A Dyckia encholirioides on the left thriving as a bog plant



Dyckias are amazing plants. They love humidity but not too much and anything can be much and too much but... We have some reophitic species that can stay submerged for days in a roll. Dyckia brevifolias does that frequently during the Itajaí River floods.
Dyckia encholirioides live close to the sea. I say it can´t resist living without listening to the sea waves. A bluish species lives in a blog in between two peak mountains here Southeast in Paraná State. This green beauty you see here is an ecncholirioide/brevifolia hybrid and since it sprouted from its seeds it lived as a bog plant in my livebearer fish tank. It grew as a stray seedling amid the Sarracenias, a notorious bog plant.
