How to buy ?
Hi all
I have been searching for stock for a proposed section of our garden for 2014. A lot of the tropical plants seem to have huge growth rates So what is the best way to buy or does it vary between plant / species
Options;
Seed
Plug plants
Small plants
Big as can be purchased / afforded

Re: Poorly plants
Hi Kata
It was bought from a local market garden centre. When we were advised to remove the fronds & it appeared to die we bought a replacement from the same place & this is fine
Also bought a baby from fleabay so starting to build a collection
