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Weeping Pilea" Slightly quilted toothed leaves of deep shiny green clusters on arched "weeping" fleshy succulent stems; this selection darker and more compact than species type. Adds height in a Wardian Case design.

33115 EPIPREMNUM [SCINDAPSIS] AUREUM VARIEGATUM (NJOY) ARAC PRICE: $ 6.75 "NJoy Pothos" Ivory striped and green leaves, sometimes edjed green. Also "Devil's Ivy" or "Hunter's Robe" and "Ceylon Ivy Creeper" although form the Solomon Islands. Survives low light and low humidity. This is an interesting new form.

40246 EQUISETUM DIFFUSUM EQU HP CGH AQ PRICE: $ 12.00 "Tropical Horsetail" Soft gray green central stems form a tiny bamboo-like thicket: each central stem, with delicately nodding tip, is ringed with skirts of lateral stemlets to create intricate patterns; marvelous pot plant. Quite popular as a citizen of Wardian Cases.

54387 FICUS BENJAMINA TOO LITTLE MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 The perfect miniature fig for indoor bonsai: thickly foliaged with tiny recurved glossy leaflets on twiggy branchlets. A great find by Jim Atchison, from whom this clone derives. Possibly the best place to start for an indoor bonsai experience if you anticipate needing some immediate positive stroking as a master of tropical bonsai--especially as the swollen roots help this survive a minor lapse in your watering schedule!

41260 FICUS FRED BOUTIN MOR HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Unique woody, twiggy low growing "character" trunks give this quirky hybrid of F. carica x pumila high marks with cascade bonsai trainers who also value its richly haired, quilted foliage. this selfbranching jewel needs high humidity like its carica parent to maintain good spidermite free foliage; loves a pole or wall to clamber like its pumila parent. Of most interest to collectors as the Moraceae are notoriously difficult to hybridize as the blossoms face the center of the enclosed protofruit available only to the designated wasp species.. Not only prized by moss topiary designers but also now discovered by Wardian Case designers looking for a taller fig which will remain small featured.

40300 FICUS SAGITATA VARIEGATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Trailing Fig" dark quilted long leaves over wiry often creeping stems which arch to give an open effect. This is the beautiful variegated or marginated form of this old favorite. Not as clingy as the Ficus pumila types, but makes quite a nice ground cover in pots around larger plants. Also if often used as a wardian case groundcover and perfect in mossed topiary use as the stems root into the moss.

40301 FICUS SALICARIA (SALICIFOLIA) MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 9.50 "Willow Leaf Fig" Masses of narrow leaves (thus also called F. neriifolia as well as F. salicifolia) on upright dwarf multi-trunked trees; perfect bonsai. Roots are said to be chewed as a sterility cure in Zimbabwe! We make no guarantee on curative powers, but believe it an excellent container subject. Newly published under the name of Ficus Salicaria for which information we thank Derek Burch. Whatever its name, this shrubby freely branching beauty is at home in any bonsai pot; however, released into a larger pot or given free root run, this soon achieves wide handsome proportions at which point the beauty of the older bark becomes apparent.

58329 FITTONIA VERSCHAFFELTII FORTISSIMO ACA HP TERR PRICE: $ 6.75 If you wanted a "Nerve Plant" bigger and more robust that could be grown anywhere, this is your choice. Not as colorfully bright as the other cultivars, but still a fine addition. Can be used to advantage in the Wardian Case..

58360 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII SILVER ANNE ACAN TERR TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 A cultivar of "White Nerve Plants" with unusually bright white veins in a startling network on strong papery leaves. Best in a Wardian Case as may be too vigorus for a small terrarium.

41161 HEDERA HELIX CONGLOMERATA ARAL HP HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Undulating leathery, blackish green leaves clasp stiff, often contorted, upright stems; forms semi-erect bush with time.

41212 HEDERA HELIX FILIGRAN ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 "Filigree Ivy" Outrageously fluted, lobed foliage of dark glossy green--remarkable appearance.

42115 HEDERA HELIX LITTLE DIAMOND ARAL CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.25 Small-statured 'Kleiner Diamant' with diamond shaped gray splashed leaves with delicate white border. Very shrubby; a conversation piece small enough for the sophisticated wardian case.

51058 HIPPEASTRUM RETICULATRUM STRIATIFOLIUM AMAR HP $ 17.50 The compact stunning "Striped Amaryllis" of Brazil. Mauve-pink flowers overshadowed by wide but short deep green strap leaves with brilliant white midrib. This is a slow to increase dwarf maintaining (quite unlike its robest kin) a small enough "footprint' to make it an excellent subject for wardian case designers. Certainly one of the most sought after of all bulbs.

40364 HOFFMANIA FANTASIA [HYB] RUB HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Hybrid with shimmering quilted leaves of green copper-satin. Handsome wide leaved hybrid of ghiesbrecktii x refulgens. Wonderful in the larger Wardian Case.

40384 IMPATIENS REPENS BAL CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.50 "Ceylon Jewelweed" Cascading thick red succulent stems (which self branch to form a mat) populated by masses of tiny coppery kidney shaped leaves dramatically punctuated by occassional impressive cornucopia shaped yellow hooded blossoms. Always popular with indoor litegardeners and with hobby greenhousers as a wonderful color and texture addition to any plant grouping; recently discovered by large wardian case designers (the cases, not the designers are large) to be a amusingly bizarre groundcover.

11430 LEPISORUS BICOLOR POLYPO CGH PRICE: $ 7.25 Resembles a sophisticated Pyrrosia with very slim surface rhizomes; strap fronds with indented polka-dot spore patches distinguish this "Sechuan Ribbon Fern" which Eco-Gardens considers Zone 8 hardy. Quite beautiful and distinct in pot or basket--even though its initial slow deliberate growth rate may test your patience. Grown in Camellia house conditions this creeping fern becomes fantastic, whether as a ground cover, a moss topiary addition, or as a exclamation point in a design for the wardian case.

11476 MARANTA LEUCONEURA MASSANGEANA MAR HP PRICE: $ 5.50 Bluish-green leaves, with feathery centerband of silver in thin stripes of pink, later silver, extending out toward the margin, after passing zone of reddish brown fading to rich umber hues; dramatic purple blushed red underleaf. Wide enough girth to be successful only in the larger wardian case designs.

30282 MONSTERA KARSTENIANA ARAC TGH TERR PRICE: $ 25.00 Roughtly blistered, uneven leaves dramatically corrugated & so glossy as to earn the name "Plastic Vine" with each puckered leaf held by wide winged petioles so close as to form a shingled effect. A giant M. siltepecana.

30288 MONSTERA SILVER LEAF [SPECIES] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.75 Similarly shaped, but smaller statured leaves than M. pittierii, but seldom forms windows until mature.The leaf surface is entirely blushed with lovely ash-silver. Availability of this can be irregular; please inquire before ordering--for sometimes is ordered in considerable numbers for moss topiary projects or for terrarium groundcover--seriously depleting our stock..

40654 MYRSINE AFRICANA VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 "African Boxwood" or "Cape Myrtle" Thick-leaved pseudo-bonsai, tiny leathery coin shaped leaves held tight on somewhat fastigate woody stems. We recommend this for use as a "pseudo-tree" in your larger terrarium design because of its upright compact growth and slowness to enlarge.

20477 NEMATANTHUS YELLOW MAROON #82-123 GES TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 Stout upright stems, toned red, hold elongated heart leaves with felted surface and red-veined reverse. Attractive inflorescence with blossoms: and the colors would be? This is far more vigorous and strapling than the others.

52132 NEOREGELIA AMPULACEA ZEBRINA [HORT] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 Very showy compact epiphyte, forming colonies of leathery urn-shaped plants joined by tinker-toy stolons; each narrow urn's dark olive leathery leaves dramatically banded maroon.

53359 NEOREGELIA SCHULTSIANA CREAM FIREBALL BRO HP TG PRICE: $10.00 The fabulous carmine red compact urns of the species form, brilliantly accented with broad ivory cream margins. Needs bright light and good humidity to best form its colony of pert rosettes. Very beautiful; a fantastic visual effect remarkable for the ease of culture in achieving it. Absolutely fantastic eyecatcher in the larger wardian case design.

11653 NEPHROLEPIS EXALTATA POM PON POLYP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 'Pom Pon' could easily be called "The Cheerleaders' Fern"--but of course we will not stoop to such sorry humor! This is such a well behaved small statured Nephrolepis noted for each pinnae being quite rounded in outline that both growers and the public take to it instantly. The color is very consistenly a bright green and seems quite pest resistant. It forms a very tight and rounded and full ball in a hanging basket. Of late we note that it is becoming a favorite of those designing wardian case compositions looking for an alternative small statured fern choice instead of the far stiffer, more vertical cordifolia 'Duffii' and 'Buttons.'

11586 NEPHROLEPIS EXALTATA SUZI WONG POLYPOD GH PRICE: $ 7.50 Dwarf lacy selection--unlike most extremely delicate types, if adaquate moving air is available, the fronds do not discolor & brown easily, even though layer after layer of froth develops on each frond. Avoid excessive humidity; best with good air movement--thus even though it has the perfect appearance for your Wardian case, Suzi may not be the best choice for her lower skirts may get a bit messy if the humidity level is extreme that is, if your case is kept excessively humid.!

40678 OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS ARITAKI LIL HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Silver Mist Lilyturf" with short narrow strap leaves richly lined in cream-white, pink tinted in high light. Rare because is slow to offset; considered at least Z7 hardy. Evidentally same as `Folius Albo-striatus.'

52257 ORTHOTANTHUS VAGANS ALBOMARGINATA BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Erect compact columns of ornately recurved toothed leaves brightly striped creamy-yellow. Very beautiful pot subject.

52058 ORTHOTANTHUS WHAT BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.75 Beautiful "Copper Swirls" hybrid: small clumping arched rosettes of many softly toothed overlapping rosy bronze leaves. A bromeliad small enough to be a good terrarium subject. This is an intergeneric hybrid not often found in collections.

58424 PAPHIOPEDILUM MAUDIAE GROUP BIG CGH PRICE: $ 32.50 One of the most beautiful of all of the "Lady Slipper" orchids. This plant has great spotted foliage and wonderful flowers with a range of colors. We have several color forms, all with the great spotted foliage types. Take a look at the photos. Since Phalaenopsis seem to be at every store now with imports coming in the the thousands, we are offering various Orchids that are not likely to appear in your local block store.

10702 PELLAEA ROTUNDIFOLIA POLYPOD TERR HP PRICE: $ 5.50 "Button Fern" Dime-sized round dark green leaflets on wiry stems--perfect for the tall terrarium as long as the soil is sweet (a lime lover); much darker green and larger statured than Nephrolepis 'Duffii' the other "Button Fern."

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.

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. 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.

53655 PEPEROMIA SILVER BANDIT [SPECIES UNIDENTIFIED] PRICE: $ 5.00 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 as the highlight in your wardian case..

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! Please allow some time when ordering this plant, as we propagate it per order--but usually available because every wardian case design demands this.

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.

33119 PHILODENDRON ZENA (XANADU DWARF FORM)> 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. This is a very compact form that would even work in larger terrariums and wardian cases.

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. We are finally once again offering the crested form below.

56236 POGONATHERUM CRINITUM GRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 "German Bamboo" A lovely grass of great delicacy with fast clumping erect Bamboo-like stalks reaching a foot height; these branched stalks are clothed with sea-green slim leaf blades. Fabulous when displayed as a bonsai; customers in the subtropics inform us this is a most successful thickly clumped vertical vase perfectly accenting any border design. This "Bamboo Grass" is (now listed in Poaceae) an excellent choice for a wardian case design needing a "bamboo clump" for that final impact.

11152 POLYSTICHUM TSUS-SIMENSE POL CGH HH HT PRICE: $ 6.50 "Painted Rock Fern" Miniature deep green fern; perfect for cool terrarium, while hardy enough for the protected woodland or sheltered trough.

Brazilian species best grown in lite garden or Wardian case culture--never allow to go totally dormant as with the typical tuberous species, or will enter that dread territory known as terminal dormancy. But in your large wardian case this will never become an issue!

30497 SYNGONIUM PODOPHYLLUM SHELL SHOCKED ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Rich green upcurved leaves with pale colored centers form a forest of attractive cups like a set in Avatar. As the cultivar name suggests, this is a Yinger introduction of upright habit, not a vine as yet.
