Hechtia caerulea

Y00-90 Hechtia caerulea

Zone 10 Native to Mexico Grows to 6"h x 12"w

Blue bromes! This terrestrial bromeliad is unique in two ways. Unlike most Hechtias it is spineless with soft flexible leaves covered in white wool and it has lavender-blue flowers. All other hectias we have grown have white flowers. Hechtias are the premier pot plant for they can take incredible sun, heat and drought.

Hechtia lundelliorum

T64-57 Hechtia lundelliorum

Zone 8b to 10 Native to Mexico Grows to 3'h x 3'w

Smooth flowing foliage! These bizarre epiphytes grow out of small crevices on sheer stone cliffs. The 3' long narrow spineless bright-green foliage cascades; at a distance resembling a frozen waterfall. Most effective when mounted on a stone wall, or cascading out of pots or baskets hanging along a porch, it is a sight to behold! Complete cold-hardiness unknown but in San Antonio, TX growing beneath live oaks several plants have survived temperatures in the mid-twenties, undamaged, for two years in a row. (Previously listed as Hechtia tillandsioides.)

Hechtia sp. Zapolote Canyon

Y07-80 Hechtia sp. Zapolote Canyon - Sold Out!

Zone 9 to 10 Native to Mexico Grows to 10"h x 20"w

Grey spider hectia! This is a small, mostly solitary Hechtia with 8" to 10" long leaves that are 1/2" to 1/3" wide at the base and taper gradually to thin, wispy points. The leaves tend to curl under the plant, giving it a spidery appearance. The leaves are a medium green but are covered with tiny grey scales that protect the plant from the intense sunlight and dry air of its desert environment. The margins of the leaves have small, stout, thorns that, though not visibly prominent, still demand respect.

Plant Notes

The protective scales that cover the leaf surface can be washed off under heavy irrigation. Avoid excessive overhead irrigation and keep in a bright sunlit area. The image shown represents a plant with winter leaf coloration, when the plant is kept dry and cool.
