Take A Plant Leave A Plant is an online trading community for your cuttings, seedlings, seeds, or whatever plants you have laying around! We want to spread the love of plants to those who don't have access. Please, don't flip your plants here. Happy trading!
Take a plant, leave a plant. A community for trading plants, seeds, and cuttings.
Flair your post. For trade posts, flair your post with your country or state. For trade reviews, flair with "Trade Review." For discussions or questions, flair with "Discussion."
List what you have available to trade. Don't be vague about what you have (ie. "I have a lot of plants.")
Posts are for trades only - no mention of selling or buying in posts. If you want to buy or sell plants, please comment in the monthly sales thread. (Posts where users only need to pay shipping are an exception to this rule.)
Be kind. The strength of this community depends on kindness, respect, and honesty.
Read the trade safety guidelines. Try to abide by these guidelines to increase the chances of a successful trade.
Try to use a payment method with buyer protection, if purchasing plants. Payment methods like PayPal Goods and Services offer buyer protection.
Read the tips on shipping plants. These can increase the chance of a successful trade.

When users review others on their trades, review are logged and stored and users are given a rating. Read about our user review system here. Reviews are for plants/seeds/cuttings only.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | etc
You can either make a post or make a comment to leave a user review. Do not do both for one review.
Make a post: Include the user's username and how many stars you wish to rate them in your post (photos are helpful to others, but optional).
Make a comment: Write a comment in the current "User Trade Reviews" thread. Similar to making a post, include their username and how many stars you wish to rate them.
You can give any value from 1 to 5. (1.5, 3.75, 4.99)
In order to leave a negative review, you must show some proof (like a screenshot) that you have attempted to communicate with your trader partner about your dissatisfaction. Communication is important in this community, so it is prudent to see an attempt has been made to reach out about a bad trade.

It is recommended you do not trade with people on this list.

"Thank you" posts are a way to show off your trades, but once again, they will NOT be inputted as reviews. You must [use our review form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpBEOPr7bQ7U00tol2c8Ft9MFDjMZXfcjwk8HhPgdj5jjpPA/viewform).
Hello! Did you miss me? We are back once again for Secret Planta Winter edition! Same as last year, we are only doing minimum price points.
Previous events: Secret Planta July 2020, Secret Planta Winter 2021, Secret Planta July 2021, Secret Planta Winter 2022, Secret Planta July 2022, Secret Planta Winter 2023.
THIS SWAP IS FOR ITEMS ONLY. Minimum price point must be met by only items. If you chose to ship plants, that does not factor into box price and ship at your own risk. Items can include (but not limited to) art, crafts, plant supplies, edible treats, pet supplies, books, stationary etc.
We are still opening up to the UK and Canada (however the groups may be removed if there are not enough participants). Please select the appropriate group so we can get you matched up with people in your country.
We only have ONE minimum price point.
Prices are based off of what will be going inside the box and does not include shipping. We will require a picture of the stuff going inside the package before the santa ships but this is still βjoin at your own riskβ type of event.
First time/no reviews traders at time applications close will be required to send a deposit to u/infinitymidnight which will be refunded upon arrival of the sent package. If you have participated in any previous Secret Planta, you are not required to send a deposit. The hosts will reach out to those that require a deposit once applications end.
The deposit will be used to send a gift to the giftee if the santa could not complete the event/ghosts. More info will be sent to those that require deposits closer to the start date:
$20US group Plants and Items- $15
20Β£ UK group Plants and Items - 15Β£
20C$ Canada group Plants and Items - 15C$
We will try to match people so that you will potentially get something off your wishlist but it is not guaranteed that someone will have what you want. Please do not get upset if you do not get something off your wishlist. You must meet the minimum price point, if you want to send above the price point, do not expect your own santa to do the same.
While the hosts will do everything to the best of their abilities to prevent scammers, this is a join at your own risk and you'll agree that the hosts will not be liable for unsent/damaged/lost packages.
