25.01.2022 Me when I explain to someone... yeah nope... I've actually just lost my umpteenth plant
25.01.2022 Wasn't planning to list anything else this weekend but I had to pay for an unexpected tow truck for my son last night (thanks buddy) so popping up a few things today so it stings a little less #snowqueen x2 $13 each
25.01.2022 6 months! 6 ruddy months I have been trying to get this #monstera #peru to root! I had almost given up as it's leaf is starting to fail but then the other day I noticed something... I couldn't pick it up clear enough on camera to share but look!!! Never give up on that special plant... some things truly do just need a little extra time xoxo
24.01.2022 can you relate?
24.01.2022 #syngonium #pinksplash $75 *please note, if you are not already aware, that the vibrancy of the pink depends on the age of the leaf... pink comes through nice and bright but will fade out over time to a softer colour*
23.01.2022 Last post of the weekend guys... cheep and cheerful, a lovely little #snowqueen for $5 Thank you so much everyone for all your purchases this week... I have a couple of you to contact regarding payments which I will do now before I get back to wrapping up all your babies for the post run in the morning
23.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks #variegated #chainofhearts originally $28 now $20... it's my last one and I love to see it move on to a new home today local pick up is preferred as these guys are a pain to post
23.01.2022 *edit, sold pending First of the new lists for the day (and last post for about an hour or so while I duck out super quickly, more relists and new lists soon!) #syngonium #panda with oh so many long long roots $175 *** For my beloved repeat offenders lol... yes I do still love you guys, but as I need to pay for my car today please do not comment sold if you still have outstanding payments as I will not acknowledge it and simply pass to next in line. Fix up any current purchases first please! ***
22.01.2022 That's a wrap for this week guys and dolls... thank you so so much to everyone who purchased... especially today... you've saved my bacon well and truly! Love you guys so much ***Not for sale just sharing this pretty #variegated #standleyana before she heads off to her new home tomorrow because she's too gorge not too.***
22.01.2022 Happy Tuesday everyone! Just giving you guys the heads up that tomorrow I am having an "I hate my freaking car because it actually broke down.. again!!!" (After only being fixed, again, yesterday ) sale ... fyi, I actually don't hate my car, I love it... I'm just super frustrated with it today ... so first thing in the morning I will go through everything that has been listed and hasn't sold yet, I'll be relisting at a reduced price and then I'll have a scout around and see what other bits and bobs I can find for you all... hope you all nab yourself a bargain and help me get back on the road... again!
22.01.2022 I left it a little late to take pics so the leaves are on their way to closing up for the night but as promised 2 x #oxalisironcross available $25 each... they're all roughly the same size so it may not be these exact 2 pictured as I have some ladies coming to get theirs and they will get first pick as they're already paid for but they're all much for muchness
21.01.2022 Price drop $25 #variegated #chainofhearts Local pick up preferred (definitely a pain to post lol but can do if needed )
20.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks Prefer something a little more established? This #gloriosum is $75
19.01.2022 Excellent question! Someone just messaged asking why she's in an upside down bottle top and a vase... quite simply it's just for support... most of my personal plants are kept in hydro just because it's so much easier to look after them particularly if they're going to be sold down the track... I only have so many narrow vases and prop vessels here so I do this to help hold the base of the plant up out of the water allowing the roots to dangle down and avoid rotting in the stem... thanks for the great question... if you have any others feel free to ask away
19.01.2022 Morning all and happy Saturday! ... I'm not sure what's happening with my insta today... I can see some comments from last night but I can't get to them... as soon as I click I just get the loading circle of death and then it loops back to my notifications... I have lots of plants to list this weekend but if I can't get this sorted this morning they may have to wait til tonight/tomorrow as I'm leaving here shortly to go give a mate a hand for the day... please bare with me, I think my phone jist needs an update... I can see your comments and will definitely reply as soon as I can... I will just jump on the laptop tonight if needed
19.01.2022 Just finished potting up some #philodendron #burlemarx These guys definitely benefit from a totem to climb I'm just fresh out of them lol plant 1 $20, plant 2 $25 and plant 3 $28
19.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks *** strictly local pick up as she wouldn't survive postage at this stage*** #watermelonpeperomia cutting... just started rooting $9 Also there's a couple of people I've messaged from my personal page today as my business page won't let me for some reason so don't forget to check your others folder if you were waiting to hear back abouta plant or 2... I also have a few other people waiting on messages from me... I haven't forgotten... I have just had some trouble finding some things at reasonable prices lately so I'm waiting on my mother plants to give me somewhere to snip instead and I'll be in touch as soon as they're ready to go xoxo
17.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks Was really hoping to let this wee little lady grow out a bit longer to ensure safe travels if necessary so local pick up is definitely preferred but I have this #maranta #noid (originally sold to me as #massengeana / #black but since been advised she is actually the noid) .. 2 roots starting and a new leaf ready to pop (couldn't get my camera to focus any better sorry) $30
17.01.2022 Just a reminder that not much is going uo this week due to the fact that I don't havr time to post and I know most of you guys need postage... totally happy to hold any items if they have been paid for til next eeek though... #philodendron #micans cuttings... some have minor damage to leaves (see pics)... all have started rooting, 4 available at $5 each
16.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks #elsalvador $45
15.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks #red #veined #maranta #fascinator cutting... not yet rooted but super easy to get going in water... just takes some patience... she did get some bug damage to 2 of her leaves unfortunately but very healthy over all $12... only one available til spring kicks in
15.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks Last one from this batch... trying to get hold of some more but prices are sky rocketing with sellers at the moment so sourcing is a little harder #oxalis #triangularis #purple #shamrock $10
15.01.2022 #syngonium #three #kings just starting to pop some roots... will be wrapped in sphag for collection or post $10
14.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks Please note... strictly local pick up unless to want to pay an absolute fortune in postage! Also, sorry about the lighting guys... it's the middle of the day now so I may struggle to get good pics for the next few hours but this big boss lady is my #philodendron #andersonsred mother plant... has a couple of plants in the pot, as you can see I've made some chops on her but she always bounces back and pumps out lush new growth for me... does has some tears in leaves etc as she used to live outside so it's a bit unavoidable $60
14.01.2022 #apoballis #acuminatissima $45 each x2 available
13.01.2022 Good glorious morning to you all... here we go with the my car still needs more repairs sale! First of the re-lists up for grabs are 2 x #apoballis were $45, now $30 each
12.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks When you ever so foolishly decided to chop your Mumma plant right in the middle of winter and she has a tantrum, dropping all her leaves and roots ... fair cop, I deserved that lol... but she's making a come back with a new growth tip and new roots so is a nice cheap entry level #philodendron #gloriosum for $49
11.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks A lot of people ask me to let them know when I will have a certain plant in again and I do try my best but as I've said in the past... sometimes I'm not anticipating having to sell something and then an unexpected bill happens or my child decides to cost me several hundred dollars over night ( have kids they said! ... ) so I have to list the plant immediately and can't wait to get a response from every individual who has asked so I'm sooo sorry to those that I know have asked and really want a #syngonium #fantasy ! I hope you don't miss out Like #icarus she unfortunately got a little too close to the sun but she's super healthy and putting out a new shoot down at the base and is $25
11.01.2022 I can't seem to edit the earlier post so reposting to include a pic of the mother plant... #syngonium #pinksplash ... cutting only, not the mother, $75
11.01.2022 Good morning everyone... just sending out a last call for payments as I'm wrapping the last plants to go out for today. Gentle reminder that I will only post once funds have cleared into the account so anyone paying this morning and wanting postage today will need to use osko
11.01.2022 *edit, plant 3 sold with thanks Relist #philodendron #burlemarx plant one was $20 now $12, plant 2 was $25 now $15 and plant 3 was $28 now $20
11.01.2022 Good glorious Friday everyone! I have just picked up these gorgeous #alocasia #wentii ... pics 2,3,4 are plant 1 for $18, pics 4,5,6 are plant 2 for $32 and pics 7,8 and 9 are plant 3 for $35 ***please note that the leaves have some bug bites however I have inspected thoroughly and cannot see any signs of any current, visible infection of any kind but will I be treating just as a precaution before sending out***
08.01.2022 Relisting as 2 separate plants (was originally 2 plants in the one pot so both have their own roots etc) #hoya #pubicalyxpinksilver Plant 1 $25, plant 2 $35
08.01.2022 I just saw this on another page and I think it's really important to consider where you put your prop stations, esp coming into summer... the magnifying effect of the glass could accidentally start a fire so just something to keep in mind as it actually never would have occurred to me even though I know glass can do this
08.01.2022 *edit, sold with thanks Okily dokily do... next round of relists #syngonium #pink #splash rooted cutting...please check all pictures to be aware of what you are purchasing as mother plant is shown only for reference... cutting was $75 now $60
07.01.2022 Relisting these large Marge's plant 1 was $18, now $15, plant 2 was $32 now $25, plant 3 was $35, now $28 (please do note that the 2 larger plants would require an additional $3 postage to my normal rate of $15 just as they are so big and heavy, it will probably cost me around $20 to send)
06.01.2022 Happy Father's Day everyone... you may have noticed I've been a bit MIA this last week which is why nothing has been listed and I have a ton of unansweredcommentsand msgs... I have unexpectedly and suddenly gone back to full time work but until I get a regular roster sales are on hold... I'm trying to negotiate having a little window of time on Mondays too be able to scoot to the post office but until I can actually guarantee that I just don't feel right putting anything up ... will be in touch again as soon as I know more and fingers crossed I can get that Monday time to post and keep things going here... much love always guys xoxo
05.01.2022 And another win! Yay spring! A stem cutting I took of my #anthurium #dussii aka #balaoanum at the start of the year... the other 2 have sadly not made it and I had forgotten about this one but she lives! Roots and shoots!!! Also... I have managed to secure a time slot on Mondays so we will be back to listing and posting as of next week... yay again! ... so I may list some items over the weekend but they would need to either be picked up or paid for and held til I can post next week as I have an appointment this Monday so won't make it in to post
05.01.2022 Look what just arrived in the post! #oxalisironcross ! been searching for these guys for awhile now and yes, I will most likely list one or maybe even 2 today... these aren't all mine though so I definitely can't part with any more than that... I just wanted to say though that if you guys are local to me and see me buying something on fb by all means feel free to ask me or the seller to combine postage and get yours sent out with mine... after all, every dollar counts and I certainly don't mind at all
05.01.2022 Who else just saw this on aroids and got a whole new appreciation for the humble snow queen!?
04.01.2022 Closing in on that magic number bit by bit guys ... popping these guys up as a pack for $29 1 x birkin 1 x maranta and 1 x snow queen (I have just a couple marantas left over now so I will also price drop those from $16 to $12 if you'd just like one on their own
03.01.2022 Fyi... if you ever have to time stamp something on insta it's so much more difficult than Facebook lol... was on the phone when these comments came though and trying to go back and get a time from insta is such a pain in the royal! but at least I know how to do it now
