Tube stock is a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly, and it starts small while the cream patterning develops.

A sold out tube simply means none is ready, and the notify button on this page emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
