Request: Blueberry bushes (Nassington PE8) Hi just wondering if anyone has and blueberry bushes they no longer want
Free: Haworthia (Loughborough LE11) Have many of these. I keep them.jn.my greenhouse. They do produce baby plants on the side. They mostly just stay the same but mine produce red flowers on long stems when it gets very hot in summer. They like bright, indirect light and minimal watering, as these South African succulents thrive in dry conditions. Allow the potting mix to dry out completely between waterings to avoid root rot. Use well-draining soil and a small pot to prevent overwatering, keeping them in temperatures of 10-25°C.

Free: Spider plants (Loughborough LE11) Many available. Easy to look after. Hard to kill. Can be kept small or allow to grow big with lots of baby spider plants trailing down. They like bright, indirect sunlight, such as near an east- or west-facing window, away from harsh direct rays which can burn the leaves. They thrive in moderate temperatures (13C to 27C. Perfect for hanging planters, shelves, or well-lit bathrooms/kitchens due to their love for moderate humidity.

Free: Young Dracaena indoor plant (Loughborough LE11) Promised I have to give away most of my indoor plants for various reasons, though will probably keep a few. I will do a separate post for each type of plant as that will be easier. This is a Dracaena. They like bright, indirect light and warm conditions, they are ideal for homes and offices. They are highly resilient, needing water only when the top few inches of soil are dry. Easy to look after. Nice leaves.

Free: Young Monstera plant (Swiss cheese plant) (Loughborough LE11) I have to give away most of my indoor plants for various reasons, though will probably keep a few. I will do a separate post for each type of plant as think that will be easier. This is a young swiss cheese plant. They can grow very big if you want. Swiss cheese plants (Monstera deliciosa) thrive in bright, indirect light and warm, humid conditions. Water weekly, only when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, using well-draining soil. They need climbing support like a moss pole. I'm happy to include a bigger pot and a moss pole I bought for when it becomes bigger.

Free: 2 faux leather black dining chairs (Chellaston DE73) Originally from Harveys, so good quality, but in need of tlc now. 2 x padded high backed dining chairs. Still really comfy, but they got put in a shed during winter and damp got to them, resulting in minor rust marks to the metal legs. This can be sanded out and repainted/sprayed though. Some tiny claw holes in the seats from the (flipping!) cats but I used these chairs with some nice cushions on anyway, so you can't see them if you do this. You can also buy covers cheaply to encase the whole seat and back if you wished. Perfectly usable in current condition though, if aesthetics aren't as important as need.😊 Can deliver within about 5 miles of Chellaston for fuel, or you can collect any day.

Something which is big enough to fit things like a mower and gardening tools (so roughly 4ft to 6ft wide, 3ft or 4ft deep and 3ft or 4ft high... or in metric that's roughly 1.2m to 1.8 wide, 0.9m to 1.2m wide and 0.9m to 1.2m high). Ideally if it can be taken apart for transport, else I don't have a car big enough to move it. Thanks in advance.
