Hi all

I have recently bought some Bird Box Plants from the Flower Market in Amsterdam.  All have grown really well but I'm not sure what to do with them now.  I have potted them on and they are all healthy, but i cannot find anything on the internet in relation to growing them other than Bird nest ferns.  Can anybody help.

Thank you

    Hi Phillipa and Nutcutlet.

    I have found the packet of seeds on the interweb.  The first bit of info is that they grow well on a compost heap.  Thank you both for your help and internet searches and advice.
