Seed-Grown: This plant was grown from seed in our Arch Rock Aloes nursery.
Rare: This plant is very hard to find anywhere else. We specialize in rare plants, and are the only growers of some species.
A striking terrestrial bromeliad prized for its bold, architectural form and exceptional flowering display. Dyckia platyphylla produces broad, heavily armed foliage and vivid bright orange flowers when in bloom.
Grown from seed in our Ventura, California nursery, each plant develops its own individual characteristics and form. This species is also a prolific offsetter, gradually producing new growth around the base and developing into an increasingly impressive specimen over time.
Unlike many drought-adapted plants, Dyckia platyphylla appreciates regular moisture during active growth and can handle more water than its spiny, xeric appearance might suggest. A well-draining soil mix and regular watering will support healthy growth and offset production.
An exceptional choice for bromeliad collectors and growers looking for something architectural, unusual, and rewarding.
