Thanks for the tip TS. I think you're right and I realized that. I've repotted them again and give them a little more space between each other now.

Yes, I repotted them myself. Came bare root. It cost me approximately RM186.00 plus postage. It was 37.50 Euro. I bought 16 3-year-old plants. This means each plant is R11.63. I use standard mail.

You can buy from the nursery smaller or younger plants at 0.50 Euro each. I just had to have the big plants, ie. 3-year old plants.

malowie,

forgot to answer your other question earlier. Yes, I pay the nursery via paypal. By the way, you've got to add 4% service charge if you are paying via paypal.
