Reimbursement of postage via paypal, please. Reimbursement will be 1.50 euro for worldwide delivery. That's around 1.25 GBP / 2.05 USD. This already includes the paypal charges.

Or instead of reimbursing you can swap seeds / seedlings / cuttings, as swapping instead of reimbursing me has my preference. I like swapping (and also to receive mail from far away places)! I am mostly interested in African succulents (e.g. mesembs, caudiciforms) or in some carnivorous plants.

I run a non profit program for under privileged kids in poverty stricken area's around my town, everything is by Donation only, but paying shipping might be okay if i have it, we're not suppose to buy stuff just have unneeded or over flow donated to the program, shhhhhhh!
I would want lithop or any other mesemb type seeds you have


And if you would like to donate anything to the cause personally without receiving shipping costs i would be more then happy to take a pic/send u a hand written letter/drawing from the children who receive the seeds you sent after they sow them!

If interested please pm ME, thanks

The free seeds are available for the cost of just one (international) stamp. Reimbursement of postage via paypal, please. Reimbursement will be 1.05 euro for worldwide delivery. That's around 0.85GBP / 1.30 USD. Previously I stated it would costs 1.05 euro including paypal charges. But I only recently noticed you can also transfer money as a gift to friends and family. The paypal charges will then be payed on the sending side in stead of by me on the receiving end, which will be much lower than the 0.45 euro (maybe even 0 euro, I think?). Sorry for everyone who had to pay a bit more previously.

Hi Aiko :-)

New grower here, I would love to grow out a few varieties of your seeds if your offer is still open. I am brand new to the hobby so I don't really have anything to trade (other than hot pepper seeds if you like).

Let me know and I'll shoot you a PM,

thanks!

Sorry. But I didn't had much. And Lithops is easily available elsewhere, so far from an oddity. So I am sure you will be able to find it elsewhere too.

Hey Aiko! I ended up getting a little excited and ordered a bunch of seeds so as of right now I will be up to my ears in the small space that I have-- perhaps we can trade another time though!
