I've just been looking at the DEFRA site (UK regs for plant/animal products import/export). Obviously the EU Plant Passport is no longer valid for importing plants into the UK and the new regs are being introduced in 3 stages:
Now, Spring and Summer.
I can quite understand EU vendors either stopping completely the sending of plants to the UK, or, as I hope is the case, they are temporarily stopping and will resume once the new regs are fully in place. Who would want to have to change the process 3 times in 6 months? There is also an additional charge of just over £5 for the accompanying docs to be checked in UK, adding to the costs.

I was hoping that would be the case that they will wait until the regulations have become clear and concrete, many are not shipping at the moment due to Covid as well.
