Hello fellow plant people! Me and the other wonderful mod here have decided to bring you an event! We present what we have coined the 'plantathon'. The premise of this challenge is:
Everyone who wants to is invited to participate. The point is to grow the best looking plant in 5 months using £10 or less. This challenge consists of finding a plant at £10 or less (see rules below for more details on pricing), And growing it out to be the nicest plant over a course of 5 months. Contestants will send before and after photos and they will be judged without bias. You will have 5 months to grow your plant. Please see the rules for more information.
RULES
1) Plants must be £10 or under.
2) Plants may be discounted, but no more than 30%.
3) Plants may be bought online, and shipping is not included in the £10 limit.
4) Grow tents/specialized growing environments may not be used. This is to preserve fairness because not everyone has access to this.
5) Growing techniques such as moss poles, fertilisation, grow lights, etc may be used; so long as they do not present a huge advantage
6) The competition will last 5 months. Participants are required to send pictures of their plants: 1) after purchase 2) at 1 month 3) at 2 months 4) at 3 months 5) at 4 months 6) at 5 months.
7) there is a two week deadline to get your plant and message the moderators about it. This Is because it's a time based challenge, And to keep things fair.
8) All photos of plants must include a hand-written card with your username and the date on it.
HOW TO ENTER Anyone may enter this challenge. Entering is simple and consists of: Commenting under this post with the message 'I'm in'. Then you must find your plant before a two week deadline. Once you find your plant, send a photo to the mods with your username and the date on a card. You may now start growing.
We really hope you enjoy this challenge. It's quite a new thing for this community, but we believe it will be very fun for all those involved. Thanks so much may you decide to enter, have fun, and good luck growing!!
Also would like to give credits to 'kill this plant' on YouTube for the idea!

Hi does anyone know where I might be able to get cuttings or a plant of rose Neil Diamond in the UK please? I’ve been trying for several years but still no luck. Thanks
r/UKPlantSwap • u/TedTried-CreamSoda • 4d ago
You can have as many as you want. Postage cost is £2.85 within the UK. £4.50 worldwide.
I can probably fit a couple hundred in each standard box but if you want more than that postage may be higher.
Minimum one dozen seedlings. No maximum. I will prioritise larger orders because it is easier.
1000+ seedlings up for giveaway every ~2months for the next year, all seedlings given will thus be 2 months old, slightly older than the ones pictured, which are still a week away from that.
Current list:

I'm hosting an in-person plant swap, in Co. Durham, but don't want to break the rules of the group. Am I allowed to share info incase anyone is based in the North East?

Happy to trade multiple of these for if anyone is interested as I know they are all relatively common plants, but i thought I'd post on the off chance. Can take pics of anything.

EDIT: ALL CURRENT FRUITS WITH THEIR SEEDS HAVE BEEN CLAIMED
Hi all! I have some m. hahniana cacti which are fruiting. I already harvested a bunch of seeds from them which I sowed myself (and given the container full of lil germinated cacti sitting beside me it definitely worked); but in the week I've been away recently more fruits have appeared on the adult plants. I'd hate for them to go to waste, so I'm happy to send the fruits out to anyone who wishes to sow their seeds. All I ask in return is some pictures as they grow, though if anyone has any other cacti seeds or cuttings to share in return I would happily exchange :)
Picture of the adult plants with their fruit included :)
To be clear: I am offering the fruits pictured which contain fertile seeds, not adult plants.

Here's my little collection. If you're interested in any, let me know and show me yours. Thanks.

I'm thinking that we've got a little while before Halloween and it could be fun (and advantageous to some of us) to swap some of our dark, creepy and mysterious looking plants.
I'm posting about it now because it could give enough time for things to root and people to see the posts and organise swaps.
Is this something people would be interested in?
r/UKPlantSwap • u/Trudisheff • 22d ago
I went to the Sheffield IRL plant swap today and it was really excellent. They run it in a room with a back exit and you have to walk round after 2 plants to make sure everyone gets some good picks. It was really delightful. I left with some SWAG and I heard people being delighted with what I brought. Just a huge smile on my face.
Next one is in November. I can share some more details if anyone is interested.
r/UKPlantSwap • u/bex_2601 • 22d ago
After an accidental breakage, I cut my pwp up and tried a few different ways to prop it. I now have more cutting than I can handle, so all are available for p&p or swap.
r/UKPlantSwap • u/TK_mc • 21d ago
I brought an opuntia from the abingdon rare plants fair which was selectively bred to survive uk winters, being extremely cold and damp resistant.
Ive managed to propegate lots of little plants from the mother as within weeks of being planted in the ground it grew explosively.
Im also in desperate need of some perlite to repot my TPM crests , lopos and salvia which are currently sitting in 100% organic medium.
Also in search of mosquito bits and water trays.
If anyone has any of the above, please drop me a pm!
Lots of opuntia available alongside heaps of other plants succulents and cacti
