Green Thumb assortment (3 plants in a 12 cm pot)

Plants arrived in good quality and undamaged thanks to good packaging. A high-quality set if you want to be surprised and have no fixed ideas about flower colour and size. I'm also curious to see how the flowers will turn out.

I was very excited about the first delivery and was basically very satisfied. This assortment arrived well packaged and in top quality. Unfortunately, one plant didn't survive the transport completely unscathed and had to lose a leaf. Otherwise, the plants are very strong and healthy and have shoots approx. 15-20cm long. One of the three is even producing a 3rd shoot, which I was particularly pleased about! I will definitely order again!

You can certainly understand my initial scepticism about ordering delicate cargo such as orchids online and then having them sent to me, especially as it is not possible to choose the individual plants yourself.
Nevertheless, I took the plunge at the beginning of the year and ordered this Phalaenopsis assortment "on a trial basis" because I was hoping for better quality than the DIY store plants and because I thought it would be exciting to get "surprise plants" that surprise you with their flower colour. Of course, the selection of different orchid species is also much larger here and the typical DIY store and supermarket Phalaenopsis simply no longer pose a challenge over time.

I am very happy with this decision. The quality of the delivered plants was very good: plump green leaves, plenty of green roots and a good firm stand in their pot. They were also protected by plenty of packaging material.

The fact that one plant still arrived damaged (a leaf was broken off and a flower shoot was cracked) is just something I chalk up to "bad luck" and "it can happen even with the most careful packaging". I thought it was very kind of them to send me a replacement plant, although a few friendly tips on how to give the damaged plant extra support would have been enough, especially as the plant in question, which was initially weak, seems to be gradually recovering.
All in all, however, I am completely satisfied with the delivery and am eagerly awaiting the surprise flowers.

What's more, after this "test run" I felt sufficiently reassured to order other orchid species for my new flat, which are difficult to obtain locally, and I'm really looking forward to the new challenges.

The assortment was part of my first order from 01.10.12. The flower panicles are now 30 cm and more and the first buds are about to open. Now I can't wait to see what colour they will bloom every day.
