Botanica Ltd.

I received my order today from Botanica, and I am more than pleased. I spoke to Mrs. Brenda on the phone, and she was very nice and helpful. My plants were very healthy and bigger than I expected. I would recommend this vendor to anyone. Here's what I got:

Dendrophylax funalis- seedling
Campylocentrum ornithorrhynchum- BS Division
Cribbia confusa- Multi-growth in spike
Angraecum erectum- BS with a side growth starting
Angraecum dendrobiopsis- Large seedling

 

Thanks Marni and Alexis.

I think this will be the last few plants I acquire before I move to LSU for school. BTW does anyone know if funalis produces small leaves when its young like Dendrophylax porrecta?

 

This is my first order with them, but I am very impressed with the plants. You're right. Everything is well established on the mounts and growing very well.

I'll be living in a dorm, so I'm leaving my plants at home. My dad is a landscape architect, and I've been teaching my little brother how to care for the plants. I believe they will be able to keep them while I'm away, and I'll only be 1.5 hours from home.

 

I also commend them on their customer service. It was an overall great experience.
Also, thanks Karen. I got on their Malala email list this year after seeing information posted on OI. I didn't order this year because I was concerned I was not skilled enough nor had the environment conducive to acclimating these plants to the Northern Hemisphere.

 

I thought the same thing about Chiloschista initially. I can't seem to find pictures of a seedling funalis. My Chiloschista lunifera has much longer and skinnier leaves, but these may be just developing on the pictured plant.
