Variegated bananas are on the way to the shop

Canarius | Thursday April 4th, 2013 |

Striped Bananas and Extra Dwarf Bananas ! They all produce edible fruits and make great eccentric ornamental plants.

On April 8th we will finally check in the stock of variegated bananas for Spring 2013. We will know the exact varieties of  banana trees that will be available for the shop. These plants will be offered for sale by the end of April, which is by far the best time of the year to start a banana tree in a non-tropical climate.

We are waiting for different types of Cavendish banana trees with variegated leaves and also extra dwarf types of banana trees.

These plants are raised in-vitro here in the Canary Islands. They correspond to the best commercial cultivars of edible bananas, such as Dwarf Cavendish, Cavendish Brier, Cavendish Grand Naine and others. At times we could get also Orinoco/Bluggoe/Topocho or Dwarf Red Banana Trees.

Hardy Bromeliads for Outdoor Conditions

Canarius | Tuesday October 19th, 2010 |

Bromeliads, or Bromeliaceae, are highly appreciated plants because of their incredible colours and inflorescences, and their ease of growth in pots.

  • Garden Centers througout the world sell floppy-leaved hybrids with green leaves.
  • Canarius on the internet offers tough-leaved species with colourful leaves, grown in the Canary Islands.

Floppy leaved, green bromeliads

  • Taxonomy: These plants often belong to the genera Guzmania and Vriesea
  • Conditions: They come from humid forest environments. They grow well in low light, sheltered conditions. They are sensitive to wind, drought, sunlight and temperature shocks. They are good for the terrarium.
  • Where: in the greenhouse, terrarium, sheltered patio.

Tough-leaved, colourful bromeliads

  • Taxonomy: Most of them belong to the genera Aechmea, Billbergia and Neoregelia.
  • Conditions: They grow well in non-tropical climates. They like temperature changes and can better stand outdoors conditions in general. They seldom burn in the hottest sun, they stand wind very well. Many of the tough-leaved Bromeliaceae are resistant to occasional frosts, without any damage. They will always tolerate drought for days or even weeks. Most of our species will thrive outdoors in mediterranean climates, with minimal protection.
  • Where: In the garden, sunny patio, balcony or terrace, being Subtropical and Mediterranean to Warm Temperate. They can be kept in your home during the colder months.

Aechmea lueddemanniana is a stiff-leaved bromeliaceae with long lasting flowes and fruits.
