Nice plants Betty Smile Looks like you have plenty of space to spread out too.

What are the plants you're growing in the terracotta pots on the tiered shelves in the background of the second photo?

Thanks Squil, plenty of space is true but believe it or not these and hundreds of others have to be shifted nearly 600kms in the future Shocked

The plants on the stand are adeniums

do you have any plans as to how you will do that? once you get a collection like yours you can't just stuff it down by your feet and drive 600kms. !

Very easy to grow............I have over 600 seedlings and some are going dormant at the moment. I did put the young ones on some heat and planted more seeds last weekend Rolling Eyes I am a glutton for punishment Laughing

When they go dormant you must keep them dry and away from any frost. I lost some at the onset of spring last year Sad They just go to mush. If you get them early enough you can save them by cutting out the rot and hang them till all is healed then repot.

I would guess and say that most of the ones on the stand are 2/3 years old. Some are grafted plants that have been imported.

Lots of plans, the big cacti will taken bare rooted and the others will be packed in LOTS of boxes with newpaper around them. The removalists can then cart them for me Very Happy

I will have to take plenty of pics when it all happens

I will be interested to see how it goes. It sounds like it will be actually pretty easy realy. lots of dry roots, newspaper balls and boxes. Smile
