    The plant arrived in perfect condition. Not a single dropped leaf in the box. The roots were healthy. It has been in my care for a month and is doing well. I am very happy with the plant.

    This plant came super healthy with not a blemish on her. This plant though is not for the beginner. Read up all you can on it. It requires high humidity and drops in temperature at night which is a tricky thing to balance. That aside this plant is absolutely beautiful. As always the kind people of Ecuagenera (thank you Karla) do an amazing job at picking out plants.

    received a beautiful specimen but I may have done an irreversible mistake of not hydrating it enough before planting. Nonetheless, if I fail I will try again next time. Received a healthy specimen.

    Unfortunately this plant was shipped when the weather was way too hot. I guess ecuagenera was experiencing a backlog of orders and this was not shipped until the beginning of August (I ordered at the end of June). The temps were in the hi 90’s low 100’s in my area when it was shipped. The plant sent to me was very large, but a lot of the foliage was turning brown and since then (2 weeks later) I have lost about 75-80% of the foliage and probably 50% of the root system. Hopefully, it will recover. I think if it had shipped in cooler weather (not at the height of a heat wave) the plant would have arrived in much better condition.

    I ordered two of these…great quality as always from Ecuagenera. Upon unpacking, I put them in a moist coconut fiber/perlite/sphagnum mix…Unfortunately one of the plants seems not to be doing too well, so I took a bunch of cuttings (hoping that the cuttings root in sphagnum under lights). The other plant is doing ok, as I keep it wet. Despite the humidity of my New Jersey spring/summers, I do not think these plants do well in hot weather. It might be nice if Ecuagenera provides optimal culture conditions for some of these more finicky genera.

    I purchased this plant at one of the USA shows (pre-COVID). It is doing very well in my greenhouse and has bloomed for the past 2 years. No berries because I have no humming birds in the greenhouse. LOL! I have it hanging in a shady area that stays about 70 F during the day and does not go below 60F at night. Grows slowly, so I want to buy 2 more to make a large hanging basket.

    Stressed by travel and lost 50% of its leaves during travel. Getting worse daily in my care and don’t know if it’ll recover. Good in size though.

    This is SUCH a beautiful plant. It was shipped quickly and packaged perfectly. I could not be happier. You are my preferred source for all things tropical. Can not wait for my next order to arrive.

    Although I am happy with size/quality of the three plants that I ordered, it seems that two of them had a tough transit to the USA SEPOS show as they were losing a few leaves (which is not unexpected). I am trying to grow them under various conditions and after the spring, I will review again.

    Einwandfreie Pflanze und super verpackt. Die Firma ist nur zu empfehlen. Die Sprachschwierigkeiten bei der Bestellung, nur Englisch kein Spanisch, lassen sich ¸berwinden. Die Bewertung l‰flt sich erstaunlicher Weise in Deutsch abgeben.

    It was a very quick delivery time and it came well packaged and protected. It still had a healthy amount of leaves when I received it. Much larger than I expected. I’m excited for it to produce flowers.

    Just purchased at a show, so no growing experience yet, but large, healthy and unique plant

    The leaves had fallen off there when I received it. It seems that air permeability is important for this variety, so it may be vulnerable to transportation.It was supposed to be a Big size, but it was not as big as I expected.
