Welcome to c/PlantSwap @ Mander.xyz!

Here, plant enthusiasts worldwide can swap plants and accessories.

This is a work in progress, please don't mind the mess.

Items to Permitted Swap: Plants, crafts, seeds, and garden and plant accessories of all kinds.
Sales Posts: Limited sales posts allowed; no shop spam.
Gratitude: Use the review thread for thanks, no separate posts.

Specify your country and/or region in your post title in brackets: ex. [Canada] or [Chocó] or [Malaysian Borneo].
[Have]: What you're offering.
[Want]: What you're seeking.
Details: Include clear descriptions and images.
Plant Health: Check for pests before swapping.
Responsibility: If your plant is known to be invasive in some regions or climates, note this in your post.

Pay attention to the weather. Make sure to prepare for cold or heat waves. Ice packs and hand warmer packets can be used when packaged appropriately.
Old Tupperware is very versatile and useful for shipping with wet paper towels.
Some seeds have a short viability, so it makes sense to ship them in slightly moist growth medium (such as sand or coconut coir) so that they sprout rather than die in transit.

DM us to add yours! :)

The biggest ones are currently about the size of a 50ml travel-size hand lotion

A couple of things to note is that these require:

(which can be controversial to get as some commercial extractions can destroy bogs, swamps, and wet grasslands).
low pH (aka acidic like pop/juice)

carnivorous plants tend to live in nutrient defficient environments so they mainly get their food via anything that falls prey to them and/or lots of sunlight/whatever light you can give it
