Guys ? Anyone? Amorphophallus konjac!


Is it normal for plantswap to be dead ?

I would like to try to liven things up - I will offer an Amorphophallus konjac bulb - it is currently growing, and the one you will receive is anywhere between 2 inches to 2 feet in height. Feel free to request a specific height. They are probably 2 years from flowering. They put out this awesome, GIANT single leaf on a tall stalk - they're really amazing plants.

I'm looking for something equally rare in trade. Here are some ideas:
Clivia (seeds would be fine too)
White Bird of Paradise
Other types of Bird of Paradise - Strelitzia, not orange/blue.
Named Agaves - I have quite a few already, so try me.
Named Hostas - I have about 160 types, looking to expand my varieties.
Plumerias

* No cuttings, except for Plumeria *
* No small starter plants or seedlings, except if it's rare *

Let's put some life into this place!

hey there

I am interested in your Amorphophallus bulb. I've had them before sitting in a bowl dry in the garage and one secretly started blooming. It took my husband 3 days to find the "dead body" and he tossed it.

I have a couple of pink plumeria cutting, a sago palm bulb (3-4") w/new leafes, a kona coffee plant, adenium/desert rose babies (and seeds) and some rare miracle fruit Synsepalum dulcificum seeds in the fall (special trade only) that I could trade you for...PM me if interested

Thanks!

Hey there!


A dead body - ha ha ha! He tossed it? What a shame!!! I bet you let him have it for that one! How big / how old was it, when it bloomed?
I would be interested in your Plumeria cuttings. Feel free to PM me and let me know what you can spare.
Thanks! Jude

Hello,


I just rooted some mixed Plumeria cuttings (Around a foot in length) recently for the first time, and that was FUN!!! So, I'm not picky regarding size - I'd just like to play around with them some more, so I'm not choosy regarding size.
Thanks, Jude
