50 - 70 tubers would give you several thousand plants! How many actual plants do you need and any preference to varieties?

I can't send you tubers because we're still fighting a soil disease that you *really* don't want, but can easily send you lots of cuttings later in the year. We'll be sparking them off starting next week.

Got a few cactus that are stunning, from medium-semi to giant, not all are suitable for home gardens though as they're prone to damping off. We also have a fair few "garden" varieties that we spark off, more "border" size than the ones we show.

Let me know how many plants you want and I'll see what I can arrange for you.

Just a quick question on this subject if ok, i didnt lift mine, will the tubers be dead? should i dig them up and look?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
