Plant growers always plan 6 months ahead of a season and growing Exotic Rare plants requires even longer time frame. This week we are receiving many new exotic plants. The final shipment of specimen size Pseudobombax and Dioscorea from Mexico. These plants are getting tougher and tougher to obtain.
Some Exotic Plant Limited due to Permits
Special permits are required by the Mexican government to collect Dioscorea plants. Our source with the permit is retiring and several permit collectors are gone. Therefore, the prices are climbing and availability is scarce. The large pseudobombax specimens receiving in consist of the last available supply from different grower. He just sold his property and the new owners do not plan to grow them because they take 12 to 20 years to get specimen size. Expect them on the AdeniumRose Epic Grower website by mid November
Collecting exotic rare plants is a costly business. Adeniumrose Company continually search for new sources of plants. Other exotics receiving include the following:
- calabanus hookeri specimens
- moringa plants
- euphorbia knuthii specimens
- large optunia orecia (old man)
- pachypodium geayi and lamere
- African ledebourei
- and others.
