I'm just planning my next plants purchase and was going to use Java Plants again as they've always been ok in the past (though they did have an OOS on my last order) when I decided to have a look at greenline to see if they would be cheaper.

Well on their site it says that they won't import
American Pennywort Hydrocotyle ranunculoides DON'T PURCHASE IF SEEN FOR SALE
Australian Stonecrop Crassula helmsii DON'T PURCHASE IF SEEN FOR SALE
Parrots feather Limnophila hippuroides DON'T PURCHASE IF SEEN FOR SALE

I was about to buy some Crassula helmsii but having done a quick google I now see that it's taking over Cumbrian lakes and is killing off some of our rarer species. :crazy:

While I'm sure I (and others on here) could dispose of any cuttings appropriately I'm going to avoid it in order to reduce demand, the theory being that if everyone does than then it no longer becomes a viable stock :unsure:

Interestingly enough Java Plants stock all three of these plants. :blink:
