Hello,
I would like you to be informed of how my last order went with czplants.com. I'm not used to complaining very much about the plants I receive usually, and always happy to praise the good service of sellers, but this time, I'm really upset and disappointed. I just want to share my frustration.
I ordered for a total amount of 107.92 EUROS for the following plants : D. prolifera Adult, N. northiana 4-6 cm, D. adelae, D. regia 8-12 cm, DM. akai ryu, D. binata var. multifida f. extrema - (Evans Head), D. brevicornis and D. darwiniensis.
But, what I have received is definitely smaller than what was claimed and is not worth it : diameters of D. regia and D. prolifera hardly reached 3 cm and N. northiana had diminishing leaf size, but overall, was clearly not healthy.
As I think the first step is to try to sort out issues by email with the seller, before coming here, I told him that I did not find normal nor fair to send smaller plants than announced, and that the N. northiana would surely be passed away in a short time. I asked him to have my plants replaced. I did pay for a service, and in my view, I'm in my own right to claim for it.
He told me that the D. regia would reach 8 cm in summer. Well... I think that all plants are meant to grow up, and I do hope that most of my plants will be 2 or 3 times bigger than what they are currently, but I paid for a 8-12 cm plant, and not for a plant which was supposed to be 8 cm in the future. I can deem it's more or less wintertime, but I have my own limit in wanting to be scammed too.
About D. prolifera, he told me that I could get an adult plant with my next order. I paid for an adult plant at this time, and I personally do not appreciate this, as commercial as it could seem. D. prolifera is an easy grower, why did he not send me an adult plant in the first place since I'm pretty sure he has a lot of them ?
About N. northiana, he said that he did not see any problem with it.
Ok, here are the pictures :

If you think this is correct and matches the offer, it's your choice, otherwise, be aware of this kind of inconvenience with this seller, who, by the way, is a sponsor of this forum
