I cant help you with an exchange but i know Chris at soules gardens has them and they are awesome!! might be a bit pricy but in my opinion they are well worth it he grows all of his from seed so his plants are at least 3 years old befor he sells them.

Lindalana, 2" pots are much too small. I would plant 10 to 16 plants in a 1-gallon pot full of good potting mix with 1/2 teaspoon of bone meal and a little dolomite lime mixed into it. Fertilize with soluble fertilizer, like 20-20-20, and don't let the mix dry out. Keep in strong light, but not direct sunlight, and don't let the mix get too warm. 60-65F is a good temperature range. My A. candidissimum seedlings are still growing after 4 months, and show no signs of stopping. I have them under fluorescents in the basement. Some of the seeds came up in October, and some are still germinating now. Since your seedlings are too crowded in the little pot, you should fill the 1-gallon pot with mix and then transplant the seedlings individually, spacing them out evenly, so they have lots of room to grow, and get lots of light. Do not let the roots dry out while you are transplanting. Get them into the bigger pot as fast as possible. I have found that bulb-forming plants do much better if their roots have lots of room. Grow them like potatoes. If you do it right, you will knock 1 or 2 years off the time to flowering size.

I have grown dozens of varieties of aroids by seed but I now have arisaema griffithii and nepenthoides seeds and would like to know if these two need anything special to ensure germination.These two are not very abundant in New Zealand so I dont want to loose them. Thanks for any advice.
