    Hello, I have been looking for a Gunnera with a bit of roots, anyone here that could spare one?
    Also, I am trying to expand my indoors collection, anyone has cuttings that could share, please? I live in Durham, happy to contribute for delivery. Thank you

    @Sandra A  Can't help with the Gunnera but what type of indoor plants are you looking for ?
  • Sandra ASandra A Posts: 146
    @philippasmith2 I love almost all indoor plants. I would love to have more ficus, climbers, syngoniums.
    Here is the list of those that I have:
    Spider plant
    Peace lilly
    Monstera
    Boston fern
    Hoya
    String of pearls
    Philodendron scandens
    Philodendron pink princess
    Ficus benjamina
    Aloes
    Birds of paradise
    Syngonium
    Easter cactus
    Crassula minor
    Tradescantia (plain green)

    Thank you for asking

    Ah OK - sadly I don't think I can help then - I have Dendrobium Orchid ( sprays of scented white flowers in Spring ). Beaucarnea ( pony tail palm )  and various cacti/succulents. Some Carnation (Chabaud Giant ) but I usually grow those outside and cut the scented pink flowers to bring indoors.
    Good luck with your quest anyway  :)

    I have peace Lily,  can I split it?  it’s ready for repotting.
    Also I could break off some bit of the Easter and Christmas cactus,  don’t know which is which,  one’s red one’s pink.  Do you know how to plant them from a broken off bit?

    Hi @Lyn thank you for your kind offer, but I already have those. I am always dividing peace lillies, spider plants, cactus (I have both colours) and monstera deliciosa, because they grow a lot and there are always babies. I wanted to expand from what I have, I am OK with cuttings, but no luck until now :)

    OK, I have been desperate to have a Gunnera. Tried seeds, nothing, bought a little one, Winter came and took it away. Does anyone have one that could swap? I know that Gunneras are outdoors, and Monsteras are indoors, but I have a lovely Monstera that I could swap with a Gunnera. Anyone, please?

    I'll be moving a gunnera in the near future. I will do my best to get a piece with root and send it off to you. It's tipping down at the minute but I'll have a look when it dries up. Probably tomorrow...

    YAYYYYYYY that will be amazing, outstanding, marvellous, sublime!!!! would you accept my Monstera?

    I had a quick look between showers earlier and the are some little growths in the middle of the plant so I'll try to separate them out.
    I'm afraid I am a houseplant murderer so your monstera would definitely be safer staying with you 😳 but thank you. I'll see what I can do in the morning. Well later in the morning.
