First Rays Plant Delivery

[kalanchoe]

Wow, I just received a shipment from First Rays, and I'm really impressed with the quality of the paph I ordered! I've ordered from them before for semi-hydroponic supplies and never really looked at their plant selection. I'm glad I finally did!

The orchid was packed so well: plastic around the pot and medium, tucked inside an ample amount of shredded newspaper, taped inside a foam sheet to contain the shreddings, which was placed in a box full of packing peanuts. The plant seems to have made the long trip unscathed thanks to the effort First Rays put into packing it.

Additionally, it's a GORGEOUS plant. Healthy, supple leaves with many growths. I'm a windowsill grower, and I sometimes worry about transitioning new plants from greenhouse environments to my home. Starting out with quality plants like this paph really helps that transition (of course, starting with healthy plants just improves the hobby of growing orchids all-around). I'll be paying closer attention to the First Rays plant section here on out!

We always love to hear when people have good feedback about First Rays, especially as Ray is one of our long standing members here on OB and always willing to help.

I just wish I lived in the USA so I could buy from him!

That's great to hear, and your plant is beautiful! I just ordered a Paph kolopakingii and a semi-hydroponic starter kit from Ray today. Can't wait for them to arrive!!

I haven't ordered plants from him yet, but I just got a box of supplies. Shipping was really quick, communications were excellent and the packaging were all first rate. He is out of the one plant I was thinking of ordering. I would not hesitate to order plants from him after the great service I received on my supplies.

Good to hear that others are fans of First Rays' service as well!

Part of my recent shipment included the "Rise and Shine Wipes"; I tried them today and they work really well in removing water spots and other muck from leaves.

Minda, good luck with your new plant and S/H kit! About a third of my plants are now in S/H, and it's gone well so far!
