I’m giving 4 stars because the plant is alive and has potential, but I expected it to recover a bit better after arrival. I still appreciate the quality and the care in packaging, and I hope it will continue to improve with time.
Nice healthy plant…looking forward to seeing it bloom.
I have ordered from Ecuagenera several times and the orchids are well packed and in good health, often larger plants that I expected!
