    This plant arrived with yellowing leaves, not very many roots, and the roots were very dry. It did not acclimate well at all and eventually died. Ecuagenera replaced the plant and it died AGAIN!

  2. Liav Segev (verified owner)

    The plant arrived with a dried root system with yellow leaves. Tried to rehab it without cutting the nodes but it failed (when i did cut it was too late)

  3. Jamie Curry (verified owner)

    Tried this plant twice from Ecuagenera and it is just hard to acclimate and grow. Shipped terrible the first time and the plant was doomed from the start. Shipped well the second time but spider mites is an issue this time.

    Shipped well to Portugal. Planted it a few days later and it’s pushing new growth already after a week. Plant came healthy

  5. Nick Bouton (verified owner)

    Packaged well and plant looked great upon arrival, but within a day the lowest leaf was yellowing and 72 hours 3/4 leaves are partially or fully yellow, and the bottom one has already dropped. I’m going to chop and prop as well as take the top cutting just to try and save it. Otherwise, still a beautiful plant, but I’ve had an easier time acclimating similar plants like P. squamicaule and P. serpens.

    when I took the plant out of the box, there was very little yellowing of the leaves or wilt. but within 24 hours, the leaves began wilting and dropping even in a humidity box and soaking in water. it is down to part of the stem as parts of the long stem began rotting.

    This product arrived in very poor condition. There were two plants in the package, but this one was far worse than the other. All 4 leaves had yellowed and fallen off during transit. The sphagnum moss surrounding the roots was totally dry. Hoping I can salvage this plant, but it’s not looking good.

    Decent size plant. lost some roots, had some yellow leaves but nice fuzzy stems.

    Karla has been kind and amazing throughout this process. Philodendron Fibrosum was my first purchase with this company. Since I have ordered three more times. I got the plant it was not in good shape. Karla told me what to do to rehab the plant. I followed to the letter and it still could not survive. I reached out with images weekly and finally holding on to a stick she told me she would replace the plant. I was very very impressed. This is a business and you take a risk buying an import. But their willingness to make it right for the customer really impressed me. Thank you Karla for your excellent customer care. I will buy from Ecuagenera often.

    1. plant came without fuzzy petiole. wonder if they shipped correct plant 2. plant came with broken stem into 2 parts. have emailed with photos and hope they get back with satisfactory reply soon

    I’ve read some reviews and heard from friends that this plant isn’t a great shipper and is difficult to acclimate but I’ve found both those statements to be false in my case. I purchased two of these just in case one doesn’t survive, but I’m happy to say that both are thriving and have given me new leaves in just under two months. If you were deciding on which fuzzy petioled plant to buy, I would definitely recommend this one and the serpens. Both shipped very well and acclimated quickly.

  12. Bryan Peralta (verified owner)

    This plant doesn’t ship well at all. It will lose all leaves and it will take forever to acclimate.

  13. Jessica Arons (verified owner)

    Ordered two of this plant, both came with roots, one specimen particularly awkward and large but that’s the beauty with Ecuagenera, you’ll receive very unique specimens each time. Collectors plant, needs water right away out of the box!

  14. Amanda Cabellon (verified owner)

    I love this plant. It shipped to US, west coast VERY quickly. Arrived with two leaves and lost one. Roots were, ok, and after a few weeks started growing back very healthy roots. New leaf is on the way.

  15. Johanna Roth (verified owner)

    A beautiful healthy plant, som shipping damage but that is only to be expected. 🙂

  16. Teju Adeyemi (verified owner)

    Specimen have been quite small and difficult to grow. It seems they don’t ship well. Between this and the “fibrosum type,” I’ve attempted cultivation 4x. My latest purchase of “fibrosum type” will be my last attempt. If not, hoping to donate any remaining wet sticks to my local conservatory and hope they thrive in that environment.

  17. Chelsey Barboza (verified owner)

    I love this plant! The fuzzy petioles are so cool! My plant arrived in good condition with 2 leaves and one oon the way. I just ordered another one because I love it and you can’t beat the price!

  18. Chelsea Sicat (verified owner)

    Inadequate packaging caused extensive root rot and many wilted leaves. The box arrived with one end ripped open, so the heat pack they included in the box stood no chance. One of the fibrosums I ordered was huge but the stem was snapped in half because it wasn’t packaged with enough padding. The other fibrosum had a soft wet spot in the middle of one of its leaves. All the roots were rotten.

  19. Andreia Santos (verified owner)

    Amazing looking plant, healthy, grows like a week even in winter. Arrived with a bit of leaf damage, which is to be expected, but the roots were great and recovered really well, even put out a new leaf few weeks later

  20. Ivan Ugrin (verified owner)

    Arrived mid January. I was afraid it will get damaged by the lower temperatures, but there was no sign of damage whatsoever. It was well packaged and well secured inside the package. Plant arrived as advertised (same as last pictures of the advert). Last leaf unfolded in the transport and is looking very lovely. Iím very satisfied !

  21. Arthur Cabinian (verified owner)

    Got this plant awhile ago. Although the leaves and roots seem to be in good condition, it was way smaller than what is published. Packaging was excellent.

  22. Roxana Watson (verified owner)

    The plants itself was healthy and beautiful , however due to poor packaging and a spell of very cold weather, the leaves have been pretty severely damaged. All in all wonderful company and very healthy lovely plants but had inappropriate packaging.

  23. Sophie Lott (verified owner)

    Arrived in awesome condition. There were no issues with the leaves and it just needed a little trimming of the roots. I wish I got two, I look forward to ordering again.

  24. PRISCO ACEVEDO (verified owner)

    These lost all their leaves from shipping, and are in the emergency room. Did not arrive well. I’ve ordered over 20+ aroids and honestly it is hit or miss. I would say 1/4 arrives in acceptable condition meaning the stem is easily salvageable. Maybe it’s packaging or the time traveling, but I always lose most of the leaves. Plants arrive in sphagnum moss wrapped in plastic. If you order from the USA, be aware you will probably not get what you see. That’s why the prices reflect it. These are prices for rehabs. I have unpacking videos on youtube @ Austin Green Earth.

    My fibrosum arrived today with 3 perfect, smallish leaves with another on the way soon, lovely roots and seriously the most *gorgeous* petioles. Shaggy, thick, bright green petioles that remind me of a woodland moss. I could hardly take my eyes off of it all afternoon I expected a more fragile plant in need of rehab but this one arrived looking flawless and I only expect it to get better with time!

  26. Sharon Dunlap (verified owner)

    Ordered this plant before the weather became to hot for shipping. It came in perfect condition. Has pushed two new leaves in the month and a half that I have had it. My favorite wishlist plant.

  27. Andrea Healey (verified owner)

    The plant was way smaller then expected, all the leaves are fried. It was wrapped in bone dry sphagnum to top it all off, not impressed with my first order from this company.

  28. Samantha Foland (verified owner)

    Based on the pictures, I expected a small plant with a couple leaves. I received a large stem with multiple nodes and growth points. I think I could chopped this bad boy up and get 4 plants. Like others have stated, it doesn’t travel well, it was a little beat up. It had a great root system on it and that’s what matters to me. I’m happy with my purchase. The communication from the seller about my order was fantastic. I was so please with my first order that I order a couple more plants.

  29. Christin Kemmer (verified owner)

    It arrived in good condition with minimal damage. Leaves were slightly beat up, but that is to be expected with thin leaves like that! The roots were kind of small and showed no new growth. I have been careful not to overwater because of this. Overall super happy to find this amazing rare beauty! My unboxing video can be found here of the product: https://youtu.be/ksqw8x4Siv8

  30. Jacqueline Hansen (verified owner)

    I’m very happy with my purchase. Yes, the very delicate leaves were beat up as any plant that is shipped will have damage. The price is very good and the damaged leaves were removed and others will grow in. The most important thing is the roots, which are very good! Thank you

  31. Alden Davis (verified owner)

    I picked up my order at a local show, and this is the only plant that didn’t handle travel very well. Came with two leaves and a third starting, and I’ve had to remove one as it completely wilted & had lost most of the hair on the petiole. However, the stem and roots are healthy, and so far it looks like the other leaves will hang on. My understanding is that this plant doesn’t travel well in general, to be fair. Overall, very happy with this plant, and the rest of my order was perfect! Will definitely order again.

  32. Ashley Respress (verified owner)

    Plant was dramatic from shipping. It has since bounced back after letting it soak overnight in water. Beautiful specimen with very fuzzy petioles.

  33. Thomas Gentiluomo (verified owner)

    The plant was very poor with Yellow and wilted leaves even the stems where drooping. It looked dead but I clean him up and potted it anyway in the hopes it has a will to live. But next day it was completely dead.

    The plant came in good shape. Its still a work in progress. Only one leaf has yellowed so far but it was the oldest leaf. Otherwise the plant is gorgeous.
