    This was 1 of 10+ plants i ordered with expedited shipping. It is 2 1/2 months later. This plant arrived, bigger than what I expected, nice sized and healthy root system. This one was not phases in the least with being shipped. Within 3 weeks it had pushed out a new leaf and the root system is insane at this point. I could have put it in a bigger pot when it arrived but did not want to risk rot issues after shipping but as of tommorow I have to pot it up a size because that is how wildly the root system has taken off. So very very happy with this beauty. A big, strong and beautiful anthurium

    The plant came in perfect condition – roots healthy, leaves healthy, after only a week it started growing. Only the size of the seedling surprised me a little, because the size of the plant is quite small for a “normal” size – more like a small size. However, it is beautiful and is already growing, so overall I am very satisfied.

    Ordered with a seedling and it was the same size, not a medium. It came dead.

    Arrived in good condition with 5 small sized leaves. This plant released a leaf 2 times larger than the previous one. A new one has just come out and I hope it will be even bigger. Very nice anthurium!

    I’ve had it for about two weeks and It’s still as perfect as when it came.

    This plant hands down traveled the best from my recent order. Lots of roots that look pretty good, though I did trim some soft ones off. The largest leaf died off after a week, but a new leaf is already coming in.

    Beautiful specimen, medium just as advertised and healthy. Had to cut one leaf off but otherwise so very happy with it. Roots super viable.

    This plant is gorgeous and the main reason why I placed my order! The root system is phenomenal and its older leaf is stunning, so I hope the plant finds the strength to hold onto it for longer!

  9. Capri Chelgren (verified owner)

    Ordered seedlings of other anthuriums and this was the same size, NOT a medium. Roots were about as grown out as the seedlings as well. Still a great price.

    This is definitely one of my favorite Anthurium varieties. The green with the red backsides & stems are absolutely gorgeous so when I took the plant out of the bag I was a bit dissatisfied that the only 2 big leaves were both damaged due to shipping. However its still a healthy specimen. Roots are beautifully white. I think Ecuagenera could do a little better job protecting the delicate leaves with Polyfil. I would definitely order another one though. You can check out my Ecuagenera specimens on my Instagram plant page @tiffmarieplants.

    Plant itself is very beautiful and has a healthy rootsystem. The leafsize was a bit small for a “normal” sized besseae but after asking this mine was just a bit at te lower end of the range for this plant. Overall very happy ofcourse and i cant wait for it first new leaf!

    ArrivÈe en en bon etat, quelque dommage sur les feuilles mais rien de grave, et elle s’acclimate trËs bien et trËs vite

  13. Karolina Czempas (verified owner)

    Highly recommend this plant. Strong, healthy root system, 3 nice leaves and after a month I have new big and beautiful leaf. Heat pack is great idea on winter, thank you for your better pack system.

  14. Lauren Gaskill (verified owner)

    Did suffer from shipping and is acclimating died back to only a few leaves and happened to come smaller than the others I ordered. Still a great buy considering its rarity in the states.

  15. Leslie Mayfield-Nunnally (verified owner)

    Arrived well. Nice leaves. Acclimated well. Potting it up now. Using chunky soil mix.

  16. anely martin (verified owner)

    Healthy roots with sign of rot. The leaves arrived in good condition unfortunately the next morning I lost the newest bigger leaf due to cold damage. The package was 2 days with the post from Germany to Austria and had a heat pack. It was unfortunately not enough, so I removed 1star. Otherwise the plants are all fine. So I’m still very happy.

    I pre-ordered this plant and picked it up at a pop-up. The plant is well sized, has beautiful leaves and a strong healthy root system. It was also well packaged in a plastic sleeve with the roots in damp sphagnum moss wrapped in saran wrap. Very happy!

  18. Flora Soule (verified owner)

    Nice plant arrived and itís kept all its leaves!

  19. Eve Edwards (verified owner)

    Lovely large plant, thick root system. Shipped well to UK and acclimating great. Gorgeous shimmer on leaves

  20. Simon Wilk (verified owner)

    My new favorite Anthurium has this slight shimmer to it. Looks great, shipped okish and is acclimating quite well to its new home. Love it!

  21. Hannah Hofmann (verified owner)

    Received a healthy and beautiful plant – the customer service was super friendly and helpful!

  22. Paul Michael Richardson (verified owner)

    Though this isn’t a true Besseae, this “aff” form deserves its own identification. It is gorgeous. This plant arrived healthy with absolutely no leaf damage. The plant I was shipped had a substantial root system with no sign of any die off. I am very please with this stunning specimen. If you like dark, lush, velvety leaves then this one is not a plant you should miss out on.

  23. Dalia Jocyte (verified owner)

    Plant arrived fast to Lithuania without damages to leaves. Roots are very decent and health to support plant adaptation and thurther growth. It’s been 3rd week of adaptation in my conditions (60-65% humidity, 12 h under full spectrum growth light) all good so far. Actually plant is pushing out “flower” already. Love this plant coz of luxury deep green leaves.

  24. Yuka Shimotori (verified owner)

    I bought it with El Choco during the sale and arrived in Italy safely for 3 days. The mine was a little smaller than expected with two leaves and healthy roots. But , as I commented elsewhere, this shouldn’t be too discouraging if the plants you receive are large or small, more or less leafy, or yours aren’t better than expected. Almost random luck. Anyway my plants are small but healthy roots system and good condition.

  25. Willemke Hamstra (verified owner)

    I received a beautiful plant, but I’m guessing the species is very variable because it doesn’t really resemble the pictures too much. Still gorgeous and in great shape

  26. Tristan Bennett (verified owner)

    It arrived with five leaves on a big old stem, one of the leaves being the size of my hand, about 6 inches long, 4 wide. It had a huge healthy root system and the leaves are just impossible to do anything but stare at!

  27. Kathleen McCloy (verified owner)

    When it arrived, I was so pleased I had made this purchase. First off the plant was in great shape. Minimal transit damage on the leaves and a healthy root system. However the plant is so pretty and photo you see on this site does not do it do it any favours. It has acclimated well and a new leaf is on the way.

  28. Candi martin (verified owner)

    Arrived well packaged with beautiful healthy leaves and roots. Never lost any leaves and is thriving. Leaves are such a beautiful iridescent green. I totally agree this plant is underrated. A must for the anthurium collection. Will purchase again. Love Equagenera!

  29. ASHLEY NUSSMAN-BERRY (verified owner)

    This plant arrived perfectly and faster than I expected! Highly recommend. I placed it in my cabinet that has temps and humidity 70+ and it’s doing amazing. It travelled very well and the leaves are nice and thick. It did not disappoint. I definitely want to buy a second one. USA YouTube.com/melaninplanter Instagram.com/melaninplanter

    The shimmering of the leaves is very special. Wondering why it is so cheap. One of the most beautiful Anthuriums I saw by the leave color. The plant itself shipped nicely, intact roots, and the leaves are also OK.

    Location: Singapore No, photos don’t do justice to this plant at all!! I received a rather big specimen with 4 leaves, 1 large leaf. Zero shipping stress, very robust root system. Leaves are thick, leathery and has a subtle blue shimmer that makes it so attractive!! At this price, I say it’s a must buy. Thanks Team Ecuagenera!!

  32. Slavita Laies (verified owner)

    I love my A. Balaoanum! arrived healthy and beautiful!! I am happy to watch it grow into a mature plant!

  33. Jennifer Widmann (verified owner)

    This has been on my wishlist for ages. Came in perfect condition, packaged really, really well and came with healthy roots. It’s been in transport for a week to Switzerland and still looks brand new. Once again, super happy with Ecuagenera.

  34. Tegan Bertelmann-Hunt (verified owner)

    This is by far the most gorgeous plant I own. It’s sparkly and iridescent and every time I look at it I notice something new. The plant I got arrived small, with only three leaves and a very small, but healthy, root system. It took longer to acclimate than the other imports, but suffered minimal damage from shipping, losing only the tip of the largest leaf. It’s been a month since it arrived, and it is just starting to put out a new leaf, I’m excited to see how this plant develops! This is an excellent plant! So underrated!

  35. KOK PHANG (verified owner)

    Received large specimen. Almost 50cm large 2 leaf. Mind blowing! So happy with this buy. Thank you again Ecuagenera Team.

  36. KOK PHANG (verified owner)

    Didn’t expect it came without any leaf damage or root rots due to long shipping journey. Kudos to Ecuagenera’s improved shipping packing care. I bought another same plant when available. I am obsessed with this exotic “stunning” beauty.

  37. Janel Quoc (verified owner)

    This anthurium besseae aff came in wonderful condition with two leaves and plent of healthy roots. I would say it resembles the photo on the listing very closely in terms of size. Leaves are beautiful and dark, and the shape is so charming. Really happy with my purchase. Plant has been potted up and looking happy the past few weeks. For reference, I’m in California and opted for the upgraded shipping when asked.

  38. Alexander Fˆrderer (verified owner)

    Got this plant in good condition and a decent size (largest leaf 15cm long). It has since been a fast grower and the leaf jumps are IMPRESSIVE! Within 6 months it has produced 5 new leaves, with the most recent leaf now 70cm long! Very fast grower! The leaves are still longer than wider and are in between the adult shape and the juvenile shape (with which it arrived). The newly forming leaves are very pale green (almost ghost-like) and have a metallic sheen to them. Really stunning! Only added it to my order due to the friendly price tag, but it truly turned out to be high up rank with my more sought-after king, queen and regal anthuriums and whatever you call them.

  39. Jose Ballesteros (verified owner)

    I received a very beautiful and healthy plant. It had two medium size leafs in perfect condition and a great and healthy root system. After two weeks at home it started growing a new leaf. Super happy with this plant.

  40. Johanna Roth (verified owner)

    Amazing plant, so beautiful and almost perfect condition even though it travelled all the way to Sweden. Bigger than I expected!

  41. Amanda Cabellon (verified owner)

    Shipped wonderfully to US west coast, even in the cold. Super healthy roots and no yellowed leaves. Potted up right away, acclimated quickly, and started rooting quickly as well.

  42. Gernett Wint (verified owner)

    This anthurium is underrated. It is shimmery with dark veining that is barely perceptible. This is a plant that needs to be viewed from up close My plant arrived with good roots and is happy and healthy.

  43. Michael Green (verified owner)

    Received two A. Bomboisence, both in great condition with healthy root systems. They’ve settled right in without any fuss. The leaves of this plant have a beautiful deep shimmer as photographed. Would purchase again and recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing.

  44. Tom Bemmel (verified owner)

    Well rooted and nice sized plant. Travelled well

  45. Kayla Janecek (verified owner)

    My order arrived 8 days late with freezing temps (even with Express upgrade) and amazingly, there were no leaves lost. About half of the roots were lost, but it’s already putting out a new leaf. It did come quite a bit smaller than the photos which was slightly disappointing. Still a good value though

  46. Mikhail Krovokov (verified owner)

    I must say, this anthurium travels very well. Last month I had 3 arrive in my shipment, which arrived 8 days late and they were looking surprisingly well. The roots took a blow, but will bounce back. 2 of the 3 lost no foliage. 1 of them had immaculate foliage but no roots, so now after 2 weeks in acclimation it is dropping all the leaves, which is sad. I give 4 stars for how sturdy this travels.

  47. Alejandra Herman (verified owner)

    It came with two leaves. A new one is coming out. She needs a lot of humidity. Very happy!!

  48. Jimmy Lee (verified owner)

    Leaves appear to have serious fungal infections when I recieve it. I wish I can post a photo here. The roots are fine

  49. Flora Soule (verified owner)

    Nice plant arrived and it’s kept all its leaves!

    I love my A. Balaoanum! arrived healthy and beautiful!! I am happy to watch it grow into a mature plant!
