Flask Information |
Availability: |
The seeds have germinated in the mother flasks. |
You should: |
Reserve flasks right now. Please only reserve if you are committing to purchase the flasks when they are ready later.
We only make flasks for people who request them, so you must make a reservation for us to do the work. If you don't reserve now, there will likely not be enough flasks made to cover your later need. If you wait to reserve until after we begin reflasking into final maturing flasks, then you will lose your place in line. Otherwise, your original notification request acts as your place-holder, keeping you earlier in line. |
Yield Estimate: |
350 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/11/2023 through 10/06/2023)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 5 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/06/2023 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 3 - 5 mm (10/06/2023)
|
Expected Flask Price: |
$40.00 per flask of 16 (min.) plants
Plants proliferate if crowded, so are planted more sparsely than usual.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. Plants grow near Rio de Janeiro on almost
vertical, east-facing rock cliffs at 700–2600 ft. (200–800 m). They are
exposed to strong winds and almost full sun, but the roots are buried in
cracks in the rock face which protects them from bright light and
excessive drying. The cracks contain rock chips but very little vegetable
matter. Plants sometimes grow in the tops of trees where they are exposed
to maximum sunlight and strong air movement.
