You should be able to import these and any other supplies to the EU with no problem Since you don't need paperwork for non-plant shipments. I highly recommend it.




I believe Camille is in Europe so a US vendor wouldn't be any more helpful.

Also these moss nets are much better than simply inserting an inverted net pot. While the only difference is really the rounded top rather than the flat bottom on a net pot, that makes a huge difference in keeping an even layer of moss and aesthetically holding the shape of the mound.

Where can i buy these plastic mesh’s without paying 125 USD shipping?
Thx

The 125 USD is primarily for Cites and plant inspection charges, only a 25 of the 125 is for shipping.

It’s even possible that for non plant purchases that shipping is less than 25 USD.

You have to check.

I am very surprised. Perhaps a lack of communication or website not anticipating such a question. Or maybe he might not want to bother with small non plant purchases so is discouraging such by charging the full 125.

So if small net pots are acceptable to you with flat bottoms instead of the preferred rounded, many US suppliers have them including Kelley's Korner previously mentioned by me in this thread.

nope, I have many of those and tried it yesterday but no success. Currently I'm planning to built something out of zip ties... I'll see how that goes

I would drop them an email if I were you. Their website makes it clear that shipping (EMS) is only $25, and I'm guessing that few people order without including some plants:

Shipping costs:
EMS rates 25 USD
Cites(cost 80 USD)
Quarantine Certificate(cost 20 USD)
Total amount 125 USD


Otherwise, it got me thinking that these could be very easy to make using a 3D pen.

Still no luck 😔.
If anyone could point me in the right direction... that would be awesome

At the end of any Hakumin posts, there is a link to “ Neofinetia Subreddit”.

There is currently a totally confusing discussion on this issue which I did not carefully read since it was irrelevant to me but you might get something out of it. It did not seem to be definitive.

Okheon, the owner of Barampung's preferred method of communication is Facebook messenger. You can find him here.

If you don't want to use facebook, email him. You can find his email address at the bottom of his website under the section that says "banking account"

I know nothing about Neofinetia. But DrDawn posted a video a ways back about Jason Fischer. At about 1:42:30 into the video, he shows his technique for making the little balls of sphag for them. It might help someone?
