Plant/seed transportation services can be very useful for avoiding long delays or theft by customs or incompetence at the post office, especially when sending internationally. For places without a postal service, such private services are essential. (As an example, Jim West, the world-renowned fruit collector, uses the services of a Colombian woman living in Ecuador in order to get seeds in and out of Ecuador using the Colombian postal service.)

Related services, such as obtaining seeds from reliable sources (e.g. botanical gardens) and sending them with phytosanitary certification, also belong here.

If you offer such services, you can post about yourself here and provide some evidence that you are legitimate, such as a scan/photo of an invoice with your client's personal information redacted.

Please do not post reviews directly in this thread. Use the Review Thread for that.

Hi all,

If you have any good advice about propagating/grafting/splitting/etc. and shipping plants and links to relevant resources, please post them here!

Cheers! 🌻

Hi all,

Please post and update generally static trade lists here in order to keep the community organised. Make sure to include relevant information, including country/region to the post. :)

Cheers!

Hello lovely people, please post your user reviews here instead of making a separate post to keep the community fairly organised.

I love the new community!

I created a website to swap plants, however it currently only works in Switzerland really (due to zipcode locaiton lookup). But I would like to extend it to more countries, at least in Europe. Feel free to have a look at https://pflaenz.li/ and test/use it for yourself!

It is open source and you can contribute and look at the code on https://git.thisfro.ch/pflaenz.li/pflaenz.li

Also any feedback is very welcome! <3

Hi all,

I realize I haven't sorted this community yet, but I am cutting back my Monsteras this weekend and have a bunch of nodes (some with leaves) to give away. Happy to trade or send out to those who are just starting (with some goodies) for shipping and handling.

Peace.

Sneak Peak (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by recursive_recursion@programming.dev to c/plantswap@mander.xyz
 
 

As the first post here's a sneak peak to one of the plants that I could potentially swap:

  • Common name: Pitcher Plant
  • Genus: Sarracenia
  • Species: Sarracenia purpurea (my best guess)

The biggest ones are currently about the size of a 50ml travel-size hand lotion

  • honestly I'm surprised they even got this big cause of the climate I'm in :D
  • posting from Canada🇨🇦 btw!
