This plant, in our opinion, is the finest form of Nidularium available. A large-grower with many leaves in a full, symmetrical, open rosette. The foliage is light green with a broad band of white up the center of each leaf. This beautiful form was found growing wild in Bahia, Brazil. It reaches very large proportions if given a larger pot and good growing conditions. A spectacular addition to any bromeliad collection.

Useful for many epiphytic plants and essential for Vanda culture. These sturdy, well made baskets are manufactured in Central America from Cedrela odorata, or Tropical Cedar, which has a cedar fragrance and looks like mahogany.

The source of this wood for baskets is mostly as a byproduct of furniture manufacturing, it is long lasting, non toxic to plants and resists rot. The galvanized wires that hold the slats together are of a heavy gauge to last for years.
