This review is for Di's Delightful Plants, Lilydale VIC

20 Jun 2019

Reading the previous review, not sure shortcomings have been addressed.
Second time I have ordered, putting the blame squarely on myself for lack of plants thriving/surviving last year, although I am very experienced with salvias.
This time around, my heart sank when they were sent just before the June long weekend, and out their control, but stuck in Sydney, due to auto scanning failure, arriving 6 days later after much enquiring as to WHERE THEY WERE., so already a hassle.
Upon arrival, unpacked, noticing some yellowing on leaves, and condition of 4, one in particular, that was pretty poor, a runt, more like a stick with two new shoots, but overall plants had survived, proceeding to follow instructions.
Next day, potted up with premium potting mix, leaving in a sheltered position for acclimatisation.
Only been a week but another order from another salvia grower...Sue Templetons took off like a rocket a few weeks previously, whereas I feel like I am crossing my fingers that these will thrive...yes it is June but the weather is vey warm, so not dormant, as was suggested; well "growth slowed".
*I did text my concerns, especially with posting...no, not all PO facillities work on the weekend...so 2 days sitting around is not unusual, and stuff ups occur...express delivery guarantees quicker delivery but no option...didn't like plastic parcel post bag either...just the box with address is adequate.
probably just dashed my chance of getting a refund if plants do die. : (
