Why are you buying them from someone instead of buying them from the store? Hong Kong Market and Heb have them. If you want to grow them they have been treated to not sprout, so you have to deal with that. I'm trialing a vitamin c (ascorbic acid) bath before planting.

Rispa is correct. These are really easy to get in Houston. H mart or any of the other Asian markets will have bunches. While you are there look for other things you can propagate as well. Their produce sections are essentially nurseries. D

Wow! I didn't know that. Unfortunately, I don't live in the US and I need them sent to a courier who can bring it to my country. I really wish I had as easy access to some of these plants as you describe!

Is the courier someone you know? Could they pick up the material for you?

No, I'm afraid the courier doesn't offer that kind of service. I'll see what I can do. Thanks very much for the advice.
