    That was a long drive for a confusing price range especially after going through the process of selecting the plant you want.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety +1

      Funny you should mention going through the process of selecting plants. With so many plants, it took me forever to look over the plants I wanted and to find the ones in the best condition. I was not a happy camper when I went to pay. On the other hand, it was nice seeing all of the plants in person and it was a trip I wanted to take. However, I don't know that I will be making that trip again. Thanks for watching.

    This place looks really interesting, but the pricing seems overly confusing if not slightly shady.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety +4

      The plant selection was wonderful, but the pricing had me seriously confused. It's hard to shop when you don't know the prices. Thanks for watching.

  • @user-gd3oi2ue6k
    @user-gd3oi2ue6k Před 3 lety +8

    Another great and informative video Peggy! I totally agree with you, spending your time to find a plant you like only to find out it's unaffordable is a killjoy. The price changes also make me feel bias is playing apart in their decision making process. Yes, plants can have a range in prices due to size and availability. The fact that no one seemed to agree on a standard price for that range is suspicious to me.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety

      I understand a price range, but I was being charged prices far beyond the range. That's what got me going. 😮😧

    Honestly, I thought most of the plants were in bad shape. A lot of droopy and yellow leaves. They're in the plant business for crying out loud! More of them should look healthier. Thanks for taking the time to show this to us!

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety +1

      I was surprised by the number of plants that seemed to be struggling also. I guess they may have been recent imports, although I don't know. Thanks for watching.

  • @BusyPlanting
    @BusyPlanting Před 3 lety +2

    I'm pretty shocked that their prices are not listed. I've ordered from them over a dozen times and you can't find better prices or selection anywhere. However, a third of the plants (at least the ones I received) either need major rehabbing, came unrooted, or die from shock. Things have been getting better over the past year. Thanks for sharing this tour of their nursery. You saved me a visit :)

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety

      There is a price list, but many plants are not on the list and I was being asked to pay prices other than what the price list stated. I have the same issue with plants I've ordered from them as well as the ones I purchased from them at the nursery. Thanks for watching!

    Peggy, you have to remember when you want something from Ecuagenera that is not on the website, you just ask. They may have what you want. I was able to obtain some unpublished species that way. I have gone to plant shows to pick up pre-ordered plants and have never been disappointed. Their show prices always seem to be quite a bit more than what I paid.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 2 lety

      Yes, I'm actually aware of that, but thanks for sharing. I have seen them at shows and yes, the prices there are closer to the going rate than on their website. It's a good idea to order ahead and pick up at the shows, like you did. Thanks for watching!

    thanks for taking a hit for us, it's defiantly not on my list of things to do now. How bizarre that two ladies discussed what to charge you, and wanted to charge beyond the price list range! It would have been a terrible decision for me to make, but the lack of tons of money would have decided for me.

    • @elkixpin
      @elkixpin Před 3 lety +1

      that said, I know the original Ecuagenera in Ecuador has a nice history of it's funding and that they have tried to be ethical in how they operate. It's obvious seeing the stock of many "rare plant shops" that their main stock comes from them, or even their genetic material, but with the price augmented a hundred times... it makes sense that they would be tired of making others money. I am not sure I have this right, but I think Ecuagenera was funded as a christian run nursery for charity purposes, I don't know if they still operate that way. I hope I am not totally wrong about this.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video! The monstera radicans...I really wish they had those available online! It's nice to be able to see some of the ones that don't have pictures online too. I think you had some great ideas for them organizationally like generally arranging the plants w/ a price spectrum based on general price. I wonder if they could communicate internally on price tiers based off number of leaves, nodes, or amount of roots/pot sizing...so that if someone tried to say 'oh I found this in the $100-$150 section they would know whether the person was correct, but then generally customers could have a better sense of what the plants will cost, and maybe end up leaving the nursery having spent more altogether too!

  • @rhaelaettner9641

    Peggy I think the reason that there is a price range is because for the smaller plants or plants with damaged leaves those of the plants on the lower end of the scale so when you sat there and picked the most perfect most beautiful largest one with three leaves of course they’re going to charge you the most (400) for that one more than they would for a damaged queen anthuriim with one leaf that was small (100)

    thanks so much for making this video, it was an eye opener! I absolutely hate when things aren't priced and I would have been very upset to spend a bunch of time picking out a plant only to find out it was too expensive. I also am not a haggler, I just want the prices to be clearly stated so I can make a decision. Just the thought of that has me seriously reconsidering going, it would be a long drive and I am not sure worth the hassle.

    Operating a nursery has many aspects to it. It sounds like they haven’t got their act together yet. Hopefully management sorts it out. In a good nursery plants that are not yet of a certain quality standard and need to grow more to be ‘ready’ aren’t offered for sale.

    The first two tables on the right when you walk in are set aside for their wholesale bueyrs who place orders for pickup. Ecuagenera does a good job of giving their wholesale ( bulk ) buyers the better plants that come out of the apopka location. What is left on the rest of the tables requires some serious sorting.

    Very informative and also a shame that they can’t get it together. I have grown a very large variety of plants, palms and fruits and the biggest pet peeve is nurseries that are unorganized and don’t have prices. The min they are just making up prices I’m leaving. So in my experience with them, I feel that the Ecuadorian website vs. their US website has better pricing. I have the advantage of living in South Florida so the two times a month that they ship to the US into MIA I receive my order immediately and i can start acclimating them directly outdoors because we are subtropical.

They have the Anthurium Regeal at the Ecuador website for $ 100. 00 . but $400. 00 , maybe, not. Its better to order onsite.

    Thanks for the great and honest review. It seems like the company rushed to establish a U.S. site and they don't have their management or nursery organization together. That pricing is a red flag. Since they gave you a price of $400 for the Queen Anthurium, could they show you what a $100 Queen Anthurium looks like? That arbitrary pricing is definitely not a good look.

    • @PeggysPlants

    @hollybeck605 Před 3 lety +1

    So the range in prices seems to be a newer thing. When I first visited them last year they didn't have multiple sizes... it was just one size. I think they're doing that because their main customers are people coming here and buying the plants in bulk and flipping them in their own websites or on FB purges. They probably want to make more money off of those really large size plants so they're not completely losing out compared to what the plant flippers make.

    • @hollybeck605
      @hollybeck605 Před 3 lety +1

      The prices not varying based on condition is also something that always bugged me. I've been there before when all the rare anthurium of one type were all stumps. And I was still told it was the full price. I'm not interested in buying a stump.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety

      That is so true. The price for a totally damaged plant is the same as a perfect plant. As far as the prices overall, I don't mind them charging whatever they want to charge, as long as I know the price prior to going to pay for it. Thanks for watching Holly!

      @PeggysPlants  Před 3 lety

      In some cases I would agree, but not in this case. The plants I have received from this company in the mail seemed to be in much better condition than most at their nursery. I think they pick the best plants to mail out to their online customers, which is understandable. Also, the prices of some of these plants is cheaper on the website, based on size of the plant you receive. That was my experience with this company although other people may have had different experiences. Also, what I have experienced is that prices when visiting the nursery are less expensive than ordering online. The company does not have to spend time selecting, packaging and mailing the plant and they don't have to worry about that plant arriving in bad condition. I normally visit nurseries to get my plants because it is cheaper and I can make my selection. Thanks for watching!

      @@PeggysPlants Maybe they try to sell stronger and better looking plants so as to account for the possible damage due to shipping stress. If they were to ship 'rough' looking plants they might be more susceptible to damage which will then be added on top of the damage prior to shipping. Also, I am not sure if ecuagenera accepts PayPal payments but they might want to avoid customers opening disputes to get a refund as buyers have more protection whereas once you leave the nursery with the plant you purchased, you have accepted the plant in those conditions and as such any further damage will be your responsibility. That might be why, possibly.
