    Hi all, just come over from New Members Introduction as I have just joined.

    Don't know if anyone can help here. Where can I buy a succulent plant Hoodia Gordonii?

    Not seen any in garden centres in SE England.

    Thanks

    Not seen any anywhere. If you are over weight I suggest seeing your Dr. (The pills are of dubious use). ;) :D :D

    Cann't find it anywhere maybe worth contacting one of the cacti and succulent societies, if you cann't obtain the plant maybe be worth trawling the seed catalogues and growing it from seed.

    Never had any problems getting seeds from the States Leucojem, most of my weirder palms and cycads came from there. Never tried importing live plants (except within the EU, that's no prob) but they are probably another kettle of plants.
