Re: Sansevieria ID

The first one is possibly S. hyacinthoides. The second is too dry and shrivelled to be able to tell and the third, as Stuart says, is S. masoniana.

Re: Which brand of John Innes?

This is the best one I’ve found in recent times. I think they’re based in Cheshire.

He just needs a few sentences and two or three photos, and in fact I see write-ups on here occasionally which would easily qualify for Plant of the month. It need not be very time consuming at all and you can even use photos that you h...

IAS seedlist number

I hope someone can tell me what IAS (Asclepiad Society) seed list number 3230 is. I've checked on their website and numbers only go up to 2982 (2015).

Many thanks.
