Thanks, I know the urban bromeliad website well but he doesnt do the type I want and the UK price is double that of Hamm show

[MJ]

If you email with what you want I'll probably have it not all stuff is on the site and prices are not set in stone I do deals on packages or larger orders.. also 90% of what I have isn't available else where as I get most of my stuff from the top US growers and nurseries Also once you add in shipping etc the plants ork ut cheaper from me I refuse to send stuff in pot as this doubles cost of shipping why should my customers pay to ship soil?

Ok since you cant buy or sell over this forum can you tell me if your site does the hanging baskets? or more than 1 brom pup at a time?

I understand but the old saying you don't ask you don't get springs to mind

I do not do the large mother plants of bromeliads for 2 reasons:

First they tend to be full of mature plants that are either o the verge of flower or flowering which is the start of the end to a bromeliads life cycle (in general)

Secondly do get a bromeliad to do that in the tie they must do it it you need ferts which I do not use at all on any plant destined for the frog tank.. I do use the on my mother plants that are here for propogation but thats foliar feeding directly into the mothers axil the pups never see ferts.

Also

When shipping a hanging basket full of broms you pay for all the soil to be posted as well.. the plants arrive bent up and with substrate all down the axils.

When I ship plants each plant is individually wrapped.. and yes a lot of my bromeliads come with pups growing or starting.

I will also pick the best plant for that size vivarium which you wont get from a European supplier there's very little after care, I know this because I've spent hours answering questions on forums and via email about plants purchased from a few large European suppliers which I don't mind at all
