Comments regarding Loresco Tropical Plants

I recently purchased plants from Loresco Tropical Plants in Puerto Rico. Esteban answered every question that I had and was very helpful. The shipping was fast. The most important, the plants - were very large and healthy! I was extremely pleased and I will certainly order from them again.

Being from a tropical Island in the Pacific,I have to say that Loresco Tropical Plants is the place to buy tropical plants. SI U'US MA'ASE meaning "Thank You" in Chamorro to Mr. Esteban. Hey, and guess what...the adeniums like it here in Virginia.... :-)

I just received two hugh cartons from Loresco containing ten hibiscus and three tropical plants. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement. The plants are amazingly healthy and ready to bloom.

Before ordering, I corresponded with Esteban in Puerto Rico. Despite being his busy season, he replied to each of my emails; offering excellent advice, cultivation information, special formulas for fertilizing, etc. All this before I spent a penny.

When the plants were sent, I received an email alerting me to expect arrival (three days from PR to NYC). His emails sent me instructions on what to do upon arrival to ensure acclimation of the plants.

OK, one point everyone should know. Loresco's website is not the best but it is improving. Some links appear not to work (slide the mouse around the button and click often). All of the plants are not listed, so do not hesitate to write with questions, etc.

Finally, Esteban sent magnificent photos of hibiscus he has cultivated. This helped me decide. I started off looking for one hibiscus and became addicted- my Manhattan NYC terrace will look like a tropical paradise. Now if I can find a small spot where I can sit!

Loresco tropicals is great. I placed my order with them and they were prompt to deliver. Esteban (Loresco Tropicals owner) was very involved through out the entire process and continued to check with me all during the days preceeding my vacation to make sure that the deliver was convenient for me. Needless to say the plants were in great condition. He has still kept in touch to make sure that all of the plants have not only survived but flourished. Definately two thumbs up! I look forward to my future order with Loresco Tropicals.

Having lived in Puerto Rico for many years, I was searching for somewhere to buy tropical plants here in the states(Philly). I came across Esteban's website in PR and started contacting him last year. I ordered some banana plants, palms, and a host of other tropicals from him. His knowledge and help made the process worry-free. I did not know how these plants would do here but I was willing to give it a shot. I am happy to report that everything was excellent. The one banana actually bloomed and had fruit at the end of September. I have over wintered many of the plants indoors and they are almost ready to back outside. I am in the process of placing a 2nd order for this season. What a great find.
