Hello everyone, I just went ahead and placed an order through Wistuba for a handful of helis. H. minor (Auyan Tepui, Venezuela) H. minor "Selection 1" H. minor "Big Orange" H. pulchella (Chimanta Tepui, Venezuela) H. heterodoxa x nutans I stuck with mainly minors as I dont have a permenant home/setup for them so want to wait to invest in the pickier species. Was curious as to how long orders take for U.S. based customers and just what to expect as far as plant size and quality. Thanks alot and Id love any general feedback from past customers.

I can't tell you anything about transit time, Wistuba plants are excellent quality, but fresh out of tissue culture. You will have to make preparations to baby them for awhile before putting in harder conditions.

so up until sale are they in the baskets with other plants and transplanted freshly for orders or are they given time in their own pot before transit?
also, not sure if you can answer this but any idea when the burgundy-black H minors will be back in stock? Was bummed when I saw that I couldnt get one with this order.

I cannot answer these questions, you have to wait till Andreas comes home from his trip end of march. Hermann

well I have one question you may be able to help with. If not, no big deal.
My order was made yesterday, will orders still be processed and shipped while Andreas is absent?

No, if you look at our homepage you will see following text: Winterbreak - Winterpause We will start shipping again in March or April 2011, depending on weather conditions. The shop stays open for orders. However these orders will not be delivered before spring.
Greetings

I did see that but a two month gap leaves alot of room for variability as it is March now.
At least now I know it won't be during the first half of March.

In the region where Andreas lives now is severe frost sometimes till end of march, nobody can send plants therefore without risk of damage. Hermann Wistuba

I would love to see pictures of your plants when you get them! I would like to make an order myself after reading your post but I couldn't find anything on wistuba about shipping costs and I was wondering how the shipping prices were calculated, as I live in New York State. Any info would be great, thanks!

had a little confusion about payment. I sent the paypal transfer March 1 when I ordered and just got a request for payment yesterday but the confusion was put to rest within the day with a couple emails between me and Andreas.
I can't wait for them to arrive!!! I will definitely post up pictures upon arrival.
