Grafting stock

Hi all, Having been inspired by a recent demonstration, I'd like to experiment a bit with grafting. However the places I would think to grab some cheapo plants to use as stock (Wilko, IKEA) have had nothing in stock locally (near Sheffield). Nearby garden centres charge more than I'm willing to pay ...

Re: 2022 seed list

Thanks to the seed team for their hard work as always, and to Paul for getting the list online. I haven't seen my postie for a while now, no CactusWorld today! The next hurdle is, as a 30-something, owning neither a printer nor a chequebook... But thankfully one PDF editor and a pleading message to ...

Re: What I was planning to take to the National

Apologies to hijack the thread somewhat, I don't know enough about Aeonium to give any meaningful feedback on that front. Perhaps this is a silly suggestion but maybe a "people's choice" award could be a consideration for the future? Low-tech version, a small container with each plant, eve...

Re: National show seller help

I feel like I may have seen someone else ask in another thread - but is there a floor plan available of the sellers? I was so excited with my purchases that I completely forgot to ask for vendor names and I'm realising my mistake now I'm updating my database! I think I bought a plant from most of th...

Unfortunately I won't make the next one (going to a festival) but I'd be happy to give you a lift to and from future meetings if my car is suitable - pop me a...
