Tips When Buying Imported Plants Abroad

When buying plants abroad you have to consider the logistics of the seller. how he/she will pack the plants. It the plants will be shipped with pots or uprooted. Most rare plants can be found in Thailand even Ecuagenera plants. I bought my Ecuadorian plants such as SP Colombia in Thailand together with other Thailand plants. During RL International live plant selling, I "mined" around 10 plants worth P20,000 and I have to add another P1500 for shipping from Bangkok to Manila. I was not advised however that the plants will be shipped uprooted. When it arrived at my apartment in Valenzuela the roots has an even length which means it was cut already to reduce the bulkiness of the plant. However, they packed it professionally and landed to me in good condition. I just have to buy a medium and pots to plant it. So before you buy a plant online, especially when it comes from abroad, make sure to ask the seller if it's going to be shipped with a pot or uprooted. Because when you buy imported plants in pots, there are more chances that they will thrive and need only to be acclimatized for two weeks. In Holland or The Netherlands, they usually shipped the plant on its pot although a little more expensive you are sure that the plant will thrive well when shipped here in the Philippines. because shipping from Thailand takes 1 to 2 days while 5 to 7 days from Holland.

The best thing to do is to buy imported plants from a local distributor or importer here in the Philippines to make sure the plants is already acclimatized and make sure you will not be scammed. Since there are still plant scammers online. You can personally visit and see the plants and pick them up yourselves.
