WELL GROWN AND ESTABLISHED PLANTS INDOOR AND SOME FOR OUTSIDE OR IN
All these plants are grown from my home and have grown quite a bit since last on this site from which a number were sold.
MONSTERA DELICOSA (AKA FRUIT SALAD PLANT) $12
App 7 Months' growth - these stay relatively small in a small pot but get biggerwhere more room for root spread ..... That may seem obvious but not all plants do that! They can grow well outside as undercover or to climb plants like punga. Just one available now at $12
ALOE VERA - HEALER PLANT $5 - $3
Outside in shelter and indirect heat/cold - a variety of sizes - bigger size $5. If you have not met this plant before, next time you cut, scrape, bruise or burn yourself and apply its gel you will know what's marvellous about it.
BILLBERGIA $8
Leaves similar to the broader family of Bromeliads. These leaves are thinner and more solid, draping beautifully. The flowers of this Billbergia are exquisite - the plant grows readily and is lovely in a big group, hanging or standing.
BROMELIAD $5 EACH - prefer multiple sales - and visually work better that way
A variety of bromeliad - the longis spike - can't distiniguish colours but of those I have there is cerise and also read/pink. If you like to go for pot luck I've up to 20 variously.
ASSORTMENT IN POTTERY OR PLASTIC POT - $30, $25 (2 to sell)
All the plants in these pots can be separated for their own planter or area of ground. In these containers they are readily kept in check or allowed to spread - your choice.
MARANTA RED $12 TO $8 depending on growth time
There are all well on the way to becoming the handsome plant that will hang down the sides of your plant stand or shelf beautifully. They have a small mauve flower, are insignificant but the red stripes are very attractive
