My SCHWERTER HAUL 2018 - DISAPPOINTED ... CRICKETS, an UPDATE & REFLECTION!
In September 2018, I bought a lot of orchids from Schwerter Orchideenzucht, a German nursery that has a very good reputation among European orchid enthusiasts. This is 50% of that haul, it was one of the biggest disappointments at the beginning of establishing this collection. Included in my 'experience' was the terrible flimsy packaging. Orchids that could have been ok, were crushed, leaves & spikes were snapped ... just all in all, a terrible lack of care while packing for shipping. The quality of the orchids, well... this video is for you to judge for yourself, let me know your opinion, in the comments below. The complete lack of customer service when attempting to communicate with the nursery, as astounding! So, why am I now showing these orchids (some have moved on to orchid heaven)? As you may notice in my previous videos, and future videos will not be any different, there is a certain cadence to my voice when I mention Schwerter... this video explains why. Let me know, in the comments below, if you have had a similar experience, did they respond to any complaints you may have put forward? Perhaps your orders have always been fabulous... if so, I would also like to know about that. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and I look forward to making updates on these orchids, as when there are any.
