Red Firespike – Odontonema strictum
I took this photo last weekend in the Mexican Jungle pavillion at Disney’s Epcot World Showcase – it handles cold temperatures well. It’s a tough plant, a great bloomer and butterflies love it.
The shop is fully packed with amazing Philodendrons- plenty of unusual terrestrial and climbing specimens. Here are two massive Philodendron giganteums- they get giant round shiny leaves. Ideal location is in shade/under tree canopy. They also make excellent indoor houseplants.
The Cordyline (Hawaiian Ti Plant) selection is looking really good- the fall weather intensifies their color. Many varieties in stock including the new “white babydoll” compact Ti shown in front.
This is a cool variegated variety of Alocasia ‘California’ it is a smaller sized Alocasia- the leaf gets up to about 2 feet. The variegation is pure white and it makes plenty of babies.
Here is a new & rare aroid- Philodendron asperatum. It is a climber from the jungles of Central America and has a fuzzy textured petiole. It is a tough plant and produces a beatiful rippled leaf.

This is a rare and awesome Costus Ginger – Costus ‘Chiapus’
It is from Chiapus, Mexico and has red undersides to the leaves and produces a 6-8″ tall red cone bloom on the end of its stalks. It gets to about 4 or 5 feet tall and makes a nice clump.
