    It annoys me that vareigated Euphorbia pulvinata is still being sold as Euphorbia meloformis. An actual variegated meloformis is very rare and very pricey. Thank you for sharing another awesome video with us 👍🏻🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜

      Thank you! Yeah the perpetuation of the name of Euphorbia meloformis on this plant baffles me.

    Its the same with verigated jungle plants, expensive as hell when they come out. I would never spend 3k dollars on a seedling with a fancy leaf....Off topic i Just went out in the greenhouse and found one of my cactus got eaten by a slug...😡 One of the reasons i dont keep expensive plants😅.....

      It’s not mine - it’s from a rad artist called Nopaulito in the States. Worth checking out for sure!

    How do you go about hunting down specific plants you are chasing? Is it online? And if so what are some more trustworthy and reputable websites? Or do you ground pound nursery’s until you see what you are looking for. As mentioned in the vid. I find nurseries tend to only stock the more common, reliable species

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  Месяц назад +3

      Good question… since I grow most of my plants from seed, I’ll scour the few reputable seed websites that I know: Koehres in Germany and Lifestyle Seeds in South Africa. Otherwise, I’ll just buy curiosities that aren’t on any Wishlist when I’m at a nursery or I trade with friends or connections I’ve made along the way.

I’ll try looking up more info and will keep a closer eye on your channel for more info on them while I search for a source to buy some! Thanks again!

    The lack of pesticides here in EU both for private and comercial sellers are such a big problem, i dont order any plants in EU anymore, becouse they got so many pests, and you have no way of killing them. So rather buy the documents and order from Thailand, they got their pests under control ^^ Best regards!

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  Месяц назад +1

      That would make it difficult! Importing plants here in Australia is a very difficult prospect - lots of paperwork required - so I do see some of those with serious pangs of jealousy! They grow plants amazingly well.
