tipz Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I have a large amount of tip cuttings and mid-secions of macrogonus from a very old large specimen for sale or trade. The average width is 10-15 cm. 20 dollars for 30 cm lengths ( get in quick for the tips ) not including postage. i can cut lengths longer - as large as i can post. Very nasty bitter spikey bugger ;D I dont know the best way to send them - wether to despine or not. will have to be sent by box as there are no postage tubes wide enough to fit them in ! Can get photos tomorrow if requested - but i can assure you with absolute certainty it is the real deal. Also inerested in any interesting trades as well. pm me - cheers tipz (edit - just measured - not quite 20 cm ) Edited July 20, 2011 by tipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted July 20, 2011 Sending large, spiny cuttings is simple. Just make a tube out of cardboard (from a box) and slip it over the cutting in the direction of the centrals, or the direction that the majority of the spines are pointing. Just make sure the tube is at least a couple of layers of cardboard thick. Aim to make the tube only a little larger than the diameter of the stem (not including the spines), so that the spines are pressed flat against the inside of the tube (and hence not a danger in transit). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
