I wan't to write a review that for the most part, is quite the opposite of my first one written. I've mad a few orders from Leilani and every time have received awesome plants with great service. Heeeeree we go:
1. 8.7-9 (at least. I'm reluctant to give a perfect 10 to anyone so far)
2. Pricing seems to be pretty fair. I've been very happy with the plants (size/quality) for the price.
3. The first order I received from Leilani was just a nepenthes. "hopeful monsters" merilliana x ?. Upon opening the box I was shocked at the size of the plant. After my petflytrap experience I was expecting to get small plants from everybody but the plant was well over a foot across! The only issue was that a pitcher had broken in transit. It was the only one besides one developing but being a very fragile thing (and not too small either) it's understandable that it was broken. The plant has put out three pitchers since I got it and all have been a bit deformed. I thought it might be my care of the plant, but having spoken to the only other person I know who has one, they too have some bizarre mutations in the pitchers. So I've chalked it up to being an odd mix of parent plants. Besides that it is indeed a "monster". My second order was for nepenthes. "riddler" which is n. spathulata x (veitchii x tiveyi). The plant arrived in pristine condition and is a really wonderful hybrid overall. It's now developing its second pitcher in my care.
4. No issues were had.
5.N/A
6. Have and will!
7.N/A
8.I'd like to see them offer some more species instead of primarily hybrids. Although every plant I've seen from them is sweeet!
Overall my experience was very positive and I will absolutely order again in the future. Keep it up!
Here are the two plants I have received from Leilani:
This is the first pitcher n. "hopeful monsters" has put out in my care. The second was much bigger and shaped more normally but I'm having camera troubles. I'll try to get a new one/ full plant shot soon.
Heres n. "riddler"
