I got a Tortum! I’ve been eyeing these guys for quite some time, but I just couldn’t fork over $50 for one (I was too busy paying twice that for a Thai constellation lol). I found one for $12 today!!! It wasn’t even a box store, it was at a local plant nursery! I’m stoked. I still can’t believe it was so affordable. That nursery usually knows exactly how much they can charge for rare plants. I’m super happy though. And it’s relatively big and mature compared to the more expensive ones I’ve seen elsewhere! Now I really actually have to stop buying new plants lol. I recently moved in with my boyfriend and we truly have no more room for plants. But I had to get in that one last wishlist plant… for now 😉

    🙌🏼 Exciting! You got a steal for a really good looking guy… that’s hard to come by. I paid a pretty penny for my beloved tortum. I have to say, patience is definitely a virtue so good on you.

      I still can’t believe it! I checked the price so many times before checkout because I don’t think it could be true 😂

    Congrats! Epic find! And looks like a well balanced and healthy specimen! I’m jealous! Good to know that they are finally starting to come down in price tho! I might have to move this up on my wish list. I love how we always manage to find more room for more plants when we say we have no more room. We can be so creative with space when we really want something, right?! I’m currently adding little mini shelves climbing up the walls in my bathroom where I said, welp no more space! Ha! Oh I’ll make space! 😹
