Wanted Aloe polyphylla Seeds or plants

Post by george76904 »

I am looking to expand my collection, and this is my next elusive plant to track down. I would really prefer to find someone with a plant. OR if someone happens to be somewhere where they see one for sale, if they would be willing to purchase it and send it to me (all at my cost). If anyone would be willing to help me find one then THANK YOU!
Thanks,
Will

Check Ebay. They have some going for $10 for 7 seeds with Free Shipping.

I have debated it but given the rarity of the seed and plant, it is not uncommon for ebay sellers to "mislabel" plants or seeds. So in general I really prefer to avoid ebay for my seed and plant ventures, but thank you for the idea.
Thanks,
Will

I appreciate it but I just realized that they only ship to EU countries.
Thanks,

While searching for some Nelumbo nucifera seeds I came across this place! They sell all kinds of seeds and have most in-stock all year round. They ship world-wide and offer a few methods of payment and also provide instructions for germination and sometimes plant care. Let me know how things turn out!

Also try the succulent nursery of Cok Grootscholten in the Netherlands, be sure to send him an email: http://www.succulenta-kwekerij.nl/nl/nl_cotact.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I believe I saw a few of these Aloes a few days back when I visited the greenhouse. He sends plants around the world.

I once asked a mail order nursery why they didn't sell this Aloe. I was told they are commonly available at big box retail stores. If that is true then I think they're often not labeled as Aloe polyphylla. I saw some plants that looked like Aloe polyphylla but I can't be sure. They could've been hybrids, too. Lowe's might have a spiral Aloe.
