Friendly disclosure: We are always expanding on our multiple size offering.

We are working hard to illustrate all of our size variations offering with photos. When you are considering a product size variation that doesn't have photos, please reach out to our team as we will be happy to illustrate the size of the offering before you place your order. Please do not make assumptions on product size offering. Thank you so much for your understandings and considerations. We are here to help with any questions you may have. Thank you! Happy gardening!
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of having proper winter protection at all time especially during winter season like this. If your local night temperature falls below 45F you will need to protect your plant(s) with heat pack. And they can be purchased here -> https://www.etsy.com/listing/781551923/uniheat-72-or-96-hour-heatpack-for
Heatpack will work properly only when the package is properly insulated. When you purchase a heatpack we will will ship your plant in a fully insulated foam box for proper temperature retention as generated by the heatpack. For large items such as upright cactus 2 - 3 heatpack may be needed. When your region is under severe winter weather below freezing, we will hold off and delay the shipping to a more appropriate weather and reschedule your shipment. We will not be able to cover your purchase due to death on arrival (DOA) due to cold in absence of proper winter protection as that have occurred in the past. We thank you for your understanding.
Guzmania "Georgia" has only recently been returned to stable production in the floral industry. Actually the demand for "Georgia" is so high, for full 3 years the grower were unable to produce enough to meet demand. Only high end hotels and exotic theme parks were able to get stock and it is virtually inaccessible to consumer and even hobbyist market.
Fortunately, production maturity have allow us to carry "Georgia" from time to time and even then, it is not available all the time. "Georgia" Guzmania is acclaimed for its highly valuable and attractive variegated foliage. Guamania live well inside the household, it last for a good long time. And even after it finished blooming the variegated foliage will continues to look stellar. It is certainly a top notch bromeliad not to me missed.
Foliage has creamy color center with forest green bands running along both side of the leave. With occasional thin straight line running thru the middle creamy portion of the leave.
CURRENT SIZE:
Flowering - 6" Pot, 24" tall when in bloom, 24" wide, premium quality

WATERING:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/840854397/special-order-request
Based on our shipping and handling experiences, if you like to improve the overall delivery quality of your plant investments, we would recommend you considering upgrading to UPS which seems to be our preferred method of delivery.
UPS are reliable for the most part but they no longer offer full guarantee time of arrival based on services employed. In our experience, nearly all of our package arrival on time with exception of severe snowstorm or unusual circumstances. We are happy with the UPS service offering.
We have a variety of UPS service upgrade available:
1. UPS Ground Upgrade – typically deliver anywhere in US between 2 to 5 business days. They do not ship over weekend - +$5
2. UPS 3 days Upgrade – 3 business days arrival - +$10
3. UPS 2 days Upgrade – 2 business days arrival - +$20
4. UPS Express Upgrade – Next Day Arrival - +$38
In our opinion, this upgrade option is very good to protect your valuable plant investment. For ultra rare specimen, we highly recommend it as that would create the least amount of stress for the plant. Those who utilize it truly enjoy the timeliness of our services and were thrilled to find their plants arriving in stellar conditions.
Do consider upgrade when your region is projected to have extreme cold or extreme hot weather. We try to avoid all our shipment to spend its weekend at the delivery facility at all time.
