*MUST READ*
You must flair your post with your state/territory. Do this by clicking "flair" under your post title and selecting your state/territory.
You MUST read your state's and your trading partner's state's customs and quarantine regulation regarding your plants and your partner's plants, even if it is the same state (may be a different quarantine zone). Failing to do so (and abide by regulation) may have severe consequences for the US ecosystem, agriculture and economy, and may result in your fining and prosecution. Check our WIKI for info and links.
Prefix the plants you want with [WANT] in your title. No prefix is required for the plants you have on offer, though you can type [HAVE] before them. [FREE] for giveaways.
If you want to trade within your state due to customs regulation, you can filter through posts by state flair. Type in search bar flair:State Abbreviation (e.g. flair:FL) and tick "limit my search".
Banned or illicit plants are not allowed, and posts and comments trading such will be deleted.
*Keep in mind*
Make sure that the plants you are trading and receiving are not noxious pests in your state (nor the state to which you are sending if you are swapping via mail). Please destroy the plant if it is noxious in your state, or tie it in a bag and throw it in the general waste bin NOT the garden waste bin.
Please consider growing and trading native plants from your area to improve your local ecosystem!
If trading via post, it is recommended to send plant parts or seeds to a PO box or an address which is not your residential address for your personal privacy and safety. It is also recommended that you take pictures of what you are trading and send it to the other person before mailing, and vice versa, to avoid getting cheated.
Please share your personal information via private message and not in a post, again for your safety and privacy.
This subreddit is not for sharing/asking for gardening tips or identifying plants, or sharing pictures of your plants; use these subreddits instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisplant/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gardening/
Do not post questions unless you are trading plants and the questions are about the plants you are trading.
First time swapping or need some help or info? Check out the wiki page for more information and tips. Also check out the rules and the FAQ page. There is a guide/template for posting at the bottom of the posting page.
Feel free to add or correct info or links in the wikis!

Each Package will contain around ~20 unrooted cuttings/plants/slips of the Japanese Asian Purple Sweet Potato Variety.
The Japanese Asian Purple sweet potato originated in Central and South America. It is believed that explorers introduced them to the Philippines and China in the 15th Century, and the potato then made its way to Japan in the 1600's. Initially planted in Okinawa, the southern island of Japan, they were soon cultivated all over Japan. Eventually, these purple potatoes wound up in Hawaii and became a part of the native menu, where they are also known as "Hawaiian sweet potatoes."
These Asian Japanese Purple sweet potato is said to have 150 percent more antioxidants than blueberries. Antioxidants help to guard against cardiovascular disease and cancer. They contain two times your daily value of vitamin A, half your daily value of vitamin C, as well as vitamin B6, iron, dietary fiber, and potassium. While purple potatoes offer a bonanza of disease fighting nutrients, the standout health hero is the powerful antioxidant content linked to reducing inflammation which helps improve blood pressure, overall heart health and may help stunt the growth of certain cancer cells.
Available Varieties:
Asian Purple
Murasaki
Molokai
Purple Stokes
Okinawan
Order Type:
Unrooted Cutting
Rooting Cutting
Fully Rooted Cutting in Soil Plug
Please PM me with your order so that I can quote a price and shipping
The Murasaki Sweet Potato variety is a purple-skinned Japanese sweet potato with unique white-flesh and a distinctive nutty flavor. The purple beauty's soft white flesh is loaded with vitamin C and dietary fiber and will be a summer standout in your garden and kitchen. Robust, Murasaki is resistant to both southern root-knot nematode and Fusarium root rot.
Molokai sweet potato is a purple-fleshed variety that was developed in Hawaiian. A signature type on the islands, but seldom offered elsewhere. They are much higher is antioxidants than the traditional orange fleshed variety that most people are used to.
Stokes Purple sweet potato is a unique variety with purple skin and rich purple flesh that intensifies when cooked. Aside from its unique bold color, Stokes Purple® contains a high level of antioxidants, making it unusually healthy and nutritious. These sweet potatoes offer a well-balanced sweetness, and are also an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber.
Okinawan Sweet Potatoes: Believed to have come from the Aztecs of South America with the Spaniards to the Philippines and China in the 1490s, the plant of these sweet potatoes did not reach Japan until the 1600s. The initial planting was in Okinawa—the southern island of Japan—before they were cultivated throughout Japan, hence the name. Eventually these purple tubers ended up in Hawaii and became a part of the native menu—they are also known as Hawaiian sweet potatoes. With a creamy, beige skin on the outside and bluish-purple flesh on the inside, these sweet potatoes are grown in Hawaii for the U.S. market. Okinawan sweet potatoes have a mildly sweet flavor with notes of honey and a dry, very starchy texture. According to The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner, consumption of these potatoes is correlated to living a longer life.

If you've done this before, I would love to learn how you did it, how was the experience like, and if there were any frustrations that you went through? I'm trying to understand people's habits around donating or gifting their household plants to other people or organizations. As well as those who search for household plants that are being donated. If this sounds like something you may be interested in talking more about, it would really help me if you fill out this quick survey below too. Your help is appreciated and thank you!
