Reviews & Customer Testimonials:

Ina Orton's Review:

Dear Jethro,

I was beyond thrilled when I've discovered your online store selling plant cuttings.

After I've ordered and received the cuttings, I could not wait to open the carefully packed goodies when it arrived via courier.

I was quite impressed with the packaging and handwritten plant species label tags you've attached to each cutting.

I started to plant the cuttings the very next day and I am literally watching them grow daily.

I'm definitely going to order some more!

Most satisfied,
Ina Orton (Centurion - Gauteng)

Plant Shop Africa Review by Ina Orton

More of what our valued customers have to say:

"Hello, Jethro! My Pelargonia arrived just now. Fresh and fragrant! Thank you so much! Gonna plant these babies right now! A pleasure doing business with you. I'm looking forward to buying lots more in the future! this is so inspiring!

Just want to add, Jethro, that my husband is also blown away by your professionalism and proactive approach to produce and market something so beautiful and meaningful, as these cuttings! Well done and we wish you so much success with this project. All the best to you!"

Plant Shop Africa, I can not recommend or say enough about this person (company).

I say person, because the service is personal. Jethro, the owner, makes sure that every clipping is sent with the utmost care for the best results. Mine arrived swiftly, happy, healthy and perfectly ready for planting.

I had many questions, and he patiently answered each one so that my clippings wouldn't be "murdered" by me. Needless to say, they are thriving beautifully!

Thank you, Plant Shop Africa, for an overall, fantastic experience. You are the best!

I was thrilled with the Spekboom plant cuttings I received from Plant Shop Africa. Plus, the few extra surprise cuttings received.

Each and every one was healthy and are thriving in my garden.

Jethro’s customer service is so personalized and his hands on advice and prompt delivery and follow up on after sale service was a breath of fresh air.

I will definitely be back in the future!
Portulacaria afra 'Spekboom' is one of the best plants for climate change and for removing atmospheric carbon.
Cheryl SmithDurban (Kwazulu-Natal)
This was my first time placing an order at Plant Shop Africa.

At first, the website was very appealing to navigate and look at. Information wise it was more than sufficient; it was abundant.

Regarding placing my order, service was impeccable; constant feedback on order being packaged; sent to the couriers; the shipping; the arrival; the follow-up; everything was outstanding.

Some of the best service I have ever received from any online shop that I have ever worked with.

I just want to say thank you very much for the impeccable service and the wonderful plants.

Wow⭐️A huge shoutout to you, Jethro🙌

As a fellow gardener in Jhb, it is awesome to see how you have created this self-sustaining ecosystem to grow food while living your passion❤️

I am also into succulents and waterwise gardening (which keeps me sane, happy, fulfilled and grounded)…haha…grounded…I made a punny🤣

Keep up the great work! 🙌 Stay beautiful, Jethro and keep making a difference - one plant at a time⭐️

Here’s a beautiful gem from my garden this morning.

Everything worked really well. Considering the extreme weather we had in June, 161mm of rain, almost 4 times our long term average the cuttings did really well.

I am really pleased with the way everything is doing.

It appeared earlier in the week that Spring was here but winter has returned. I don't know if I will get flowers from the vygies this year but they have settled nicely.

It was also nice that everything was named. So often one gets vygies but they have no names. So that was a plus.

I will be ordering in October again.

I thought your service was excellent and that you went the extra mile when I had issues with online payment. The cuttings were generous too.

Thank you. Keep well.
These plants have big vygie flower and a sprawling growth habit.
Peter MortimerKuils River (Western Cape)
Buying the plants I wanted through Plant Shop Africa has been one of the most pleasant online shopping experiences that I've had.

The owner, Jethro, reached out to me personally and made sure that all my details were correct, and kept me up to date on the status of the delivery.

I will definitely be shopping with Jethro again, and highly recommend Plant Shop Africa for anyone looking for quality plants for their indoor or outdoor gardens.
A great succulent to fill gaps or to offer a variation in height for landscaping projects.

Good day to all the Plant Shop Africa clients and green fingered people. I would like to give a review.

I found that Plant Shop Africa, and especially Jethro Burnett Thorburn, provided a great, friendly, and efficient service.

I purchased a number of succulents and cuttings and they are all doing well. I was able to achieve 100 percent growth and survival of all cuttings.

I also requested some advice with growing and caring for my cuttings which Mr Thorburn was able to provide.

See pic of spekboom (Portulacaria afra) cutting below, over 30 cm tall and now well rooted with good upper growth within less than 6 months. Thank you and best regards.

Jethro's cuttings have transformed my garden.

Reasonably priced and freshly cut, his plants make for easy gardening!

I have bought more than 100 cuttings from Jethro and every one of them is thriving in my gardens!

He's inspired me to keep planting drought resistant indigenous plants and has introduced me to new plants that thrive in our area.

I would highly recommend any cuttings from Jethro - way higher chance of success than dilapidated nursery plants that lack the care and attention Jethro has dedicated to his garden.

Jethro's knowledge of his plants is great - makes for great advice and assistance!

Thank you for helping me create a green green garden!
It is understandable why this plant is often referred to as the krantz aloe.
Michelle BrothertonMakhanda/Grahamstown (Eastern Cape)
I placed my first order with Plant Shop Africa not knowing what to expect as I hadn't seen any reviews, but the prices were good and I decided to take a chance. And I'm so glad I did.

Jethro provides personalized support and is in contact with you from order placement until delivery.

The cuttings that I ordered were carefully wrapped and labeled, and in perfect condition after their journey from Makhanda/Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape to Pretoria.

Jethro was even generous enough to add some beautiful extra succulent cuttings.

This is a legit small business and I highly recommend it. I will be ordering a lot more cuttings from you in the near future.
Grow in pot plants or in garden beds (shrub indigenous South African).

What is a plant cutting?

A plant cutting is a piece of a plant (usually a stem or leaf) that is removed from a mature plant by cutting it with scissors, a knife, or any other suitable sharp object.

Crassula ovata 'Botany bay' plant for sale online in South Africa on the Plant Shop Africa website

Each product page on our website shows the type of cutting you will receive upon purchase, such as the example above (Crassula ovata 'Botany bay').

How to grow a plant from a cutting?

All one needs to do is stick the cutting into some soil and keep it moist.

If the conditions are suitable (sunny and moist), the cutting will grow new roots from the area where it was cut or from other growth points along the stem.

Eventually the cutting will grow into a new plant that is genetically identical to the parent.

For example: The plant above is a Crassula ovata 'Botany bay' which was grown from a cutting.

Looks easy? Well it is! ☺

Succulents - South Africa's magical plants

Succulents are one of South Africa's most incredible natural wonders because our species are phenomenally well suited to growing from cuttings. No other plants in the world can grow more easily from cuttings.

Our family's massive succulent and indigenous garden has been grown over many years simply by taking cuttings from our mature plants each year and multiplying them over time.

We have experienced the magic of using cuttings and that is why we are so passionate about sharing them with you! ☺

Why do we sell cuttings instead of potted plants?

► By their nature our succulents & indigenous plants are easy to grow from cuttings. This is a big reason why these plants are so popular.

So we choose to pack them carefully and send them to you this way (and in fact, this is common practice amongst the leading succulent shops around the world).

This also saves you a lot of money! ☺

Other online plant shops have inflated prices because of increased courier fees due to the size of the pots and weight of the soil.

This is one of the reasons why Plant Shop Africa has some of the best prices available in the country.

How to grow plants from cuttings?

► All you need to do is stick the cuttings in some soil, keep them moist with water.

These plants are available online in South Africa (conveniently delivered to you).

Soon they will grow roots and become a new plant!

Furthermore, I'm here anytime you need assistance and I've created a guide to caring for plants & cuttings if you want to learn more before getting started:

And there's more...

► Once your plants have grown you can take your own cuttings from the big plants and grow more plants for your special green... How awesome is that!?

This is how our family has grown our big succulent and indigenous garden in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Cape in South Africa.
