Tropical theme ideas plz gang

Crug has great plants, I expect that one was fully grown - many of their'#s are big'uns. They normally sell for £30 or so, in 5L pots. I bought mine off eBay (there is a Cornish [I think] nursery that specialises in more unusual things and they sell a few by the Ebay side-door). Mine is the "Needham" variety - very exaggerate leaf lobes.

None of mine germinated this year, but all my mates (from same supplier) did, so should be straightforward. You need fresh seed though, I think, so buying & sowing now, rather than waiting, might be best.

Should be hard-as-nails. But before you buy: you might prefer the Spider's Web (leaves are mottled with white, but vary from season to season - sometimes almost 100% white - so its not down to specific plant, per se, so don't be worried if a new plant doesn't look "of the type"). Spiders Web becoming more widely available at Garden centres now - Hilliers are selling it. (Readily available via mail-order of course)

 

You received a very good specimen. I often find mail order plants are small, dehydrated and a bit battered but that looks healthy and great.

 

Thanks salamander,its in the greenhouse now as im not sure on its hardiness or age so il keep it safe for now til i find some info on it bought it from The lost world nursery thou they didnt have a lot of stock online last time i looked.
