Getting clowesii and clowesii

[Neferet]

I really avoid getting plants that are shipped bare root.
The most i've waited for plants would be 15 days from Orchideen Zentrum. The result was 1 of the 3 plants arrived frozen and dead and i'm still trying to get the Blc to fully recover.
Bottom line is heat packs and proper packaging really make the difference. I would suggest trying out the various internet shops till you find the one that suits you best.
Schwerter is my personal favourite.

Cheers

Sorry to hear about your plants! 15 days is a lot. I will avoid bare root in future unless it's coming from the UK. Schwerter's shipping is very expensive for me, but based on what you've said, it might be worth it.
