eBay seller:1morestitch reviews?

8 years ago

Hello all- has anyone ordered from this seller before? When I did a search for Clivia it seems like they showed up the most and had reasonable prices. Hoping to get advice on sellers and such. I am located in Texas, and I'm looking to get my first Clivia.

I'm not familiar with that seller. But, check out Clivia USA. I've purchased plants from them. Good guys. And, they always answer questions.

FWIW, I'm in northwest Louisiana. I'm a newbie clivia grower too.

Ah yes! I have checked out there stuff. I might place an order in the spring. I'm thinking the fall/winter would be a bad time for shipping them. I will send them an email and ask. It seems like buying a plant is cheaper than the seeds.

Thank you!

Citrus Scam on E-Bay
Q

Morning, Eahamel, mind if I ask where you're located? These days I suffer memory loss. lol. You probably mentioned location a million times. Are your citrus in containers or in-ground? Heck, wish my potted citrus grew like you describe yours. :) I think most plants need breathing room, although many authors say grouped plants retain humidity. But, plants kept too close lack air circulation. Something, plants, 'especially indoors,' require. How large do Rio fruit get? Ex..size of Navel orange or Grapefruit. My citrus are grown for decoration, and love of growing.. However, I have eaten lemon, calamondin and kumquats. As for 25' trees, I'm sure fruit isn't wasted. Birds get to nibble, too. :) So true..grafted trees fruit much faster than bushes. I think the only ungrafted citrus in my collection is a Calamondin.. Eahamel, citrus are not hardy in IL. One year 'out of desperation,' lol, I bought Poncirus/FD, then planted in- ground. It survived our freezing winters, think 3-yrs, but so slow-growing. One year, during winter, some Bozo walked across the garden, 'FD was dormant,' instead of the walkway. In the process my FD broke at the base. I was SO upset. It never grew back. HA! weather people. Plan opposite predictions. lol. According to forecasters, we're supposed to get rain all of next week. We'll see..we sure need rain, too. I should have checked to see if you started a new thread before posting here. We'll all do the rain dance..:) Toni PS. I have sown store-bought citrus seeds.. lemon. It grew so, very fast, but thorns were longer and more prickly than cactus. One pro...foliage had super-strong lemony scent. More pronounced than nursery bought, established fruit.

I purchased adenium seeds from this co. on e-bay and although the first seeds arrives dead I contacted the company and they promptly replaced them with viable seed. I think the post office could be responsible for the dead ones or just bad luck that i got five infertile seed but the important thing is they replaced them promptly and they sprouted

Would you buy a range hood on eBay?
Q
Comments (21)
JustnotMartha, The seller is enjenjen. I cannot remember the particulars of the hood, but it has 830(?) CFMs. I did see the *exact* same model on a different site when I was doing research, and for the life of me I cannot remember the name. It was oversold on that site, and I believe they come from either Taiwan or Japan. The instructions were atrocious, however. Hubby and I had lots of giggles over them. He would pull out this little booklet with the one page and say, "Well, let's just see what it says on my very thorough handy-dandy instruction sheet." He's an HVAC guy, so no worries. If I wasn't in the middle of painting (just waiting for hubby to finish something, so came here--natch) I would try to find the company that I *believe* manufactures our hood. I do remember the model number was the exact same, just the letters and numbers were reversed. And YES, the price was much better on eBay.

Good eBay seller for adenium arabicum seeds
Q
Comments (19)
So Adobowizzzy, I received my order today from Adeniumcenter, he gave me extra seeds which is a star in my book. I also bought some black RCN of the dwarf variety. Everything was neatly packed and labeled, paperwork in order. I'm not sure if you are mistyping or if spell check is being your worst enemy but the correct term is Adenium obesum. I am constantly battling with spell check in my posts, assuming this is the same for you ;) The answer to your grafting question is yes, they can be crossed for grafting between A. arabicum and A. obesum.

Also look up a company called 9GreenBox on Amazon. They are selling a plant in a one gallon container for about $20, shipping included. I ordered one, and it should be here by the end of this week. I hope its a decent size.

Oh wow! That's doesn't look bad for the price. I will check them out. What kind of potting mix are you planting them in ?

It's a pretty nice size, right? Ha. I planted in ProMix HP. Watered it once, and I probably won't water it again until February. I also have it outside where it will be exposed to 30 to 50 degrees F. That's supposed to trigger blooming. (I just learned of this chilling period this year. I've been doing it wrong until now.) Hopefully, I get a bloom in the spring.

Great tips! Didn't know about the cooler weather. Those are temps we have now so I think they would do well! I hope it blooms for you!

I have had no problems with her. She packages quite nicely, and has sent an extra plant (lost label) a couple times. they are nice starter plants that will take a couple years to flower, but it beats raising from seed (which I also do) but seeds are

Clivia seed are almost glacial in growth.

Like watching/waiting for the paint peel after a fresh paint job.

It's why we grow other things, like Adenium, which is a trifle faster

Hmmm I might order and give it a try. I'll also look for a larger size to hopefully get blooms faster. What are some sources for larger plants? Clivia USA?

You are correct Dave, Adenium are very easy to grow. I think I can deal with the slowness. I am growing cacti, which can also be pretty slow.
