Description: PREDAVORE PLANTS EXCLUSIVE AVAILABLE PLANTS ARE MATURE AND FLOWERING SIZE (6-8 inches) SCIENTIFIC NAME: Catopsis SubulataCOMMON NAME: Bromeliad. Tillandsia. Air plant. PLACE OF ORIGIN: Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. GENERAL INFO: Catopsis Subulata grows mostly epiphytically from trees within pine-oak forests in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. This species forms tightly restricted, labyrinthian leaf rosettes, which with the help of smooth, waxy surfaces effectively capture insects in the water below. Can be grown potted, in which the species can get quite large or epiphytically attached to vertical surfaces or hanging pots. Treat much like other bromeliads and air plants, keeping water accumulated in the rosette openings and minding humidity airflow and light based on your conditions. WATER: Can be treated like a true air plant, but if using soil only allow it to become slightly damp. Lightly mist the leaves to maintain humidity and ensure at least some water is maintained in the leaf water-wells. This species forms tight leaf structures that hold water easily and aids in catching and absorbing prey. SOIL: We use Orchid fir-bark and sphagnum moss (70/30) in our potted specimen, but Catopsis can mounted as true air-plantswithout any medium. (Specimen will grow much larger if planted in pots with soil)CONTAINERS: Hanging, self water pot and basket provided. (Air plants can rot if overwatered so avoid using g the self water feature of these pots. Can be mounted vertically, tied to branches or climbing trellises. LIGHT: Flexible to light conditions. Will take on tighter leaf structure with more colorful forms under intense light and longer, curly green leaves in low light. FERTILIZATION: We recommend using MAXSEA brand fertilizer for all carnivorous plants, as these sensitive plants respond best to this formulation. The plants will naturally catch pests, and these can be ‘fed’ to the plant by simply dropping them into the water wells. Fertilize once every 2 weeks in spring and summer, and once a month in winter. Never let fertilizer touch flowers! SEE OUR WEBSITE PREDAVOREPLANTS.COM FOR FULL STOCK OF CARNIVOROUS PLANTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD!
