Beautiful healthy plant, fast shipping , Thank you
Plants are slowly recovering from the extreme stress of spending a full week in a dark box. Plants are slowly recovering.
The plant in the photo is much more mature than the plant I received. I’m not unhappy, just noting the difference in leaf shape and size. Arrived safely and nicely packaged.
The plant came very nicely packaged and it arrived safely. The plant is lovely and has nice coloring, it is smaller than I expected from the photo. While I understand I am not purchasing the plant in the photo, I do expect the same-ish level of maturity. The leaves in the photo show a much larger leaf than the plant I received. The plant is lovely, I just dont know that I would pay $60 for this particular specimen.
This is my fourth slipper orchid from Ecuagenera. 5 big fans and a bunch of teeny ones coming. It's already pushing out growth. Very healthy and big. Two of my previous purchases were in spike. It's possible this one is too. It's wonderful to purchase bloom size plants. Selection is amazing and rare plants become consistently available. Will purchase again from this supplier. Packaging was great, the crown was well protected. It was in the 20's on delivery day morning and there was no thermal damage. I did repot the same day as delivery (a judgement call on my part that voided the warranty) and the plant hasn't skipped a beat.
