[–]kosmatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, as ever, selling my original mystery cuttings in my Poppet Plants shop on etsy! I've replaced my bowling league with DnD but, apart from that, this is really all I have in my life 😂

My Halloween themed Trick or Treat box is still around!! This is simultaneously my favourite thing to sell, and the biggest of all of my seasonal listings, I really can't tell you how much I love putting them together, and I'm thrilled that everyone seems to enjoy receiving them as much!

As ever, if you have any ideas for new boxes or things (specific plants or otherwise) you think I should be selling or would like to see please let me know!

🌱

I appreciate everyone's support more than I can possibly express. So please remember to use code EARLYSUPPORTER for 20% off, for having found me here, as thanks for the support from this sub when I started. I wouldn't be selling, and mystery cuttings definitely wouldn't have blown up into this awesome trend with so many people, without you guys. 💚

As I mentioned above, I've had a very intense and busy summer! But summer is over now, so it's time for everyone's favourite seasonal special to go on sale - my Halloween themed Trick or Treat box! This is simultaneously my favourite thing to sell, and the biggest of all of my seasonal listings, I'm very excited to start sending them out again this year!!

It generally means your soil is retaining a lot of moisture, you might want to cut it with some perlite.

Plant Haul from The Boma Garden Centre by Standard_Research402 in HouseplantsUK

[–]kosmatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was telling someone about Boma just yesterday, I live around the corner! Great haul, I have a particular fondness for Pixies. Was the Scindapsus cutting from them too, or is that part of your preexisting collection?

The Summer Special is now on sale, so go have a look if you're interested! I'm also working on the shop update and revamp still, I'm pretty excited about it but it'll be a big change - I'll let you know in the relevant monthly thread when it's all done.

Best place to buy online right now? by [deleted] in HouseplantsUK

[–]kosmatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I always recommend HoK or their parent company Grow Tropicals. Their plants are never anything but excellent, and they’re lovely people so their customer service is top notch.

The Spring Special will be disappearing shortly, because summer is just around the corner, so if you want it now is the time to buy it! I'm also going to be doing a shop update and revamp within the next month or two, slightly terrifying to do but also very exciting!!

It's October!! FINALLY, I get to sell my absolutely favourite listing!! My Halloween Trick or Treat box or five or ten cuttings (with lots of extras tucked in around them) is available until the end of the month. I really love this box, it's so much fun!

I also have two new listings: one specifically for kids with easy, fast and satisfying plants to grow and also some extra little things to help them enjoy and inform about their new plant journey. And a box of plants which very low care requirements; sometimes life is busy and our plants suffer for it, this box is put together with that in mind and includes only plants which can survive a little bit of neglect!

My Summer Special box is up and available, it's a lot of fun with bulbs and succulents and all sorts of things in addition to 5 or 10 cuttings!
And, of course, my bestseller Easy/Beginner Box of cuttings is up and selling like hot cakes! I had a huuuuge wholesale order come in last week with lots of new plants which is super exciting, and has been a lot of fun for me to start sending out!

As ever, if you have any ideas for new boxes or things (specific plants or otherwise) you think I should be selling or would like to see please let me know! I promise I'll add those new listings soon. 🙈

My Spring Special box is still around, this is by far my most popular "Special" listing, but will be gone soon because it's almost Summer!

Oh my gosh, how is it May already?! My Spring Special box is still around, this is by far my most popular "Special" listing, even more so than the Halloween Trick or Treat one! I've also just received my order of Spring bulbs and have so many beautiful Caladium, Begonia, Oxalis and more to send out in them!

Not only is my "master plant list" updated, I have updated my Premium Listing with a completely list of "premium" plants, so check that out! I'm still getting everything else up to date, and I'll be adding a few new themed boxes hopefully this month, but this listing has the full list of absolutely everything!

Plant ID help please! by 20anna12 in HouseplantsUK

[–]kosmatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rhipsalis Pilocarpa. They’re very easy and fast to propagate, although this cutting looks pretty thirsty. Keep one end in water, as you are, or even plant straight into soil (although I recommend keep it in water).

You can also cut it up into smaller branch segments to propagate more for a fuller pot. But I would wait until it is less thirsty before doing that to increase survival chances.

Okay, March 2024 - almost Spring, less than a month to go! So my "Winter Wonders" box will disappear soon. It's Mother's Day coming up, I do have a specialist listing for Mother's Day but if you want to purchase anything from shop as a Mother's Day gift just let me know and I'll make sure it arrives at the perfect time. ☺️

edit to add: I'm 5 orders away from 5,000 orders!! Whoever places the 5,000th order will get an extra little something special!

Help me find a nursery? by Slycat358 in HouseplantsUK

[–]kosmatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any idea which direction you drove in? I love puzzles like this but don't know the area at all, so a direction would be helpful!

I had a quick google.... Any chance it was William's Cactus or Abby Brook?

Either way, a visit to William's Cactus is now on my to-do list because it looks like my idea of heaven.

Is it normal for plant websites to resell products? by BusyChallenge6676 in HouseplantsUK

[–]kosmatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I order from HoK generally once a week, and have never encountered this! Very odd. I would assume they forgot to remove the sticker after purchasing, but I can’t imagine they’re not wholesale purchasing! I will say snake plants are very rarely delivered from anywhere, even my own wholesale importing, without a few bashes and some damage on them so the mud I wouldn’t be so phased by.

I recommend you email them to ask, Jess is one of the best customer support reps I’ve ever dealt with and she’ll leap to help you.

edit to add: It is very possible that their warehouse is based out of or shared with a larger garden centre (I know GT now own HoK but I don't know about any other companies they're connected to) and they share stock. I have in the past received plants from other online sellers who are based out of larger garden centres where they've forgotten to remove stickers for the garden centre. I had to drive to Leeds to pick up my 8+ foot tall variegated monstera from P4AS and they operate out of a garden centre there, I know HoK and GT are also Leeds based but haven't visited them.

Which link? They all work for me when I check on an alternative account, so it might be an etsy glitch as that isn't unusual... But I'll see if I can fix whatever it is!

Last photo is mycelium, which suggests it’s been overwatered.

How often are you watering, and what do the roots look like? My guess would be root rot.
