Definations of tc plants, tubestock and 4" pot plants:
tc plants: These fully rooted tiny plants are sold in their container (in-agar) or ex-agar, in take-away boxes. These suit most overseas buyers and bulk buyers/growers from Australia. Please note that we sell tc plants in sterile flasks in multiples of 35 or 40; each flask contains either 35 or 40 plants depending on the variety. Minimum buy is one flask.
tubestock: These are established rooted tubestock, normally about 5 cm in height. Best suited for growers and wholesalers within Australia.
4" pot plants: 4" pot plants are usually in 4" (100mm) pots. But sometimes they can be overgrown in a 65mm size pot or even in large seedling trays. But we call them 4" pot plants because irrespective of which size pots they are in, the plant size is as good as or even better than 4" pot plants. Fact is, bromeliads always grow better when they are under potted.
These are well established, vigorously growing plants, best suited for retailers, Sunday market sellers, landscapers and hobby gardeners.
Import permit (if required) and import conditions must be obtained and send to us before you place an order for plants from another country. Without the correct permits and/or import conditions it will not be possible for us to obtain phytosanitory certificate for your shipment. Without which your products may be seized by quarantine authorities in your country and an additional fine could be imposed.
Please visit shipping information (overseas) for more details.
