- Aloe variegata (one portion left) - year of harvest 2016 or 2017

- Massonia echinata "densely pubescent" (one portion left) - harvest of spring 2018

- Turbinicarpus saueri ssp. nelissae - harvest of 2017

Please send me a personal message if you are interested.

I do not count the seeds per bag, so I cannot guarantee a certain amount of seeds. I make sure you will get more than enough, usually multiple dozens per species per bag if they are not rare and / or my stock is not extremely low. Seeds usually are clean, but depending on the species there could be some flower debris along with the seeds as for species it is hard to harvest them without flower remains.

I don't sell any seeds. All seeds on offer are free, unless the few species that are 'swapping only'. For free seeds please reimburse me for postage. But instead of reimbursing you might also like to swap seeds / seedlings / cuttings. Swapping instead of reimbursing me has my preference: I like swapping! I am mostly interested in mesembs, (Southern African) bulbs, cacti with tuberous roots or succulents that can survive moderate to severe frosts.

The free seeds are available for the cost of just one (international) stamp. Reimbursement of postage via paypal, please (send the money as 'gift', this will be cheaper than paying for 'services'). Reimbursement will be 1.40 euro for worldwide delivery if I can keep the envelope below 20 grams (in most cases). Occasionally the envelope will be heavier, doubling the postage costs (I will let you know if this is the case).

I can send seeds all around the world (if your country needs a customs CN22 declaration that's not a problem, e.g. for Australia or New Zealand).

I'm sure I'll get laughed at, if not straight up ridiculed, but do you have something for a complete beginner? Something fairly hardy and low light?

Haworthia and Gasteria are usually succulents that don't need a lot of light, and can take a light frost every now and then.

But low light requirements and frost hardy are tough combinations to find in a succulent plant. It is much easier to find tough frost hardy plants, but they all require high light intensity too (at least during spring / summer).

I don't have any concerns about frost here. I just mentioned them being hardy because I'm new and want something that can take my attempts to grow it without causing it too much stress lol. As far as low light, I'll have a smaller grow light for it.

Re: Free seeds / seed swap 2018 list

Post by alvionna »

I searched some names and I saw it back then in the shops here In The Philippines. Some of them costs almost 30 dollars or more and I cant afford that price, I can buy lots of some other cheaper species for beginners in that price. Maybe the dreams of having some rare ones will stay as it is

Some things are out of stock. Such as Massonia echinata "densely pubescent", which is gone now, but fresh seeds are on their way. Should be back on the next update of this list. Same goes for Lachenalia ensifolia. More bulbs to follow on the next update including some rare ones like Massonia amoena, hopefully.

I have the following species available for free to everyone, experienced or inexperienced:
- Anacampseros arachnoides - harvest of summer 2018 (unfortunately some Anacampseros namaquensis seeds have sneaked in there too, but 95% of the entire batch will be A. arachnoides)
- Anacampseros namaquensis (ex JVT 94230, Aughrabies Hills) (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2018
- Drosera capensis (carnivorous, non-succulent) (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2018
- Glottiphyllum cruciatum (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2018
- Habranthus tubispathus (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2018
- Notocactus magnificus / Parodia magnifica (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2018
- Tulbaghia galpinii (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2018

I have the following species available for free to experienced growers only:
- Drimia uniflora (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2018
- Turbinicarpus lophophoroides (one portion left) - harvest of 2016
- Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele (one portion left) - year of harvest 2016 or 2017

And I have these available for swapping only:
- Conophytum burgeri (one portion left) - harvest of autumn 2018
- Dionaea muscipula ("Venus fly trap") (carnivorous, non-succulent) - harvest of summer 2018
- Gymnocactus beguinii (one portion left) - harvest of summer 2017
- Hippeastrum hybrid, red flowers (generally known as "Amaryllis") (one portion left) - harvest of spring 2018
- Massonia pygmaea var. pygmaea - harvest of spring 2019
- Turbinicarpus saueri ssp. nelissae (one portion left) - harvest of 2017

Please send me a personal message if you are interested.

I do not count the seeds per bag, so I cannot guarantee a certain amount of seeds. I make sure you will get more than enough, usually multiple dozens per species per bag if they are not rare and / or my stock is not extremely low. Seeds usually are clean, but depending on the species there could be some flower debris along with the seeds as for some species it is hard to harvest them without flower remains.

I don't sell any seeds. All seeds on offer are free, unless the few species that are 'swapping only'. For free seeds please reimburse me for postage. But instead of reimbursing you might also like to swap seeds / seedlings / cuttings. Swapping instead of reimbursing me has my preference: I like swapping! I am mostly interested in mesembs, (Southern African) bulbs, cacti with tuberous roots or succulents that can survive moderate to severe frosts.

The free seeds are available for the cost of just one (international) stamp. Reimbursement of postage via paypal, please (send the money as 'gift', this will be cheaper than paying for 'services'). Reimbursement will be 1.45 euro for worldwide delivery if I can keep the envelope below 20 grams (in most cases). Occasionally the envelope will be heavier, doubling the postage costs (I will let you know if this is the case).

I can send seeds all around the world (if your country needs a customs CN22 declaration that's not a problem, e.g. for Australia or New Zealand).

Most of the Ariocarpus are back on the list, as the original requester I reserved them for never was heard from again. Always nice. So a chance for others. Next to this I have added a lot of bulb seeds. Swapping only for now, but this might chance through the year. Removed a few that I have sown myself after it seems there was not much interest in those.
