I repotted my two Impatiens siamniamensis and they nicely recover from the shipping stress. Flora Exotica is definitely the place I recommend. |

It was Magnolia Alba, Banana Shrub, Magnolia Coco. Perry does magic with plants. All plants are exotic and hard to find on the market especially in Canada. His packaging is excellent too, so you get your plants delivered to your door in great condition. I am very happy about my plants. They are doing great, many started blooming by now. The only I want to mentioned here that when one buying plants from nurseries, always check the soil. Nurseries have schedule for re-potting, watering and fertilizing. There is a big chance your plant needs some soil improvement and fertilizing as well. And don't forget to check soil Ph for acid loving plants. |

It was important to me that it get there quickly and be in perfect shape. Perry responded to my email promptly and offered multiple options for purchase, shipping, and payment. He followed through exactly as requested. The plant arrived in excellent condition. I anticipate making Flora Exotica a "favorite" for my future plant/floral purchases! |

After getting a few suggestion from Perry for my sunroom I placed an order on Monday March 19, Perry shipped the three plants on Wednesday March 21 and I received the healthy plants first thing Friday morning March 23. Now that is fast! I have to admit we both are in Canada so shipping to other places outside Canada may not be as quick. Plants were as ordered (actually a little bigger) and both the Myers lemon and baby orange trees had fruit on them. The Osmanthus fragrans was ordered as a 2-3 foot plant. The one that arrived was 4 feet. Thanks again Perry. |

Which I was charged. Now, you either "didn't notice" that my oregon was going to Oregon, and thus shipped it to my old address in Boston listed in Paypal without telling me (I had just moved to Oregon - and furthermore, what if this was a gift????), or you *lied* about calculating the shipping, since you charged me *the same shipping to ship to Boston from Montreal as to ship across the country to Oregon.* Furthermore, you never replied directly to me when I emailed you about this. You only responded to this site. You only care that more people will order from you, and not what happens to them once they do. You have terrible customer's service. Beware, other customers!

Positive | cayvietnam (1 review) | On Oct 8, 2011, cayvietnam Albany, WY wrote: I live in Wyoming, USA. Recently, I bought plants from Flora Exotica. They arrived so quickly that I can't believe they came from Canada so quickly, only 4 days after I ordered. The plants arrived just on time before the snow came. The three Lolot, Feuille BBQ plants arrived in excellent condition. Mr. Perry took time to pack each plant very thoughtfully. Each plant was supported with a bamboo stake so the plants would not be crushed during travel. There is no damage to any single leaf when they arrived. I will use the Lolot leaves to wrap sliced beef with seasoning, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and honey, then fry them with a little oil. They will have a delicious flavor that everyone will love. |

All the plants were alive and some have started to bloom since. The tender Exotic plants, as I expected, take some time to adapt to my climate, and I have had to learn what each of them require. |

Positive | amyphaseshift (1 review) | On Jun 10, 2011, amyphaseshift Dixon, IL wrote: I am not a person who has much "luck" with plants. I heard about a specific plant that is one that is said to have certain healing properties for a chronic condition that I have. I really wanted this plant. Which meant, I had to get it and grow it. I ordered it from Perry. He responded to all my emails. He sent me directions on how to care for the plant. The plants progress was easy to track as it traveled. I did phone Perry a couple times. He helped with all my questions. Most of all, the plants arrived in great shape! Even, I, who when plants in the stores see me coming, they play dead, could see that these plants were healthy and vibrant. They must not have known that they were coming to my house. I sent a photo of the plants to another person who distributes the same plant. He is helping me in other areas. He said he was impressed with how healthy the plants appeared to be in the photos. Now, he should know! So, this is day two. Day one, I cut some of the tops as I was directed and they are in water waiting to grow some roots. Then I will pot them. Perry also sent me what to do with the plants now that I have them. Very good support from Perry on this plant mission in which I find myself. Peace |

Perry had to wait until the weather cooperated to send it (we live in a very cold climate) but we understood that was a wise decision. *S* The tree arrived healthy, REALLY BIG, covered in blossoms and little fruits and beautiful! We hope to deal with you again in the future. Fabulous company and perfect product! Thanks!!! |

Positive | hoodview (1 review) | On Mar 23, 2011, hoodview Oregon City, OR wrote: Given some knowledge about climatic requirements for native North American cypripedium species, they can be very rewarding to grow in the garden or in containers. They are frequently purchased as dormant "eyes" with a root mass, looking very tender and vulnerable at first. While they do need appropriate treatment, they grow quite quickly after planting. I've grown a fair number of cypripedium species in my Oregon garden. While I've purchased from a number of suppliers, the plants I received from Flora Exotica have been the healthiest I've ever gotten. Shipping was amazingly fast, they were well-packed, so I'm confident they will grow quickly into robust plants. |

Flora Exotica has been so helpful with advice on caring for the cuttings I ordered. They arrived in good condition and have perked up even more since then. I look forward to ordering more plants in the future. |

I have to say I was very (pleasantly) shocked because I had no idea they were coming so big! I was expecting them much smaller... they look very healthy too, with glossy pretty leaves. I could not believe the size because of the cost of shipping from Canada. I purchased one smaller tree that cost me twice as much to ship (in the US). Perry has been super gracious, promptly answering all of my questions. I will most certainly purchase some more plants from him! |

I was concerned in the interum because we had unusually hot weather in the eastern states. But the plants arrived in excellant condition with the pots well wrapped so that the potting medium was still moist. The plants were 10 inches tall but suffered no damage in transit. |

I ordered a bo (ficus religiosa) tree. The tree arrived in very good condition. In fact, it has sprouted two new leaves since its arrival. It is happily residing outside in a shaded area on the patio.. I will bring it in in the fall. I am sure that if I have any questions about its care indoors, Perry will advise me. I will keep this site in mind if I wish to order another exotic plant. |

I found on the internet a meyer lemon bonsai tree, but it was in new york and they don't ship to canada. I am not into the gardening network so it took me a day researching and several calls to garden centers and nurseries in canada. i then found a blog comment of a woman who got a meyer lemon tree from flora exotica. Long story short, it was wednesday before mothers day, i called, they said they had, i was skeptical that the picture would be better than the actual, but as true as their word they sent her a very green plant, with buds now coming out, plus a few growing lemons. she even was a day late picking it up and it was still very healthy. I thank them for their immediate response, consistent communication and a perfect choice plant. |
