nice looking plants but very mean when they get big..mine ripped the neighbors arm the other day

Stephania, do they need cooler temps?

Puya seem to do very well in our climate, espec mirabilis which grow like weeds! But some of the choice sp are slower, and therefore only seen in a few collections. I'm hunting for Puya venusta, and if anyone knows where I can source some seed, please email me.

BTW, I did hear that some of the 'silver' puya will produce green plants when grown from seed. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I see HDD, but their bloomings must be so striking.

Yep..Mike, my friend from Chile used to send me the Puya's habitat pic
with snow peak on the blackground !

Devo, I knew a cactus seed dealer in Chile, he had sent me some native Puya pics.
As, P.venusta is native to the place, I think you should try to contact him.
