Ngl if I saw the reviews on here without any knowledge of Planterina prior I probably would have been dissuaded from purchasing. That being said, I have been consulting Planterina's YouTube videos for a year now with my own growing plant collection and trust her knowledge & advice. I have not had good experiences previously with purchasing plants online from sellers on Etsy, not really due to any fault of the seller, I just think that shipping plants is incredibly traumatic for the plant and so many just have not made it or struggled for months before I saw any improvement to their condition. Since then I've really tried to get my plants locally but it is difficult to find some of the more rare ones without having to go online. Despite my previous experience with online plant purchases, I decided to order from Planterina as there were 3 different Calathea variations I wanted to add to my collection and have not seen them anywhere but online. I chose Planterina because I felt secure that I would have a good experience and receive quality product. Unlike a lot of the reviews here, I am happy to report that is exactly what I got. All 3 plants arrived in just 3 days shipping time and in gorgeous, full, healthy condition. I have had them for a week and they seem to be adjusting just fine. I'm sorry for the people who have not had the same experience, but I am personally very satisfied with my purchase and experience with this seller and will probably purchase again if there is something else I'm looking for that I cannot get from my local sources.
