Great plants

Great plants. 3 from the rescue box only had minor damage.
The plants were not labelled. Would have liked to know the rescue nox names.

Great experience! I ordered 8 plants that arrived one or two days later (swift as you like!). They're all looking perfect, a touch of transplant/delivery shock so I'm keeping a close eye but there's no broken/poorly leaves or pests going on so - really impressed all round! I'm also now the proud owner of variegated plants so my soul is very happy.
Thanks so much xx

True rare specimen, Amazing service, came the next day !

I purchased a beautiful variegated Hawaiian Palm . Could not find any examples available elsewhere! An entirely strange plant , the feel the aesthetic and creates an interesting sticky substance. Recommend to anyone wanting to add something completely unique to their tropical paradise! It’s really giving lavish prehistoric jungle mountain vibes! I am obsessed with it .
I purchased this plant and took a nap , by the time I woke up I had not only received correspondence but I had all enquiries answered positively, I had arranged to swap out a free gift plant and it was all done so swiftly and with ease !! Service next to none . Thank you Jess G for all your help I’m very grateful ! You ARE a queen ! I am very happy with my purchase and very highly recommend growtropicals over ANY other uk seller if you want fast correspondence with initiative , quick delivery and super duper rare / collector type plants .

Excellent Customer Service

I have very specific plant tastes, my collection is over 500 plants ranging from a few commonly found ones to very obscure, rare plants. I had seen a Marcgravia sp. El Coca on a GT Instagram live auction and fell in love with the little plant! I knew I had to have one! I emailed Grow Tropicals and enquired if there was one available for purchase. Jess at GT responded to my email enquiry within minutes and confirmed that they had one in stock. Jess told me the price and made the invoicing process very simple. I am very happy with how quick and easy the whole transaction was.
With Grow Tropicals, there is a real sense of traditional customer service facilitated by modern technology. The GT team should be proud of their commitment to purveying outstanding rare plants and their impeccable customer care.

One happy customer

Great service, placed an order and the plants arrived the very next day. All plants packed really well. Only one had a bit of brusing and a couple of broken stems. But the plant was very healthy so new it would soon recover. I just dropped them a email to let them know about the damage. I didn't ask for a refund or a replacement I new the plant would soon recover. And I did state this in my email . I got a reply the very next day. Apologising for the damage and to my surprise they also gave me a bit of store credit for the damaged plant. Thought that was really nice of them considering I told them that the plant will be ok. If I could I would give them 10 out of 10 for there service and health of there plants. I'm definitely a happy customer and will be buying more plants off them in the future for sure.

Great experience

I have ordered four plants from growtropicals in the last year. First three have been absolutely perfect, and even though i had an issue with the last one, the customer service (namely Jess) is amazing, and has spent time to look into it for me and offered me multiple options of resolving the problem. I would definitely recommend the shop to anyone.

Fast delivery and excellent plants

The delivery of my plants was very fast, very secure and they're all in excellent condition :)
I initially gave a better review here, but revising it slightly... They sent me an email to review their plants and I gave a great rating for most of them and a 2-star rating for 2. The 4 great reviews were posted immediately and the other 2 not at all. I don't like companies that just publish great reviews and ignore negative feedback and restrict people from sharing this. It makes you look really bad as a company in terms of ethics and integrity.

The main issue I had with the 2 plants is that they are half the size than advertised. The pot size matches, but you cannot just plant small plants into larger pots and charge the same price as for the size I actually ordered...

However, I must say that their customer service is excellent and I received a response back right away.
I would thus warmly recommend them to anyone.

I ordered from "Plants for All Seasons" before and while delivery took longer, the plants were bigger (i.e. as advertised) for a similar price. I can also recommend that company ;)
