Positive | Sa001 (1 review) | On May 21, 2020, Sa001 Oakland, CA wrote: I’m live in California. I decided to order from Kartuz Greenhouses, so my plant wouldn’t have to be shipped cross country. I ordered a begonia, and received it a week after the order was processed. The processing and shipping was quick, but I never received an email about the shipment. It would have been nice to have been notified about shipment, so I could keep my eye out. |

I try to order from them every year and have never been disappointed in variety, quality, and ease of doing business. They have an incredible variety of plants and I have never once ordered something which was not on hand. Either I am very lucky or their inventory is huge. Only wish they were closer because I would love to see it in person! Cannot wait to order again. |

Packing & communication were great, the plants I ordered are all doing well. Specifically for Gesneriads and Hoyas, I recommend this company : ) |

I ordered five different types of plants, which were shipped quickly and packaged very well. Not only did I receive very healthy plants, but two of them (a begonia and a cuphea) were actively blooming! I have to say it was one of the best mail orders of live plants that I have ever received and I will definitely be ordering again from them in the future! I highly recommend them. |

Positive | epfcg (1 review) | On Mar 13, 2015, epfcg Cupertino, CA wrote: I have ordered several plants from Kartuz, Sweet almond verbena, Passiflora White wedding, Nematanthus Orion, Nematanthus Serra Bonita, Babaco papaya, 2 streptocarpus varieties, and hedychium greenii. The plants are carefully packed and their containers taped inside of the box. The nematanthus orion arrived ready to flower and is continually flowering now. All of the plants have grown quite well after they arrived. Keep in mind the plants do take time to become accustomed to their new environment and start growing again. Even if a plant loses a few leaves it will recover very soon. Waiting for the flowers on gisele streptocarpus to open. |
Positive | Sibilation (3 reviews) | On Feb 27, 2015, Sibilation Jacksonville, FL (Zone 9a) wrote: Kartuz had all of the plants I had been planning on buying from various other companies under one roof - with flat rate shipping. boon. I ordered on a Sunday and they arrived Thursday of the same week. They were expertly packed (no soil in the box), healthy, robust plants. Kartuz will be the first place I will check next time I decide to binge on exotics. |
Positive | puppincuff (1 review) | On Feb 7, 2015, puppincuff San Clemente, CA wrote: I am a professional gardener/landscaper. There are very few nurseries that grow, or are even acquainted with, unusual plants. Kartuz is not a diamond in the rough, rather it is a gem of considerably more interest and utility. When I ask about a plant I'm unfamiliar with, the response is honest, succinct and erudite. They are one of the mightier soldiers in the fight against the dumbing down of landscaping and plant design |
Positive | Gourd (22 reviews) | On Oct 31, 2013, Gourd Mesilla Park, NM wrote: I've ordered several times from this company while living in Southern California and have always been very pleased with the plants. However, this time I am especially pleased since these three plants I just ordered arrived within two days of their mailing. Very hard to find, phymosia umbellata which I originally grew in Ca before we moved and longed to obtain since then. Well, I finally found them at Kartuz and they sent them with buds on them ready to bloom soon. I couldn't be happier and I will place another order in spring for a few other plants. I didn't realize that I have not left a rating before this and they truly deserve to be recognized for their great packing, fast shipping and great selection of plants. |

I haven't had this experience with other mail order plant companies, so I was very happy from the gitgo. To me, they were a little pricey, but the plants are much more than I expected and in such good health, I will be ordering again ! Thank you for the quality and the care you put into my order ! |

As usual, all the plants were healthy, undamaged and carefully packaged with a generous insulating layer of styrofoam peanuts. Also, since the company notified me via email the day they sent it out in the mail, I was able roughly estimate it's arrival (in my case, the following day). So far Kartuz rates A+ in my book! If you are curious, here is a link to a couple of pictures of what the plants looked like when they arrived: //www.flickr.com/photos/gardengal82/sets/72157630115542094/ |

From the very first time I contacted them, they were willing to go an extra mile to satisfy my particular needs. At all times (quite a few), they were courteous and prompt to reply, before and after placing the order. The big box of plants arrived on time, in excellent conditions, great packaging, and the plants -as healthy and beautiful as they can be. It was a pleasure to deal with them. |

Positive | Plantmum6 (4 reviews) | On Apr 2, 2011, Plantmum6 American Canyon, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: I ordered about 10 plants that I couldn't find locally (and I work at a large nursery). The plants arrived, within a week, and well packaged showing no stress from shipping. The plants are small, being in 2.5 inch pots BUT well proportioned, large even for this size pot, and well rooted. The plants were all in tip top health and I KNOW they will grow great, unless I do something careless myself. I am a very happy customer who is looking forward to ordering again! |
Positive | sanguinelli (8 reviews) | On Mar 18, 2011, sanguinelli Spring Valley, CA wrote: I ordered 5 plants from Kartuz last week, 3 begonias, a brugmansia and a plectranthus. All were in perfect shape and ready to be potted up. The plectranthus had a good size caudex and was in bloom. Shipping was quick and no plants were damaged. Will definitely order again. |

All plants were in excellent condition and nice specimens. My only complaint was that one of the nematanthus was not labeled. I double checked the box, wrapping papers, tapes, floor and other plants and the tag was not to be found. I emailed the company last week but have not gotten a reply. I'll keep you posted. I hope I'm not in for a disappointment. |

They are not the fastest in delivery but as I understand it is a very busy mostly mail order nursery. The plants are worth waiting for and I look forward to every order. They have some fairly hard to find stock and the place is worth giving it a try. |
Positive | flgweedo (2 reviews) | On May 16, 2009, flgweedo Ocala, FL wrote: Placed an order late last month and I received it today. Order was expertly packed and the plants were in great shape. I found them online while searching for Plumbago "Royal Blue" and decided to give them a try as I can't seem to find this plant here in FL. Glad I did! I'll definitely order from the again as I'm always in the market for new and interesting plants along with great customer service. |

Positive | Weavingator (2 reviews) | On Apr 9, 2009, Weavingator Micanopy, FL wrote: I placed an order with Kartuz Gardens (the first time I have ordered from them) on March 24 - I ordered 13 plants, a selection of members of the shimp family, angel trumpet and others. Tuesday, I received an e-mail that said that my order had been shipped. My mailman delivered it today - Thursday. When I opened the box the copy of my order and instructions on how to care for the plants were right on top. The plants in pots were taped across the top of the pot and the pots were taped to the box and filled with shipping peanuts were they could and would not shift. The plants arrived very healthy with no broken limbs. I am very impressed with their shipping and packing. I will be placing other orders with Kartuz in the future. |
Positive | sheilasouth (4 reviews) | On Mar 19, 2009, sheilasouth Osage, IA wrote: I have been pleased with Kartuz..my orders have always consisted of Hoyas...I though they seemed to be a fair company & the plants are doing great 4 years later. I just ordered some more this year & I like it that they let me know when they sent the order out, because our temps can still get pretty low @ night. If they set overnight in the mailbox, they would surely die, and I have had a previous vendor of African Violets (Rob's Violets @ The Violet Barn) get very upset & argumentative with me when the plants died because of cold weather. I won't deal with Rob's again, but I will return to Kartuz again. Nice company..pleasant people that WANT to keep their customers happy. |

Positive | dbsmith2 (7 reviews) | On Aug 13, 2008, dbsmith2 Amsterdam, NY (Zone 5a) wrote: After drooling over their begonias for a few years, I finally decided to order. Most of my first choices were sold out, but I called the nursery and was told to put my wish list in the comment section. I was pleasantly surprised to get several from that list, plus all the available ones that I had ordered. Shipping was reasonable, but the plant prices were a bit high. The selection cannot be beat, and that, in the end, is what I am paying for. The plants ranged from small to large, but all were healthy and are growing nicely. I look forward to another order. |
