Crinum Thaianum availability in the UK

[aquaticksolutions]

I remember keeping Crinum Thaianum when I was in my early 20s and loved its prolific growth and durability. I remember cutting back meters of it on a regular basis and it withstanding some pretty herbivorous residents. I now keep geophagus and would love to keep some crinum thaianum again but it appears that over the last 2 years it has proven challenging to get hold of. My LFS informed me that it is now a protected species and cannot be exported from Thailand and that those available are often a similar looking African species. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this and if anyone happens to cultivate their own in the UK that I could get in touch with? Would really appreciate the help, thanks,
Joel

tropica produce it so it should be very easy to find. I’ve found it to be readily available.

One of the forums sponsors stocks it Buy Crinum Thaianum Bulb AKA Onion Plant - For Sale Aquarium Gardens

It was showing as in stock but not when I tried adding it to basket, so worth contacting the guys who can tell you how easy it is to get hold of/when more are expected.

I have crinum thaianum in my tank. Lovely plant i brought mine with an order of plants from javaplants. Was a tropica plant and readily available. I know that plant sellers are getting restocked and covid-19 has caused alot of things to be backlogged.
