Any interest in a cutting swap community? Also, would love a hand or two!
Gauging interest post. Do any of you fabulous folk want to help start a cutting swap community? Always loved them on reddit. Half of my collection is from those fine folks! :)
How does it work? Do the cuttings survive in the mail, or is it a local thing?
I've been lurking here to learn more lol
If it's a new community, could it include other types of exchanges? Seeds for example, I've seen some things like that locally with seed libraries and neighborhood groups
why not use this community? just add tags to the title: [Plant Swap] [Australia] giving away beginner friendly Hoya carnosa / porcelainflower / wax plant
you can still learn about the plant and have general discussions in the comments? why split the community?

I'd be down๐ค
although I'm not sure how I'd swap as most of my plants are root-based cuttings๐
Hmm, thatโs pretty smart! I suppose shipping priority mail would have it stay wet for long enough, then?
yooooo
if that works that's pretty swag๐
done!
Root cuttings can be safely mailed, it just takes a little set up. And a mindful eye on the weekly forecast
I'll probably ask for some help on the community๐ค once my exams are finished in December๐ฅฒ
with the climate I'm in, I'll def have to check the weather before sending plants๐

Cool! I'd love to see those here :)
For regional ones, you could make/promote them on the regional instances. This could also be great to promote on other fediverse platforms
I like it :)
