What is catching your eye that you want? There are a few decent mail-order nurserys in South/Central Florida that have hard to find plants. |

Re: Anyone ever get plants from here?
I wouldn't order from any website that does not give their location. But from some of the banana name I think they are in Thailand or Asia at lest.

These: aren't even heliconias, as alleged, but, are probably rare cultivars of calathea crotalifera. If I were guaranteed healthy plants, I would jump at the chance to buy them. |

Re: Anyone ever get plants from here?
I don't know about $90 phytos but I have gotten lots of things from Thailand and the phyto was around$20. My boxes were opened inspected and resealed by customs. This company is on many tropical forums and knowledge of their location is common knowledge across that spectrum. You should research the tropical forums.

Re: Anyone ever get plants from here?
Only time I have managed to root banana corms from Thailand, is by using BK interplants, they use imidachloprid on their corms, which is a insecticide solution, some of the corms I have received from them haven't been in great condition, but they always root for me,
comparing to other plants nurseries in Thailand which I have used in the past, when I planted the corms they just rotted no matter how good the corm looked. Last edited by mushtaq86 : 09-03-2018 at 01:53 PM. |
