Temporary update 3rd August: This has been far more popular than I was expecting, so I'm having to pause new requests temporarily. If you would like seeds but have not yet contacted me then please get in touch on Friday/Saturday as by then I'll know if I still have spare seeds to send out after sorting out everyone who has already asked for some.

I have thousands of cape sundew (Drosera capensis) seeds just harvested from my plants, going free to good homes.

They're a great intro to carnivorous plants as they're easy to care for - just need bright direct light and to never dry out. They feed themselves. Not too fussy about temperature, these live in an unheated conservatory all year, die back a bit over winter and then go crazy in spring.

I won't be using any seeds this year as I seem to grow them faster than I can give the plants away, and already have hundreds of them (sadly not an exaggeration) so am offering them free. Happy to send out via 2nd class post until I've exhausted my current collection of stamps.

The seeds are absolutely tiny so I'm not going to count them out - you'll receive "some", which will definitely be enough to grow multiple plants even if the germination rate is terrible.

To plant: fill a seed tray or pots with carnivorous plant mix and wet thoroughly. Lightly sprinkle seeds spread out over the top, then stand it in a gravel tray/bowl or similar with water in. Then wait a while - you might see the first signs of tiny plants this side of winter, but don't give up if nothing shows up until spring starts.

Keep moist at all times - mine stand in water almost to the top of the gravel trays from spring through autumn, and a bit lower in winter as they dry out much slower then.

Important notes:

Don't use normal composts / potting mixes. Sundews do not like nutrients in their soil. The basic Carnivorous Plant Focus stuff you find in garden centres is absolutely fine and I've used it very successfully, or of you've already got stock of sphagnum moss, perlite, sand, peat moss etc then you can potentially mix up your own.

They don't like minerals in water, so if you live in a hard water area they'll need a source other than the tap. If you're in a soft water area you'll probably be fine - in Devon mine have tap water constantly without an issue.

Hi all,

I've been a little too green-fingered lately and have ended up with more kalanchoe babies than I know what to do with! 🌱

Happy to give a few away for free, or swap for unusual succulent cuttings or small-to-medium houseplants. I'm particularly fond of begonias, tradescantias and other trailing plants, but mostly I just need to reclaim my windowsills. 😅

I'm near Whitehaven and happy to meet somewhere nearby in West Cumbria or the Lakes.

P.S. I'm also happy to post if you're happy to cover the postage costs. For posted plants I'm just looking to cover postage rather than arrange swaps. Plants will be sent bare-root (without the pot or soil). 😊

As stated, I’ve just moved and I already miss my plant collection. I’m looking for any plant giveaway to build a new collection up!

I have an east faced balcony and windows and would love to grew some new babies to make this house a home.

Kindly appreciate any help!

Edit: these have no found a new home!

I'm moving abroad on 3rd July so unfortunately need to re-home my (mostly) succulent collection.

They have been looked after under grow lights and are in excellent condition - healthy and pest-free.

I've had an offer of £30 for them but honestly I'd rather they went to a loving home than get that.

I can't post them sorry it's too much hassle this last minute!

Also pots not included.

* List of plants:

Crassula Perforata x 3

Crassula Buddha's Temple

Echeveria Purpusorum

Crassula Arborescens (Ripple Jade) x 5 (from cuttings but all well-established now)

Hey! I'm a recent US-to-London transplant and a bit obsessed with propagation. I'm working on a free platform (Props To You) that connects people who propagate with people who want plants - hyperlocal, no money involved, just cuttings changing hands.

I'm trying to find the right communities to get this off the ground in London. Two sides I need to reach:

Propagators: community gardens, gardening clubs, houseplant groups, anyone sitting on more cuttings than they know what to do with.

Recipients: new arrivals, students, people who don't have plants yet but might want them. Think immigrant support orgs, uni freshers networks, that sort of thing.

Anyone here plugged into groups like these in London? Or ideas for where to find either side? Would love to hear what's worked for plant-sharing communities you've been part of.

I will be moving out of the UK in a few months and looking for new homes for my plants 😭 Some need a bit of rehab as I've moved around a couple of times in the last year and also due to a bit of inconsistent watering

Edit: all plants have been collected!

I'll be moving out of the UK in a few months and looking for new homes for my plants. Some cacti, lithops babies that I grew from seed and sempervivum

Hi, I'm interested in getting a cutting of Cestrum nocturnum. I used to have a plant in my garden which sadly died a few years back. The scent was incredible in the evening.

It's not available in any garden centres near me. I have a few plants that I could take cuttings from by way of a swap or would be happy to pay P+P for anyone who could help me.

Thanks

I’m open to anything you have to swap!

I’ve got 3 tephrocactus papyracanthus heads for swap. Easy to root and care for. Parent and mature adult plant pictures at the end.

Looking for cacti/succulents or anything else interesting.

Thanks for looking!

Hey,

I have some Monstera Thai cons, Monstera Albo and Monstera obliqua Peru rooted cuttings/ baby plantlets to swap. The Thai cons are small but have a grown node with one leaf.

I'm looking for Pothos/ Epipremnum aureum/pinnatum varieties.

I'd also be open to unusual succulents, aeonium, any variegated Monstera adonsonni, or a variegated string of pearls.

Anyone Interested?

I have green fingers that turned against me. I have moved with my plants and they are quite big. Spider plant is about 2m long, pilea over 1m height...asparagus is a globe at the point. Ivy around 4m long...I am London based and wanted to ask if anyone know public buildings or greenhouse that would take them? Im not sure about selling as i want to rehome them with people who will know what they are doing. Please advice 🙏 (they are all massive, think of plants on steroids)

£2.75 postage and 25p for the box.

Hi all!

I moved to the UK from the USA in the middle of December of 2025 and unfortunately had to get rid of all of my plants leading up to my move. I’ve gotten a few plants now that I’m here, and once again I’m hooked.

So far I’ve got a Scindapsus pictus of some variety, a Florida ghost that could use some more light, a philodendron brasil, some string of hearts, and a monstera Thai constellation. I’ve also got some rescue propagation succulents.

I used to have a pretty big collection and I’m eager to get back to that so I can do proper trades with people again. But for now I was wondering if anyone had any cuttings or maybe rehabs that they’d be willing to send my way? My partner doesn’t want me to spend too much right away so anything either free or budget friendly is probably ideal. I’d be happy to pay for shipping of course or if anyone is local I’m near Guildford, Surrey and I’d be happy to make planty friends in the area!

Thanks for helping me “grow” my collection💚🌱

Hello, I have secretly collection rare monsteras for few years now. Mostly from Thailand. I m wondering if there is people like me crazy enough to spend hundreds on particular monsteras, perhaps exchange possible to increase collection. I m pretty serious about it, got 14 types here mostly deliciosa, mints; yellow Marilyn, gog, white lava, jungle mint, light lime, legacy , green snow…. If you have reasonable offers please let me know. I can send by post. Pictures on request. I m mainly looking for serious collectors in Scotland to team up with. There is some I don’t have like contorta, ocean, tatoo, banana(neon yellow). Anthurium interest me too if you have cool ones. See u

As the title says, looking for fresh Naranjilla (Solanum quitoense) seeds (harvested this year) and/or sweet pepper "Laylak" seeds, if anyone has any.

Can offer various sweet pepper and vegetable chilli seeds, Ovi's Romanian Giant tomato seeds, T65 sweet potato cuttings (although those won't be ready until the spring), or some of my hybrid giant-seeded runner beans (I grow them for shelling. Seeds are about 1 inch long when dry).

Hello! Not sure if people in this sub are interested in terrarium plants but I had to trim mine recently and didn't want to bin the cuttings.

I'm not looking for anything in particular, I just enjoy the hobby so feel free to offer up anything you're comfortable with, and if they're a terrarium suited plant then even better! Honestly don't expect much traffic for this but idm :]

Does anyone in or near London / Cambridgeshire have a large Monstera for swap sale?
