Just wondered if anyone had any experience using this vendor Orchideenshop Orchids & more Any feedback, good or bad?


Kindest regards,

Hi Alex,

I have ordered several times from them, and always very happy with the orchids!! They often have very special species orchids no one else is offering!

So both tumbs up from this side of the pond!

If you are searching for another super grower from Germany, MSB orchids is the one! Brigitte Meyer is a great vendor, excellent communication, and super super nice and friendly. 👍👍👍

Succes with choosing some lovely orchids!

I can confirm that! Very good address. The website looks a bit cheap and is not a good first impression ;-)
Ordered some rare Brassavola species last April.
For example the B. venosa was labeled with 1year to blooming size (J1)
Here's a picture some days after I bought it (I mounted it).
It had at least 4 new growths starting and tons of healthy roots.

I can also recommend Schwerter, Roellke and Großräschener :-)

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
It was their rather unusual selection that got me interested in the first place, so it's good to know they are a well regarded vendor.

Kindest regards,
Alex

o&m is a good vendor, they have more species than listed in the net. I love to visit their greenhouses and pick my plants personally. Reasonable priced.

They're amazing. Good prices and very healty orchids.

o&m is very reputable for rarities, and the qualities of plants, people refer to it as "Popow" as the name of the owner (you may meet the name into some species latin name)….

There was a bit of a floating into the maintenance last year as the management was being transferred to the son but it's over now. Definitely recommended!

Popow is in Wolfsburg whereas Orchids&more is in Munich. Two separate vendors.

I've ordered from them before too and was pleased with the plants I got. Was trying to fill up my terrarium and they have lots of lovely unusual plants and many already mounted which was great!

Just had another look on the website and it doesn't specify if the plants are mounted or potted, do they give you a choice? Whilst I know that a great many hobbyists prefer mounting, I'm afraid that I have an irrational aversion to mounts, and aside from a single Euchile citrina, all of my orchids are potted.

Kindest regards,

I didn't get a choice... Only some of them specify I think. The schoenorchis said it was mounted but some of the others were a surprise. I ordered a sophronitis, neofinetia, haraella, two restrepias and the schoenorchis and only the soph and neo were potted... Might be worth mailing them with ones you want and seeing if they have a choice?

I don't usually like mounts either but as these were minis and for a live planted reptile tank it suited me at the time!

Nice to see there's another reptile keeper on the board. I keep mainly terrestrial pit vipers and monitor lizards, so not much chance to do elaborate planted set-ups with those, but I have some rear-fanged arboreals in planted viv's.

Kindest regards,

Nice! Love my reptiles! I used to keep some small monitors, Ackies... They were super! Would love some arboreal monitors, but all the ones I like need a massive viv and a load of cash!

I keep mainly small arboreal geckos at the moment, a very much reduced collection sadly! I don't trust myself with DWA stuff though! You should put some pics up in the other sections! Would love to see :-)

I used to keep geckos myself, but at the moment I only have Pachydactylus rugosus. Of course if I was to come across an Oedura gemmata or a Coleonyx switaki I would definitely get back into geckos. With the monitors I too keep odatria as well as some indicus comples.

With DWA I think nerves are a good thing as they help to keep complacency at bay. I would never have trusted myself with venomous years ago, but I had a very good mentor. My first species was a Crotalus basiliscus, probably the single most docile snake in the world. Being able to work with such a large, powerful, not to mention potentially lethal species, that was so completely relaxed and non-aggressive was a big confidence booster. That being said, I still fall victim to nerves myself, my last herping trip to Australia I got roped into helping with the maintenance of an acquaintances collection, and I can assure you that trying to hook an Eastern Brown is not an experience for the faint-hearted.

Would love to post pictures, but I'm afraid I don't have a camera. I gave up on photography years ago, the only thing I ever learned about cameras is that an idiot with a Nikon is still an idiot at heart.

Apologies to everyone else for taking the thread off- topic, I do love to talk reptiles though.

Kindest regards,
Alex
