The scoop on 'Tropiflora'

Phenomenal plants. Shipping was economical & plants were packed very well. A very positive experience, this is one of the few businesses I will 100% use again. Highly recommended.

I Love Dennis and Linda Lathcart, Talk about Devotion, they are some of the nicest people to deal with, I have ever met, & they run their business like a well oiled machine. I called and ordered my plants and within a couple of days, they were at my doorstep. A+, you guys keep up the good work.

Never had a bad experience. I started collecting because I was really impressed with how many varieties they carry. Hopefully they will expand because collectors such as myself rely on them. You can trust this company.

I use to order quite a few plants from tropiflora in years gone by. I was most always satisfied with the value I received but not with my last, most recent order. The plants (bromeliads) I received were all under-sized and over-priced. I was charged over a hundred dollars for 4 scrawney plants that looked too small for 3" pots. They also hit me with excessive service charges for shipping and handling. Never again.

Over the years I have purchased countless plants from Dennis and have been extremely happy every single time. I cannot recall even one plant that was small, damaged, or substandard in any way. I usually get bromies from the "Loading Dock" section but have ventured into "Beautiful and Bizzare" a few times too- everything is always great!

Tropiflora stock some unusual ferns. I recently ordered two and they arrived promptly and in great shape. The prices are very low for such hard to find plants. I would definately order again !!

My order was shipped right away and packed with great care. VERY large specimen plants with reasonable prices for such rarities!

I would highly recommend them. They have a very unusual assortment of available plants and their inventory changes regularly.

Ordered a hard-to-find book (think it's out of print), it was still at list-price, and a jewel orchid (M. petioles, few people carry this one) by phone. Easy to order, came as expected, book came in a separate package (no extra charge for 2 shipments), really nice secure packaging for the little orchid. Very healthy plant, can tell it was cared for very well, price was fair, also for shipping. Overall a pleasant experience.

This is a terrific company to deal with in my opinion. Their plants are healthy, good sized, reasonable priced and often quite rare. If you are looking for the unique I suspect Dennis might have it. I have spoken with him personally on several occasions and found him to be both personable and responsive to my queries. Definitely will continue to do business with them.

I am extremely pleased with this company. Sent me a lovely, healthy plant, expertly packed and promptly shipped. Customer service rep was patient, gracious and friendly.

Wow. Plants are huge and healthy. Great value.

Have ordered from Tropiflora many times over the past several years and am always satisfied.

Packaging is impeccable, plants are always healthy and of good size.

Always quick to answer emails and questions and have, a time or two, gone out of their way to furnish information on new introductions that I was unfamiliar with.

Yesterday I ordered two plants by phone. They arrived TODAY, were generously sized, and exactly what I expected. As a repeat customer, this has simply been par for the course. Highly recommended.

I have recently ordered several Bromeliads from Tropiflora. The service was outstanding, and the plants were great. I will be shopping there again.

I was a customer of Tropiflora for many years, but no longer. Their plants are usually a good value and I've enjoyed their good selection of unusual plants besides bromeliads and orchids. However, there have been too many problems with shipping. One time is one thing, but twice... The worse was not that they made errors, but that the owner was not even polite about it. They could have apologized, but all I got was an annoyed attitude (as if it was my fault). That's not good customer relations, and it's unfortunate as I've enjoyed ordering their plants for many years, but no more.

I've ordered from several online nurseries, and Tropiflora was the absolute best I've dealt with! The plants are large and healthy, and there's a wonderful selection of unusual plants. The shipping was very fast- within a few days of my ordering. Somewhat high shipping cost reflects the fact that they send heavier-weight mature potted plants rather than tiny rooted cuttings. All the items were very carefully packaged, and arrived in perfect shape. When I emailed to inquire about plant availability, their representative was very helpful.
I've received 3 orders from Tropiflora, and all were of the same high quality. They are just what I want in an online nursery.

I too LOVE this company!
I just received an order and WOW was I surprised! The plants were very huge and very healthy as always, but even larger this time! WOW!
I have ordered from them several times before and I have always been very pleased with their service and with their plants! They are very friendly and helpful by phone or e-mail!
I just cannot say enough about this company!
I will continue to order from this company and will recommend them to others. Thanks Jeff! :)

I have been doing business with Tropiflora for years and have never gotten anything but a GREAT value. They stand behind what they sale and give great free plants when you order allot. There is no better source for Bromeliads anywhere and they also have a nice selection of other epiphytes.

I "Love" this company.....I have received beautiful
plants, larger than expected and in great health..

They are quick to fill orders and very easy to talk
to either by phone or e-mail...

Prices are great also......

I would HIGHLY recommend them........ AAAA+++

I love this company. The catalog is fun and interesting and the plants are big and healthy. I've only ordered tillandsias and the foliage is so clean and crispy that one almost wants to eat it!

Although this nursery sells plants other than bromeliads, but they are their specialties. In this particular case, it translates that you don't want to buy orchids unless they are unavailable anywhere. They quite frequently misspell orchids' name, which they simply buy from outside. I don't know why people buy orchids from them when they can buy same things from H&R in Hawaii. Last time I ordered, I received small plants, which are cool growing and should not be sent in summer. I contacted them for something I was looking for about a month ago, and their response was rather impolite.

I really like Tropiflora's nursery even though the shipping is somewhat high I really like the odd plants they have to offer, I will be their long time customer.

I have ordered from them several times and have received excellent plants each time. Their Cargo Report is very interesting - essays about plant collecting, growing, etc. as well as price listings. I have also visited the nursery in Florida and spent almost 4 hours just looking and wishing I had a greenhouse.

I have ordered plants from Tropiflora, not bromelaids or orchids, but the weird miscellaneous houseplants they find. I have been happy with the plants, and they sure are different than anything I've found in the nurseries around here. The plants were properly protected during shipping, arrived when they were supposed to, and were reasonably priced. I will probably do business with them again. Only one beef: order less than $50 worth of plants (which at their prices, you could easily get away with an order totaling much less), and they really sock it to you for shipping.

They have mostly bromeliads, but some succulents and orchids. Dennis Cathcart and his wife own the place. He puts out a catalog about every two months, called The Cargo Report. They are real plants people. I have dealt with them for over 10 years, and have been very happy with their operation.
