Hi all,
Having been inspired by a recent demonstration, I'd like to experiment a bit with grafting. However the places I would think to grab some cheapo plants to use as stock (Wilko, IKEA) have had nothing in stock locally (near Sheffield). Nearby garden centres charge more than I'm willing to pay for plants I'm about to take a knife to.
Could anyone here recommend sources of affordable stock? I'm only going to do this on a small scale to begin with.
Thanks,
Jen

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
