Orchid-Tree - Bengaluru

Top quality plants.Very helpful staff I am able to find rare orchids here They have orchids for beginners and orchids for more experienced growers......Most of all I trust that they are always selling me well grown healthy orchids

Beautiful collections...

Nice staff. They knew well about the product.. good quality plants..gift wrap and packing was very neat

I bought Peristeria elata from this website. I Recieved the order on time and the packaging was really good, and the specimen I recieved was healthy but it had several fresh cuts on it's leaves. The older leaves which are the larger leaves had some tiny mechanical damage due to transport and thats it. Root system is good. I'll add the pics. But the plant they sent me was actually not mature (even though listed it as mature). The plant they sent me was 2-3 years away from maturing. They responded to me with patience when I was dealing with fertilizer burn and some bacterial infection at the same time (I don't know if they sent me an already infected plant as the infection started at the cuts). Later I placed an order of a bag of Coco-ships but it didn't get registered on their website due to a bug. They later sent me the Coco chips after I talked to them on Whatsapp and had shown them the bank receipts. The Coco-chips are raw and unprocessed, released a lot of tannins when soaked in warm water and stained everything... And the Prices are way too high. Like in my case, I could have got P.elata for ₹450 on other websites(Of Kerala) but on Orchid Tree, I paid ₹1350+₹91 For Delivery. (Thats THREE times higher!!!). Even the Accessories have huge markups AKA PROFITS, highgrow and high bloom Are just some standard urea fertilizers, they sell 100g for 95 Rs, but we can easily get a standard fertilizers with EXACTLY the same ingredients for the price of 1Kg per 100 Rs. Urea Nitrogen is totally useless with orchids as they generally don't grow in soil. Soil has the microbes that convert urea into forms of Nitrogen that plants can absorb in form of Ammonium, Nitrite and Nitrate ions. They sell 10 bamboo stakes for 150 Rs, but we can easily get the same ones for 50 Rs Max. This is the major Downpoint according to me. So if I were you, I would buy only rarer to find orchids from them, for common orchids, supplies and accessories, you can go to other websites and nurseries, you can save a LOT of money.... Go to some Kerala or North-East Nurseries... So to summarise:- Pros:- 1)Good Collection with Rare Species and Hybrids 2)Good Quality 3)Does really good Packaging 4)Helpful people on Whatsapp 5)Their Website has Simple, Minimalist, Stylish and Good UI 6)Has Care Guides on its websites (which it just copied from AOS- American Orchid Society and other websites) Cons:- 1)Accessories are way too Overpriced. 2)Common Orchids are Overpriced. 3)Sometimes they sell orchids which are not mature but they list it as mature. 4)Delivery Charges are way too high. 5)Their Website can have bugs

As a regular customer I feel they can improve their customer service by leaps and bounds. For the prices they charge one would assume they would also share their expertise on some of the hard-to-grow orchids. It's a trial to get some additional information about certain orchids from them as they are not very forthcoming with help in case the plant is unhealthy or ailing. In case of positives - their collection is expansive, plants well potted and packaged and shipping timely. Prices are higher than other sites but that's because they do not ship bare-rooted like others but with media and pot. The only complaint I have is, as mentioned above, that after you purchase the orchid and if it doesn't do well for you, you may not get any timely suggestions from them (this has been my experience with other vendors who are more than helpful as orchids often require special care when compared to other plants). Also, be prepared to be disappointed if you get a weak specimen from them and you want a refund or replacement, they will not replace the orchid but at maximum they will give you a paltry 50-30%. refund - has happened to me twice.

Excellent quality of plants and the packaging done is also very good.

Excellent and exotic varieties of orchids under one roof.... It's a perfect place for a orchid lovers... So many varieties to chose from... The staffs hav excellent knowledge abt the orchids... Very helpful staff...

I bought my first Orchids at Orchid-tree around 4 months ago and several of them have started blooming over the past few weeks . Their plants are really healthy , their website carries all the relevant information on taking care of different varieties of Orchids ...... so much so that a first time grower of Orchids like me has found it really easy to care for them and experience the joy of seeing them flourish and bloom . To top it all the variety of Orchids that they carry is amazing , so the only downside I see is that I can't seem to stop buying new plants every month !
