These will be the last plants we list for a few weeks; we’ve a
busy time coming up with shows, judging etc as well as repotting most of the
collection. We look forward to meeting
quite a few of our eBay customers at cactus events over the summer and will be
back with more new plants on Thursday 13th June.
Haworthia
‘Mirror Ball’ is a Japanese cultivar of Haworthia Cymbiformis ‘Obtusa’ with
attractive leaf patterns. It is easy to
grow and will slowly form a small cluster.
The best description is to see the photo of the plant listed here. It was originally taken as an offset from a
plant in the collection. It measures 5cms
across and is the plant in the photo.
- They
like to grow in a bright spot preferably with some shade from strong
midday sun. They are not frost
hardy, water when dry, about every two weeks. Keep dry during the
winter.
-
- We're now using Royal Mail Tracked
48 Post, and packing in the UK is £4.95. This is meant to
arrive in an average 48 hours according to Royal Mail. There
is no charge for any extra plants so combined shipping in the UK will
never be more than £4.95 in total, if you buy one plant or more than one
plants the total will still be the same £4.95. We
only charge the actual cost of postage and packing materials.
- Sorry but we can’t post outside the UK as Phytosanitary and CITES
permits are too expensive and take weeks to obtain.
-
- The
plant will be sent without the pot and any loose compost, and well packed. On receipt pot into free
draining compost, we suggest a mix of two parts good quality John Innes
soil based compost to one part coarse grit. Use fairly shallow pots, most
cacti and succulents are not deep rooted.
- We normally stop watering a plant once it is listed on ebay as
plants are much better shipped when dry and it is nothing to worry about
if roots are dry on arrival.
We've been growing cacti and succulents since 1975
and regularly give talks at BCSS branch meetings and judge cactus shows during
the summer. If you're not a member of the British Cactus & Succulent
Society, have a look at their website,
most branches have regular monthly meetings and there's always a warm welcome
for prospective new members.
