    Does NOT ship well. Plant came in all dried. No possible way of recovery. Will buy another but locally.

  2. – Shinko Tsuchiya (verified owner)

    This was my 1st time ordering from Ecuagenera and it was a bit disappointing. All of the leaves were yellowing and turning brown. Like the Verrucosum, I’m contemplating cutting it up. The stem was kind of shriveled up on this one as well, so I’m not sure how viable the nodes would be. Like the other 4 Philodendrons I ordered from here, they all had significant root rot.

  3. – Reynante Sayson (verified owner)

    It has 3 leaves and all of them turned yellow. Not good! Should be named “El Choco Yellow”

  4. – Asta Stankunaite (verified owner)

    ? read that this plant ships not so well, bet decided to risk. After long journey to Lithuania it came with excellent roots, leaves were starting to get yellow, but after succesful acclimation – already growing second new leaf ant old Ones also stayed in quite good condition.

  5. – Emily Bailer (verified owner)

    after reading the reviews i was a bit worried, it lost 2 out of 4 leaves in transit but the new leaves look good, and itís bigger than i expected. after some water itís already perked up

    Die Pflanze kam in sehr gutem Zustand an. Die Wurzeln sahen gut aus. Die beiden Bl‰tter haben drei kleine Macken, was man aber bei so einem langen Transportweg schon in Kauf nehmen sollte. Mich stˆrt es nicht und das dritte Blatt ist auf dem Weg. Abgesehen davon, ist sie doch g¸nstiger als in so manch anderen L‰den.

    This came and was smaller size chonk and the roots attached were very very fine and did not survive the trip. I understand rehab is always possible with imports but this thing has proved to be a slow slow rehab. It is 5 months after I received it and I finally have growth and multiple leaves again. Based on its root growth which are just small and fine I just feel like it is not quite as strong a plant as a lot of other Philodendron but it is alive still and actively growing bso overall I am happy but may not be the plant for someone that isn’t good with rehabs and patience

    Plant leaves were all dead. Seem like weather were the passes they was too hit for it

  9. – Raquel Rossetti (verified owner)

    no yellow or crisp parts on the big beautiful leaves. Wasn’t expecting the roots to be in cocos. That was a bit harder for potting it into other soil, but that’s it.

  10. – Jolina Joyce (verified owner)

    I ordered this for preorder for a pop up. The leaves were completely yellow/brown. The new growth was also wrinkled and dry. The roots were rotted and completely brown. I tried to exchange it at the pop up but was told the plant was fine so he couldnít do anything about it. I was hoping heíd exchange it since they had so much stock both days of the pop up. I understand importing comes with a risk but I was expecting to at least leave the pop up with a healthy plant. Only good thing I can say is if my plant was healthy, they sent a decent medium size.

  11. – Katrina Drescher (verified owner)

    Not giving this plant 2 stars because of how great customer service was for me. My el choco came HUGE the first time around but all leaves were yellowed and stem/roots were rotted so they sent me another after I paid for 2 day shipping but unfortunately no leaves survived again. I was given a refund which is appreciated. just super sad this plant doesn’t ship well to me. if it does ship well to you and survive, you can count on a large, gorgeous plant for the price

  12. – Carolyn Tate (verified owner)

    The older leaves was not at their best , but the stem is healthy with a lot of new growth so I am not worried

  13. – Abby North (verified owner)

    Arrived with four leaves, two of which were yellowed and dead on arrival. Disappointing, but not a huge issue. One of the remaining leaves is a new leaf, still unfurling, and thereís a healthy growth point underneath it as well. Leaves were fairly small, but this is the medium so I suppose thatís alright. Root system was pretty small and mostly rotted, but this seems to be a pretty common experience when ordering rubrijuvenilles online. Itís been acclimating alright

  14. – Brittany Merth (verified owner)

    Dead plants are always a risk of importing, and all of the foliage has yellowed/browned and died off on this plant. I would not recommend importing this one for that reason–I have a stump now that I am eagerly awaiting new growth on. However, the plant was a VERY generous size, so if you get lucky with a good import, it’s a STEAL of a deal!

  15. – Valerie Severino (verified owner)

    I’m shocked it came so long and tall, was not expecting that.

  16. – Robin James (verified owner)

    I don’t understand what happened here, the roots were a combination of rotted and crispy. The leaves, which were big and several were all detached from the plant but 2. I sent 3 emails in so many days and no one has gotten back to me. This is my 2nd time ordering Ecuagenera. They were so fast and nice the first time I had problems, now I can get a response.

  17. – Laurent Fontenas (verified owner)

    I was anxious ordering this plant online, because I had heard about how fragile it is and how it doesn’t do well shipping. I ordered a few other plants in the same package and suprisingly enough, the Rubrijuvenile was one of those that arrived in the best shape ! A few bruises on the leaves, but the green is deep and the red is astonishing. A new growth even appeared 2 days after receiving. I’m not sure that every specimen would ship that well, but obviously the careful packing helped preserving it so well.

  18. – Hugo Concha (verified owner)

    Another bad experience with rotted roots. Don’t know what it is with their philodendrons but all that i ordered came rotted. Again was told to rehab even with pics included. Disappointing

  19. – Capri Chelgren (verified owner)

    The plant I received was large. Expectedly lost leaves but the root system is great. The size of the leaves that came with the plant was impressive.

  20. – Cynthia Ramirez (verified owner)

    I pre ordered this plant online along with others and picked her up from the pop up where I live. I was really disappointed when I got home and took off the sphagnum moss and found the new growth point very mushy and the newest leave already died off just after 2 weeks. I’m going to be left a stump.

  21. – Meredith Foley (verified owner)

    I ordered this and a verru Amazon Sunset, and this arrived in FAR better condition than the verru (not Ecua’s fault, verrus just hate being shipped). My choco needs some rehabbing BUT I was prepared for that!! She’ll be back to gorgeous within a couple of months. For the price you pay, it’s worth having to give them a little TLC. As always Ecua’s customer service is incredible and super helpful!! Will definitely be buying from them again.

  22. – Yingyun SU (verified owner)

    Arrived Jan and in perfect state. Some markings on the lower leaves but it is normal when buy plants online. The back of the leaves are beefy red, really nice to look at, especially on new leaf 🙂

  23. – Iwona Pryjomka (verified owner)

    El choco is little dificult but came in very good condition. Lost 2 leaves after week but than come another one. I can recommended :)thank you

  24. – Linda Lui (verified owner)

    I got the plant on March 9th and today is April 1st. It got a heatpack near the roots and great packaging. When it got sent later than expected, the service was fast and told me when it should be shipped. The roots and leaves still lock great. It came with three 22cm leaves. The leaves have a bit damage but for me it’s ok and she still looks beautiful. The cathaphyll hardened so it will be tricky to push the first leaf.. but I think she’ll manage that. 🙂 Would order again.

  25. – Tiffany Palm (verified owner)

    I bought this plant for the big beautiful leaves in the picture. When it arrived, my initial response was disappointment. It was much smaller than anticipated. It had what appeared to be fungus on the leaves. Once I opened up the bag & checked the roots they were all rotted. I’m currently trying to rehab it but its declining each day. I know velvety Philos don’t ship well but I felt this was an unhealthy specimen from the get go.

  26. – ana milena vente (verified owner)

    the plant arrived beautiful and healthy, the only bad thing is that it was small

  27. – Alejandra Perez Docampo (verified owner)

    LlegÛ algo mustio, se ve que tuvo shok de frÌo o no le gustÛ venir en una caja. De las 6 plantas q pedÌ, es el unico que no aguantÛ. Al dÌa siguiente de haberlo acomodado en su mamaceta, con sustrato especial para este tipo de plantas, humedad alta y buena temperatura, la planta se puso completamente lacia, caÌda hacia abajo completamente, las hojas arrugadas y con textura papel de fumar. A los 2 dÌas, sigue empeorando y tengo que cortar las hojas desde la base. Ahora tengo un simple nodo que no se si va a recuperar. Es la primera vez que compro a ecuagenera. No sÈ si voy a repetir, creo que es un riesgo traer plantas desde tan lejos.

  28. – Kendall Greer (verified owner)

    I knew this species was finicky but nothing like this. One leaf was dead and the roots were all rotted. I’m currently trying to regrow the roots but its proving to be quite difficult. Ecugenera customer service was very helpful when I reached out to them about it. I agreed to attempt to reroot the plant and go from there. If you do get this plant, maybe get it from an Ecuagenera pop-up nearby so it doesn’t have to be shipped and stressed like mine was.

  29. – Kaysha Hunt (verified owner)

    It shipped all the way to CaliforniaÖ Showed up with 5 big leavesÖ 4 were very yellow and dropped within a week. It then pushed out a new leaf that is bigger, more vibrant and flawless. Itís growing new rootsÖ had a nice rootball to begin withÖonly a few mushy tips that I cut offÖ it looks ready to transfer to soil. I acclimated it in water. I did superthrive water the first weekÖ changing daily. Very happy with this big beautiful plant.

  30. – Angelita Vasquez (verified owner)

    pretty great condition for such a long travel! a week in and i have only lost 1/3 leaves, the other two are doing good and not showing any signs of dropping. there was a new leaf coming in upon arrival and that is doing fine as well. can’t wait for full acclimation & new growth!

  31. – Theresa Chandler (verified owner)

    All the reviews I read said these plants do not ship well so I was not expecting a whole lot. Mine arrived looking gorgeous with roots in ok shape. I ended up having to cut off the leaves but so far the large chonk is doing ok after 10 days. Hopefully it survives.

  32. – YU WANG (verified owner)

    Died after a month. Got root rot upon arrival, I thought I could save it. Put it in my ikea cabinet with humidity around 70~90, but it still not showing it’s going back. Very disappointed.

  33. – Michelle Ho (verified owner)

    Even thought some of the leaves are scarred, the plant is in tact overall. It appears to be a more mature specimen compared to previous choco red I purchased from another Ecuadorian supplier, at the same price.

  34. – Yee Khung (Michael) Lim (verified owner)

    the other leaf looks quite battered but surviving. doesn’t appear to ship well

  35. – Lisa Dawson (verified owner)

    I ordered this plant in the November 2021 sale. I just received it today Jan. 13, 2022 and I received a dead plant. Roots are dried and rotted. Four leaves and 2 are completely yellow, with a 3rd leaf starting to show signs of yellowing. They need to let you know in the description the condition this plant will possibly arrive in. There are too many reviews of buyers with the same issues.

  36. – Gabriel Galdamez (verified owner)

    I’ve purchased 3 times from Ecuagenera and, unfortunately, I’m finding the Philodendron can be hit-or-miss. While my Anthuriums have ALL shipped and acclimated beautifully, the two Chocos I ordered both arrived with 2 dead leaves and OK root systems. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and proceeded with acclimating, potting and trying to care for. Even though I’m an experienced plant parent and importer, I am down to a stump and a sad 1 leaf plant. Really disappointing but my latest order the Anthuriums were nearly flawless and again the Philodendron were so-so.

  37. – KATIE ALTHOFF (verified owner)

    I purchased from a pop up in Dallas and was extremely hesitant at the time due to the shape it was in and the fact that it was significantly more expensive than it is listed here but I was excited and hopeful. All 3 leaves were dead within a few days but I knew it was distressed. I definitely should have gone back the following day to swap it out like I initially planned to do because I am down to a nub much like the other people who purchased at this pop up. Our local Facebook page has been helpful but somehow everyone that purchased this plant has the same problem and they are all dying a slow and painful death. Only been a few weeks but I’m losing hope lol

  38. – Victoria Grapsidou (verified owner)

    I have ordered this beautiful plant in September it came from Ecuagenera Europe since I live in Thessaloniki,Greece. Excellent condition 4 leaves with no sign of shipping stress and a pristine root system. It’s now the end of December and it pushes a new leaf which is ruby red and seems from the cataphyll that it’ll be huge! Not a finicky plant at all. Lives well in 50% humidity in an airy potting mix . I’m very satisfied from Ecuagenera stuff and company as they provide answers to any information I ask them about every plant I have bought from them. Devoted customer of theirs!!

  39. – Kimberly Sarabia (verified owner)

    The leaves were in bad shape the day after I picked it up in the Chicago December pop up. It was a bit disappointing and would not recommend it if you want a plant that will be ready to pot

  40. – Roberta Fong (verified owner)

    This is my second El Choco Red order as my first died back to a node that is beginning to push out new growth. The current specimen is large with three healthy leaves and two yellowing leaves. It is currently in a clear plastic pot in sphagnum moss and has new root growth.

  41. – Amanda Tomcanyiova (verified owner)

    Large and beautiful plant with 5 big leaves and a new growth. Only 1 leaf turned yellow in transit. Very happy with it.

  42. – Victoria Grapsidou (verified owner)

    This beautiful plant came with 3 medium to big leafs and one on the way! Immaculate roots and since a month ago I’m watching it grow and prosper!

  43. – Paul Michael Richardson (verified owner)

    I was shipped a large specimen. I received three leaves with the largest being 8 inches in length. It had a substantial root system but about half of it was starting to dry out due to shipping. I think this was likely a beautiful plant when shipped, but in my experience, Verrucosum do NOT ship well — even with 2-day express upgrades. I had to remove 2/3 leaves upon arrival. This being said, I am still very pleased with the plant. When importing plants you assume a bit of rehabilitation and this is no different. She had rehabbed well in sphagnum moss and is putting out what I believe will be a very large new leaf.

  44. – Yoli Collazo (verified owner)

    This is a stunning plant. I lost two leaves in shipping but I immediately planted it into pon, I don’t always use pon, I prefer soil but when I get a delicate shipper like the verrucosum I do. Took away any dark roots, frankly there were not that many and the plant now is thriving. I have it grouped with other plants, it is not in an IKEA cabinet it just acclimated beautifully. For me personally, these imports potting them right away has worked. The longer they linger in water I think it’s a problem. I am in love with this verrucosum and the whole experience with ecuagenera continues to be amazing. Thank you Karla for always helping and keeping in touch.

  45. – Alejandro Chamorro (verified owner)

    I was a little skeptical of ordering a choco since I knew that they would arrive a rehab. However, the choco was amazing Can with with 5 leaves 1 little one yellowed in transit but from there it acclimated well to my rehab conditions and I didnít loose another leaf. I will definitely be back to buy another!

  46. – Kellie Smith (verified owner)

    I’ve gotten quite a few el choco reds. They are amazing and they come in great condition. Yes, there’s yellow leaves and yes you have to rehab but I don’t believe they are that difficult.

  47. – Yuka Shimotori (verified owner)

    Iím frequently buy some plants here and I bought El choco twice. The plants arrived perfect condition with big 4 leaves and took 3 days to Italy after received shipping notification from Ecuagenera. Previous time my El choco was too small with 2 leaves and dried quickly when it arrived eventually it is almost impossible to rehab and at last died.. I always think that it is a luck of chance to receive a very good condition of plants, but I understand the damage caused by temperature, humidity during the time of transport. Anyway thank you for beautiful gorgeous el choco this time!!!!

  48. – Alvin Wu (verified owner)

    Plant come with at least 80 percent root rot.. first purchase and quite disappointed with the condition. Out of 4 , 2 came with root rotting condition.. now hoping for the best and hope that it will overcome this…

  49. – Romy de Boer (verified owner)

    I love this one! Such beautiful velvet leafs. I received a plant with a big chunk, thick roots, 3 leafs bigger than my hand and one grow tip that is now after 3 weeks developing into a beautiful leaf. This one dit have a little crinckles from shipping but it doesn’t bother me too much. To be honest: I ordered 7 plants and they were all more than I hoped for ?

  50. – Erica Classey (verified owner)

    The leaves were in rough shape but overall the plant is perfectly fine.

  51. – lance takata (verified owner)

    The plant arrived in great condition all things considered I think. The 2 large leaves are healthy but there are very few roots from the “tuber”. I’ll rehab. the plant but overall very happy with this order of 5 plants.

  52. – Laurice Higham (verified owner)

    Received 2 plants in different orders. One had 3 HUGE leaves, one was lost in shipping. This lost some roots but overall was ok. Second had smaller leaves but decent roots.

  53. – Nemo Nguyen (verified owner)

    Another dead philodendron verrucossum. Received the plant with 3 leaves, 1 completely yellow, the other 2 leaves is 60% yellow. All the roots is rot. Now just have to re-roots, hopefully the 2 leaves have enough energy to push put some roots for new growth to emerge, Iím not optimistic.

  54. – Kimberly Lott (verified owner)

    I received a very large specimen with a large chunk of the rhizome. I am very pleased with what I saw. Knowing that El Choco Reds have a tricky history with travel I was prepared prior to purchase. This is my fourth purchase with Equagenera and all but one has survived. The plant that died was my error. I will purchase again and am happy with my purchase.

  55. – Michael Pagaduan (verified owner)

    it seems the plant is already on it’s way to dying, tried rehabing, but did not aclimate with only 1 leaf and not much roots to work with. I would stop ordering from ecuagenera going forward.

  56. – Nanda Sharif-pour (verified owner)

    Not happy. I purchased this plant in an order of 3 plants in August and received it in the first week of September. The plant had a good size rhizome, but the roots were all mushy and dead. The leaves were all dead and fell in the following few hours of opening the package. I contacted ecuagenera and was advised to plant the rhizome in coco fiber and put it in high humidity spot. I usually follow a soak, rehydrate and then reroot process for all of my imports and have had high success rate. However, this plant arrived in such a poor condition that none of my efforts was able to save it. The rhizome itself kept rotting and I had to chop and remove the rot a couple of times. At this point I am left with a chunk. At the end, I was offered a %40 discount on my next order. But I’m not sure if it’s the best solution. I paid for a grown plant and am left with a chunk and option of buying more plants with discount that is not guaranteed to arrive in better condition.

  57. – Steve Rosen (verified owner)

    I’ve ordered one of these El Choco. And then three more. They are a fantastic plant which traveled well for 3 out of 4. One had 2 bad leaves, but a new leaf coming and a sharp growth tip. All had nice a big “chonk” root with smaller roots. No mushy parts on the chonk. The first one, I put on a moss pole and it is doing great. The other 3, I put in water for one week and they are thriving. Soon to be on moss poles too. A hearty plant. Highly recommended.

  58. – Gernett Wint (verified owner)

    My plant arrived in Georgia USA looking healthy. It has not lost any leaves or wilted (unlike the verru2). It seems to be acclimating to my home. The underside of the leaf is not as red/blushed as I expected but that my happen as it matures?

  59. – Celina Chiodo (verified owner)

    I received an email confirming my order prior to shipment. The package came quickly. The plant was in great shape when it arrived. Did not require any rehab despite being an import. New roots grew quickly.

  60. – Anna Le (verified owner)

    Received two very large leaves and one on the way, both leaves were damaged one has a hole in it but that could be because I didn’t get expedited shipping. Risk worth taking

  61. – Theresa Haimerl (verified owner)

    I recieved a beautiful plant with three leaves, one was just unfurling. It also has a really nice red back and the roots look great. I really can recommend buying this plant! 🙂

  62. – Chee Peng Khoo (verified owner)

    Received a massive specimen with 3 leaves (all >30cm in length) and no signs of stress at all. It has only been with me for less than a week and is already pushing out a new leaf. Unfortunately it seems like mature plants do not have the red backs in their leaves.

  63. – Yuka Shimotori (verified owner)

    I purchased many plants in different time here and this time I purchased verrucosum5 and regale stripes. but these are bad condition I have ever received. About verrucosum5, all leaves are yellowish and dried then easily fallen. Regale has only 1 leaf which is already dried and need to cut it. Luckily both roots are not rotten but these small roots are very weak. I chose extra charge for fastest shipping but unfortunately plants are not wellÖIt was a very disappointing result this time because it was in good condition when I bought it last time.

  64. – R Wood (verified owner)

    I have been very generally pleased with my plant orders from Ecuagenera except the last shipment. I ordered 2 Verru 5 on separate occasion just a week apart. I received one with a rotten stem and both plants have yellowing leaves. I understand yellowing is due to shipping stress however I’ve bought from Ecuagenera before where plants arrived in pristine condition. I’m not very pleased.

  65. – Ryne Cheow (verified owner)

    Receive the plant with healthy foliage and roots and it acclimatised quickly and opened a new leaf within 2 weeks

  66. – Zachary Connolly (verified owner)

    This plant showed up shipped in a great condition and looked amazing. 2-3 big leaves. However, as others have stated, there really weren’t any roots able to sustain the plant in humidity levels below around 90%+. I lost all leaves within a week. If you don’t have enough room in your highest humidity boxes or chambers for the full plant out of the box (maybe 2.5′ high), I’d cut the leaves and throw the chonk in water to root it, then sphag. I’m about 4 months later and I now have a few small leaves and enough roots to migrate to moss. 4 stars for the price and beauty of the plant received. But had to take off 2 stars since, without roots, it can be a risk. However, added one star back for chonk size and rehab-ability 🙂

  67. – Tricia Knott (verified owner)

    I just received mine today, and though his leaves are huge, they are in pretty poor condition, which – to be fair, I live in Phoenix AZ and he came all the way from Florida via UPS ground. Most of his leaves will probably not recover, but his roots look ok, and he should be salvageable. For the price of this plant, I would certainly not hesitate to purchase again and recommend, however, I also recommend upgrading your shipping if you are more than a day or two transit time. Other than that, he was packaged with care, and I saw that in the way that the entire box was packed. I am still satisfied with my purchase.

  68. – Liz Pearson (verified owner)

    This plant is probably the best looking verru that I’ve recieved from ecuagenera. The roots are fine. It is in spaghum and will be there for a few weeks, but that is the norm for imported plants.

  69. – Kristine Catangui (verified owner)

    Quite pleased with the size of this plant when it arrived! The root system isn’t very good, but I found that it isn’t too difficult to re-root. I put mine in sphagnum moss and it rooted after a few weeks. I also did not experience any leaf loss, which is amazing, given that the root system it came with wasn’t very good to begin with. Overall, I’m very happy with this plant. Always wanted one and I’m excited to continue growing the one that I have.

  70. – Na Xiong (verified owner)

    Plant came in with 2 large leaves, 1 of which was yellow from shipping. The other is still acclimating so I will see what happens in the coming weeks. All the roots were not viable and definitely dead on arrival. Large Chonk, def room for rehabbing. Order if youre willing to rehab , if not don’t. Picture comparable to Plant received.

  71. – Yuxiao Wen (verified owner)

    Plants came with all roots rotted. There were two small leaves, one of which was completely yellow and the other one wilted in the next few days. I put the rest of the plant in sphagnum moss for rehabilitation. It’s been a month and half then. Nothing really happend and the rest of the vegetation started to die back. I’ve reached out to them for a replacement/refund, and was rejected immediately. I would not recommend taking the risk buying from them.

  72. – Ashley Sanger (verified owner)

    This has been in my care for a month and is big. It’s happy and healthy

  73. – Leslie Mayfield-Nunnally (verified owner)

    I ordered 3 plants they arrived ok. 1 was perfect. 1 had leaves but no roots. I put it in coco coir and directly in a green house. months later plant is beautiful. The third plant died down to the stump. I rehab it but leaves are very small and the plant still struggles.

  74. – Cynthia Vajda (verified owner)

    I repeat, they are huge! Im super happy! It was a little rot, a few leaf los, but nothing terrible. ?

  75. – Bianca Masudo (verified owner)

    Plant was wrapped in paper which was amazing as it did not allow for moisture to be trapped on the leaves. Plant had 4 leaves and one on the way. Of the 4 leaves, only one was slightly yellow due to transit. Roots were wonderful and Plant is acclimating well in my care. Would definitely recommend purchasing this plant as it meets most requirements: – heart shaped – velvety texture – Red back – sizes up quite fast

  76. – Bryan Peralta (verified owner)

    This doesn’t ship well and acclimate very slowly.

  77. – John Sabado (verified owner)

    I paid expedited shipping for this plant because I knew I would be out of town the following week. They still shipped via priority shipping and did not inform me and had to find out through the tracking number. I contacted them and they refunded me the cost of shipping. However, I had to intercept the package, pay $50, and had to reroute it because I would not be home. The plant finally arrive after a week and was completely dead.

  78. – Jeanice Manese (verified owner)

    each one came with at least 3-4 leaves, but only 1 will survive after a few days. not rooted, need to root and req

  79. – Jana Hlavkova (verified owner)

    Came with yellow leaves and rotted unfortunatelly soon after it was recieved.

  80. – Jacky Poh (verified owner)

    Came with alot of yellowing and broken leaves.. very unhappy with the Singapore shipment on 3rd of June 2021

  81. – Sam Patnaik (verified owner)

    I didn’t receive a big chunk but I am ok with it as the plant was medium sized with 4 leaves. Roots were ok, one leaf had yellowed and died regardless of express shipping, again not unexpected. The good thing is that the plant has acclimated well after the initial stress. I can see the specimen rooting already and the leaves look exactly as they arrived. I am happy with this purchase!

  82. – Jessica Arons (verified owner)

    Beautiful but risky is right – the price is perfect, the plant will likely lose all it’s leaves to stress, but with a little patience and the new growth point, the plant should provide a beautiful new choco leaves that you’re looking for. Highly recommend.

  83. – Katarzyna Kamizelich-Sroka (verified owner)

    I received two plants, in different sizes- one nice and large, second slightly smaller. In very good conditions, with nice roots and leaves. They acclimatized well and fast, i have them for 3 months now, they grew few leaves already. I’m happy with my purchase.

  84. – Kevin Untalan (verified owner)

    Your chances of getting a successful plant are 2/5? Iíve ordered this and it had some green areas but mainly yellow. It came with 5 leaves all but one has partial yellow and green leaves. It had root rot. I also upgraded to 2 day shipping yet it didnít make it.. It was devastating not to mention how expensive the plant and upgraded shipping was. You will obviously need to rehab it and regrow the plant from a chonk which is very upsetting but if youíre patient enough and have a green thumb, you can revive this. This is definitely not a beginner plant.

  85. – Elma Bavcic (verified owner)

    While my El Choco did come with some damage to the leaves, the root system of this plant was absolutely amazing. For me, this plant is a really fast grower, pushing out new leaves at least every month. The previously damaged leaves have now been replaced by new and huge leaves! This is such an amazing plant, I can only highly recommend getting this one

    I’ve ordered multiple times from Ecuagenera and this is yet to be my most disappointing order. I ordered 10 P. verrucosum 5 and they were delivered in only 4 days, however in that time ALL 10 specimens had faced significant amounts of rot and decay. I am familiar with importing plants and reviving them after some amount of stress, however this is just way too much. I immediately took pictures detailing the extent of the damage to my plants and emailed Ecuagenera support. They still have not responded.

    Location: Singapore Received an extra large specimen with two massive leaves and a few small leaves that has since yellowed in transit, to be expected. The plant came with good roots in cocopeat and perlite, and one week into acclimatization it started putting out a new leaf! Very impressed by the health and quality from Ecuagenera as usual.

  88. – Naomi Gonzales (verified owner)

    This plant arrived with 4 leaves which all yellowed and wilted within 3 days. I was left with a chonk that has little roots. Itís currently in chunky soil and just waiting for it to do something. I hope it survives. Iíve ordered other plants that arrived in better condition before.

    I ordered and arrives within a good timeframe. The tracking did not come in from Ecu at all, but rather the mail carrier which sends me packages coming. hence, I was not notified until delivering day. The plant root system and size was very small seedling compared to the other plant received. I hope it recovers. It had rot and leaves were lost in a week of arrival. the other has dropped leaves, but seems to be ok.

  90. – Brandi Langhorne (verified owner)

    I got 2 of these and they came in pretty good condition. They have huge leaves and new growth. They are dropping some leaves which is to be expected.

  91. – Hyungchan Oh (verified owner)

    I love those plants and I ordered 3 of them But I received really baaaaad plants 1 of them died after a week and 2 of them still in rehab. So annoying.

  92. – Edmund Lim (verified owner)

    Well rooted plant with a really thick stem. Arrived with 2 huge leaves with come yellowing along the edges but that is to be expected with this plant looking at everyone else’s reviews.

  93. – Arthur Cabinian (verified owner)

    Received a 3 leaf verrucosum 5. Quite healthy, but as I was just totally overjoyed by the size and healthiness…i saw this morning one of the leaves turning yellow. Hope its not a sign of anything worrisome, just transport stress. Would recommend purchasing this though. Sent what was stated in their description.

  94. – Mihails Golevs (verified owner)

    Received great plant with 4 leafs (2 of them is mature plant size), required some additional watering, but all of them still in the plant and looks great. Many thanks!

  95. – Kevin Chen (verified owner)

    This was the aroid that was in the worst condition out of the rest. It had no roots but was relatively large. All of the other plants have recovered including the rootless orchids, but this one refuses to throw out roots. Make sure you prepare yourself for this possibility before ordering.

  96. – Yan Jiang (verified owner)

    Very happy about the leaves condition, roots are very healthy too.

  97. – David Yang (verified owner)

    Shipped to Singapore. Roots came nice and healthy. No major leave loss but new leaf appears abit stunted as this isn’t something that ships well. Happy with purchase and waiting for it to acclimatize fully

  98. – Chelsey Barboza (verified owner)

    Bought 5 of these. They are all different sizes. 2 are quite small. 1 of them has a nice chonk. They all have decent roots. The leaves are a bit sad at the moment but other than that they are all doing well. They have gorgeous red leaves. Happy with my purchase

  99. – Connor Burgal (verified owner)

    Plant is a very good size. Roughly 15 inch leaf. The other leaves were shriveled and discolored upon arrival. 1 of 3 leaves survived, plant is otherwise well rooted and healthy in appearance.

    Some shipping damage, but a nice healthy plant.

    I have ordered two plants, all arrived in good condition.

  102. – Chelsea Sicat (verified owner)

    My last experience with Ecuagenera was ruined by poor packaging (they sent beautiful plants but many of them came damaged, however customer service was EXCELLENT). This time it was completely different. Very large, gorgeous specimens. Thank you!

  103. – Hyungchan Oh (verified owner)

    I ordered 3 of them and came really in poor condition. All roots were rotten and one plant was yellow and brown. But I didnít know that could claim about the plantís a condition that time. I think this plants is really weak from long travel. One month later one plant has died, two of them still struggling and I am following ecuagenraís plant guide. I love ecuagenra and I left positive review but bad thins is bad. I am fair person.

  104. – Ioana Tudor (verified owner)

    Superbig plant with nice leaves..it took some damage in the road but it’s amazing

  105. – Krystal Roberts (verified owner)

    Plant arrived in good condition losing only one leaf from travel. Plant was much much bigger than I expected too. She is thriving in her new home already putting out two new leaves.

  106. – Jessica Z (verified owner)

    The plants from this store usually are rotted when they arrived. 6 of my el choco is having no leaves at all. Paid 90 for this crap. Not recommended. And I am not getting any refund for it. Customer service is not good

  107. – David Alzate (verified owner)

    the red backs on these are amazing. I was very worried about this one, but it shipped nicely. It came with 3 massive fully developed leaves, and one bigger leaf that is currently unfurling just fine. it has lost 2 leaves since it’s been acclimating, but this is completely normal. I would buy this again.

  108. – Jana Hlavkova (verified owner)

    Does not travell so well, came with 5 leaves, 2 yellow and fell off, the other with yellow spots. Overally looks sad but there is a new growth that looks healthy. SO I hope! Roots look OK

  109. – Mikhail Krovokov (verified owner)

    I’ve ordered this plant twice and it has been gorgeous both times. Large leaves, from 3 to 5 leaves per plant. Both had new growth. Both times this plant shipped, it came with rotten roots. You will need to cut the rot off and root in water until you see new growth before potting. This one requires a little patience.

  110. – Phuong Pham (verified owner)

    I received a nice big plant with 5 leaves. 3 oldest leaves was yellow, and some 1/4 of the roots died from shipping stress, which is very understandable. The roots is bouncing back very strong very quickly. I’m happy with the purchase

  111. – LYSANDRA GARCIA (verified owner)

    Received this specimen with 5 stunning leaves but the roots were rotted, no roots left, just keeping my fingers crossed that this won’t die on me.

  112. – Victoria Okuneye (verified owner)

    Ordered this plant before and had a good experience. This time the roots were very weak and the plants struggled – slowly lost all it it’s leaves over course of a week despite placing in greenhouse. Not left trying to root stem chonks.

  113. – Margaux COUET (verified owner)

    Everything went smoothly. The plant is growing nice and strong!

  114. – Joe Space (verified owner)

    This is my second order from Ecuagenera and I couldn’t be more pleased. My el choco red arrived with two very large leaves and one smaller leaf that yellowed during shipping. I received a gorgeous plant and one of the largest el choco’s I have seen in person. Thank you!

  115. – Ania-Ariadna Baetica (verified owner)

    The plant I got is really beautiful and large. It really looks awesome. However, they packed mine with a heat pack and it gave the plant root rot, so I had to remove all the roots. I have been rehabbing and I can see new roots forming, so I am very excited about the future of the plant!! It’s a beautiful plant, but it arrived in poor condition.

  116. – Jesse van Mossel (verified owner)

    I order five of them. They arrived in good condition. However, looking at the pictures I was assuming that the leaves would be bigger. Only 1 El Choco got a leave larger than 20cm, other were smaller. Also I only received plants with a max of 2 good leaves, needed to cut of a lot of leaves sadly.

  117. – Cinthia Ramirez (verified owner)

    I’m normally very happy with my orders and the size of plant or roots but this plant died within a week, with one leaf but no root system.

  118. – Jennifer Arias (verified owner)

    Arrived with 4 leaves. They have some cosmetic damages but otherwise the plant looks healthy. The roots however didn’t look so great. Most were brown and only a few roots were healthy. Make sure you know how to root stumps. These don’t do well in shipping and I paid for express.

  119. – Janel Quoc (verified owner)

    This el choco red arrived with four large leaves and one smaller leaf, a huge stump, but not as many roots as I would have liked. It does have some good roots, but I’m worried that it will take some time to establish more and acclimate properly. There was no damage to the leaves when it arrived, and as it is 3 days later, the smallest leaf is now starting to yellow (possible delayed reaction to the stress of shipping, cold damage, or stress of acclimating). For reference, I am in California and upgraded to USPS Express shipping which I highly recommend. Overall, very very pleased with the order. Now it’s up to me to make sure it thrives. 🙂

    The plant was truly shocking, it had three BIG beautiful leaves with one on the way. The packed was great. I was truly amazed when I unwrapped the packaging but a great great buy. We will be doing business again!!!!!!!!!!!!

  121. – Victor Galle (verified owner)

    Came in good shape even though one of the leaves, the biggest one, was a bit damaged. Overall, happy with it.

  122. – Benjamin Ong (verified owner)

    Pot 1: arrived in perfect condition with healthy roots and huge leaves (100 marks for this). Pot 2: unfortunately 1 adult stem + baby shoot arrived broken

  123. – Imani Evans (verified owner)

    My plant came perfectly wrapped in spagnum moss and the leaves were packaged perfectly. I received 3 leaves and on one the way. Size reference one as big as my face the other two size of a softball. Pictures on my Instagram @Plant.Mani

    This one was a heart breaker! Living in a Nordic country I was hesitant on ordering plants in winter, however I decided to order and asked a seller to include a heat pack. El choco arrived in December without a heat pack, and in addition to that it stayed over the weekend in the delivery company warehouse. The plant size was amazing, two huge leaves and one coming, it had lots of roots, the soil was wet and a plant had a frostbite on the leaves. Roots got also damaged from wet soil and cold combination. I put it into intensive care, but it started to rot in within a week and dropped leaves. I tried to bring the stump back to live, but it rotted all the way through. So, eventually, I have no plant and a very heart breaking story. if I order in the future, I will order only during warm months.

  125. – Kenneth Chan (verified owner)

    Location:Singapore Plant arrived extremely well despite having a newly emerging leaf with leaves around 25cm in length. Decent root ball. Pleasantly surprised considering that el choco is a plant that doesnt travel well. Disclaimer: your own shipping experience with this plant may be extremely different. However the one i received was excellent.

  126. – Romans Beskrovnijs (verified owner)

    The product was packaged without heet pack so when it cake the plant was damadged and soon after receiving it – it started to rot… I hope that I can rehab it but it is very unfortunate…

    I received this plant small compared to other that Iíve seen when they do unboxing on YouTube.

    Amazing plant, It arrived in perfect condition with two large, beautiful leaves, healthy root system and already new leaf coming. Super happy 🙂

    I¥ve ordered this plant in December and i live in Germany. I was really worried it would show up in bad shape because of the temperature and long shipping. It arrived in perfect condition, a really good root system and already a new leaf coming. It was bigger than the plant shown in the picture. Very pleased with my order 🙂

    Got a good size plant. Excellent as always. Survived the cold shipping! Super happy and such a beautiful plant.

    Plant arrived today and it came with absolutely no damage. Well packed and secured and it looks like it was packed yesterday. This is the second time I order this plant and both time plants arrived in superb condition. I am so happy. This one arrived with 1 quite large leaf beautiful leaf, and one on the way. I am so happy

    The shipping for this plant was delayed due to COVID, but my choco arrived surprisingly well. It had very big leaves and stump. The roots were a little dry, but she recovered and has been growing beautifully ever since.

    I am over the moon happy with this Philodendron. It arrived in such amazing condition. 3 gorgeous leafs. One of the leafs unfolded during transport, and even with it being such a delicate leaf, it did not suffer any damage. Plants where so well secured.

    This plant was one of those, which I picked up at a show last year. It goes strong and is a very beautiful plant.

  139. – PRISCO ACEVEDO (verified owner)

    Ordered several and only one came as pictured. The others were smaller and lost their leaves from shipping. 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. If you order, pay extra for express mail or you will lose plants due to delays. These are prices for rehabs. I have unpacking videos on youtube @ Austin Green Earth.

    First you should know that Verrucosum travels very, very badly. I received my package fairly quickly 2 days after sending. The plant arrived in perfect condition. She has a very good root system. I haven’t lost any leaves and those even after repotting. I advise you not to touch the root when repotting. It took a little longer than that cousin but a growth is underway. I recommend this product

  141. – Susan Hegarty (verified owner)

    I never received my plant or any response from them.

    I took a photo of my new plant and the leaves look beautiful. I put it in rain water immediately and will leave it there for the next 24 hours and then will put it back in moss for the next month.

    Después de esperar mis plantas más de un mes con toda la ilusión recibo una planta que parece que haya pasado por una trituradora, a pesar de venir perfectamente empaquetada su aspecto deja mucho que desear, parece y estoy casi seguro que se envió en ese estado, ya que las heridas de las hojas se ven antiguas, no debidas al transporte. Por favor ya que no podemos elegir las plantas, enviar las mejores posibles.

    Beautiful Choco red! Came with 5 leaves, very healthy with a good root system and very healthy growing point.

  145. – Maisie Vine (verified owner)

    This came with 4 beautiful, big leaves – with a new leaf coming in. I was shocked how well this shipped, I I live in the UK so was expecting the worse but im beyond happy. Slight damage on the leaves but that’s to be expected but healthy roots and I couldn’t be happier

  146. – Bekki Low (verified owner)

    I bought this knowing they are very rough shippers. And I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled out this huge 2 ft tall plant with 6 leaves and another coming in! There is some small imperfections on all the leaves but nothing too abnormal. Now a week later I am losing 2 smaller leaves (to be expected) which I’m not mad about at all, as I was expecting to lose some leaves. I was prepared for a specimen in much worse shape and having a big rehab project, but its actually in pretty good shape as it’s acclimating and rehabbing. I’m ver_ happy with this big beautiful Choco!

  147. – Sonny Saechao (verified owner)

    Does NOT ship well. Plant came in all dried. No possible way of recovery. Will buy another but locally.

  148. – Asta Stankunaite (verified owner)

    Į read that this plant ships not so well, bet decided to risk. After long journey to Lithuania it came with excellent roots, leaves were starting to get yellow, but after succesful acclimation – already growing second new leaf ant old Ones also stayed in quite good condition.

  149. – Nadja Dechamps (verified owner)

    Die Pflanze kam in sehr gutem Zustand an. Die Wurzeln sahen gut aus. Die beiden Blätter haben drei kleine Macken, was man aber bei so einem langen Transportweg schon in Kauf nehmen sollte. Mich stört es nicht und das dritte Blatt ist auf dem Weg. Abgesehen davon, ist sie doch günstiger als in so manch anderen Läden.

  150. – Abby North (verified owner)

    Arrived with four leaves, two of which were yellowed and dead on arrival. Disappointing, but not a huge issue. One of the remaining leaves is a new leaf, still unfurling, and there’s a healthy growth point underneath it as well. Leaves were fairly small, but this is the medium so I suppose that’s alright. Root system was pretty small and mostly rotted, but this seems to be a pretty common experience when ordering rubrijuvenilles online. It’s been acclimating alright; hasn’t lost any more leaves and doesn’t look like it’s done hanging on yet. Haven’t had any new root growth yet. My biggest complaint is that the backs aren’t very red on my plant, but maybe that can be increased as it grows. If you’ve been wanting one of these, it’s totally worth a shot for the price it is.

  151. – Robin James (verified owner)

    I don’t understand what happened here, the roots were a combination of rotted and crispy. The leaves, which were big and several were all detached from the plant but 2. I sent 3 emails in so many days and no one has gotten back to me. This is my 2nd time ordering Ecuagenera. They were so fast and nice the first time I had problems, now I can get a response.

  152. – Iwona Pryjomka (verified owner)

    El choco is little dificult but came in very good condition. Lost 2 leaves after week but than come another one. I can recommended :)thank you
