I was not impressed with the quality of this plant - roots were good but the leaves had several places that had been cut back I'm sure due to imperfections in their growing conditions. It was probably the last one on the bench since it is now out of stock. However the paph they sent was much better. Delivery times were very good.
Don’t know if the plant will ever produce the white flowers advertised
The orchid plant I ordered exceeded my expectations. It arrived securely packaged, and in good condition. I was pleasantly surprised at its size and healthy condition. I will continue buying orchids from Ecuagenera.
