Yes, we met on Gardenweb several years ago, we live
about 2 hours away from each other, and she was planning
a trip this month so she said she would just pick up her
trade when she gets here.
Works out great!
Karen

Heather, Please don't worry about them. May be next time I can try them. Please don't send another box.

What kind of soil is good for Bromeliads? Can I use cactus mix?

Thanks
Jasmine

This post was edited by jas_il on Tue, Oct 8, 13 at 20:44

bromeliads grow in trees in the rainforest but I grow them in compost that drains well if you were to buy mix maybe orchid mix would be better. They are so not fussy as long as they aren't frozen. They just keep having pups and even when it dies it has pups

Thanks Heather,

I got my package yesterday and could plant most of the stuff in pots. I am well pleased with what I got and very happy with the plant selection. It had rattail cactus too. Plants are in good shape.

I am still researching on those plants to find out zone hardiness.

Thanks for hosting the swap and hoping to join another swap may be next year.

oh awesome Jasmine and to that question you asked about cactus mix up there It will probably work well I never have used it I use compost and stuff i have around (sand) hahaha. I dont think I sent anything hardy except for red carpet sedum. Hope everyone is doing well it's raining cats and dogs here we haven't had any rain in a couple months.
Today is supposed to be the last day to send I hope everything is ok! =)

Yea, I figured out only hardy variety is red carpet sedum and I am going to plant it outdoor. Rest is going to stay inside and I love keeping them indoors rather than planting out. I never plant prickly things out since they get huge on ground and it's very hard to manage with those ugly spines. :)

No rain for us right now.

I watched youtube video which showed planting bromies. They added potting soil, mulch that's it. I did the same and added some sand and compost too. Hope it would do good. So far they look very fresh. Loved all the plants. My collection grew suddenly from nothing. I am so happy. Those coleuses are nice too. Everything looks good. Thanks a lot. I will try to take picture and post in next few days.

Didn't hear anything from Chelsie so far but hope my plants made it there in good condition.

I'm so glad Jasmine! =) Hope I can send those other plants in the spring or "next time" hehe. Got Nancy's box and I'm SO HAPPY! Had to get those plants outside in the rain lol Love my new plants!

I found this I had forgot about it a mystery stapelia I got at walmart for 2.98 getting ready to bloom...it's probably gigantea starfish lol but what if it's not hehehehe

My package went out- #9114901159815093076067 2 day priority/Saturday delivery.

Heather,
Mixed box is coming your way! :)

Hey Deb I thought my package would be delivered to you on Saturday I see that it won't be there until tomorrow because of the holiday. Please let me know if something didn't survive the extended trip and I can resend it to you!

Chel you are awesome! I totally forgot post office was closed today!

The package should arrive Tuesday. ;)
I'll post when it arrives..

Deb

So disappointed I missed this swap! Do you have it every year? I will have to get some starts going!

Sorry we missed you Michelle! There will most likely be more swaps in the future. And there's always side swapping. Nancy's box is en route YAY! And I still have prickly pears that nobody wanted lol.

My plants from Deb!

mystery stapelia is purple!

What I received from Chel.. Joseph's coat pieces, 2 oyster babies-
Few chunks variegated jade, few babies of 'rose quartz' (reminds me of peanut cactus!) 2 living stones.

Thanks Chel! Thanks Heather for coordinating the swap!

Deb

I received my package from Elizabeth today. She sent:
Blue blooming cactus
Bristle Brush cactus
Dragon Fruit cutting
Succelent Geranium cutting
NOID succelent cuttings

I appreciate you sharing Elizabeth.

Thanks Heather for hosting 2 swaps in a row. I know these were challenging at times but you handled them well. Thanks for also being a great trading partner.

Thank you Nancy! =) I thought I posted last night I guess it didn't show up lol I wanted to thank everyone for participating. Great people coming together to swap plants makes this forum awesome. Look forward to more swaps with everyone.
