Should You Buy Orchids on Ebay? Unboxing and Honest Review

In this video, I take a chance and buy several orchids from eBay-will they live up to the hype or end in disappointment? Join me as I unbox the package on camera and give my honest reaction to what I find inside. Spoiler: it wasn’t quite what I expected. If you’re considering buying orchids online, especially from eBay, you’ll want to see this first. Let’s talk about the risks, what to watch out for, and if it’s really worth the gamble.

Are there any other orchid topics you want me to do an in-depth video on?

....nice show Dave.....love your humor and you chat like your sitting at a table with friends.....Im in mid Alabama.......nearest orchid store would be 350 miles maybe more....other than bag babies from Home Depot or Lowes......we have to go to the internet.....I truly envy the orchid abundunce, and availability that you Florida growers have all around you.....to me, that would be a dangerous situation.....will send viewers your way.....you have a great collection., and channel.

I tried another online order, and it didn't go too well either. They never look like the picture.

[@Alyona.C.]

You are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣👏and straight shooter with no filter!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!Please please please don’t waste your money on purchases online. It’s not worth it. The only ones I had luck with are from Hawaii nurseries. Online is expensive and small, and I since I don’t have any nursery near by, I tried many sellers. Some of them sent me plants with bugs:(

[@DavesOrchidOasis]

Did you find any that would good?

[@Alyona.C.]

@@DavesOrchidOasisCarmela Orchids from Hawaii so far made me happy every single time I ordered! I even posted google review for them! Palmer nursery are my go to online nursery too, but you can drive there.

Have you tried growing Vanilla Orchid? The vine and leaves are beautiful! Need to be 30 ft long before blooming.

[@DavesOrchidOasis]

Great tip! I've heard others talk about Hawaii too

[@Laurent-o2t]

Not better in Europe! I've bought one Phalaenopsis. It had no roots at all and died a few days later. And the seller threatened me to sue me because I had given a bad rating. ...believe it or not! lol

[@DavesOrchidOasis]

I am done ordering online.

[@teresagonzalez2022]

Love your channel question what do you do when the leaves in a cattlea orchids get burn

[@DavesOrchidOasis]

They never do because of the pool screen. They are never in direct sun.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Have you purchased bag babies from lowes,home depot?

[@DavesOrchidOasis]
