Rarepalmseeds Reviews 59

It’s reliable so far ALL palmseeds did germinate: Cryostachys renda (red palm), Talipot palm and several other extremly rare palms.

About the other exotic plants/cacti: the germination rate was rather low so I recommend to choose only the “new” seeds next time; this will save you a bit money.

It’s pretty expensive however if you like exlusive plants for hobby or if you are young like me and these things will get really nice over 5 years (or more) then this is worth the effort.

The seeds arrived on time, the package was correct and safe, and they responded promptly and accurately when I contacted them. The eucalyptus seeds have germinated in no time. The only thing I miss on the website are the instructions for germination, whether the seeds need scarification or stratification, and whether they need to be soaked before being planted, things like that. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the purchases and the customer service.

Ich habe dieses Jahr 2 mal,insgesamt ca 10 verschiedene Arten von Samen gekauft, gekeimt ist ausser Erythrina acanthocarpa nichts. Rarepalmseeds versendet entweder altes Saatgut als neu, oder es wird schlecht gelagert. Schade ums Geld, und nicht zu empfehlen!
Finger weg!

Nullnummer. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen!
Von 40 Uncarinasamen (2 verschiedene Varietäten) nichts gekeimt. RPS wirbt mit frischen, getesteten Samen. Nach Reklamation der Hinweis von RPS, dass die Samen aus der letzten Erntesaison stammen und eingefroren waren. Das wird dann als „frisch“ bezeichnet und verkauft. Ich nenne das Täuschung der Kunden. RPS nie wieder.

Most of their seeds have low to no germination. Dispatch of seeds is after a month, which makes seeds already too old to germinate. They send expensive seeds dry when those seeds can't be ever dried out. Also they will send wrong seeds on occasion. I stopped buying there.

Von den Samen geht kaum was auf, von 100 Stück Schneebanane gerade mal 7 aufgegangen, von den anderen 7 Sorten nicht ein Samen aufgegangen.
Sind wohl alles andere als frisch.

J'ai effectué une commande en avril mais après plus d'un mois sans l'avoir reçu, j'ai dû contacter leur service clientèle qui a pris le temps de m'accompagner et de répondre à chacun de mes mails ; et pas par des messages automatiques comme la plupart des services clients en ligne. J'ai finis par les recevoir pratiquement 2 mois après (la faute à DHL et pas Rarepalmseeds,,,) donc là j'attends juste que mes graines germent avec impatience...

Kundenservice? Gibt es überhaupt einen, auf Emails wird jedenfalls nicht reagiert!
Lieferzeiten werden nicht eingehalten, ich warte bereits seit mehr als 2 Wochen.
Mit Echtzeit Überweisung bezahlt und es steht immer noch, warte auf Zahlungseingang.
Geht überhaupt garnicht, habe das letzte Mal dort bestellt.
Hoffe das die Samen überhaupt noch ankommen

They are scammers. I ordered 3 types of seeds, total amount was 40 USD, but 42 USD deducted from account on payment. They given me a tracking number of shipping through DHL but when it reached Germany airport then no further tracking was shown. I never received the consignment. DHL takes maximum 10 days to deliver, rarepalmseeeds.com says we will start an investigation after 8 weeks. After 8 weeks they said the delivery company lost the consignment and if you want refund, then contact DHL. Shipping company like DHL can't lose parcel. rarepalmseeds.com used a trick to scam the public. Stay away from this website.

I ordered Retrophyllum minus a super rare conifer from New Caledonia as well as spores from two species of tree fern. The Retrophyllum came in a packet filled with soaking wet soil (it is a water loving species, but still, the soil should have been damp not soaking). Inside the seed coat, the seeds were all dead. As for the Tree ferns, I sowed the spores at the same time as a related species. Zero germination on the two from Rarepalmseeds yet the related species from a different source are growing wonderfully after 5 months. A giant waste of money.

I bought from them the first time: Welwitschia mirabilis and Larryleachia cactiformis. Both species were on my wishlist for a long time. And I couldn't be happier: in less than a week 4/5 Welwitschia and 3/10 Larryleachia have germinated so far! The rest of the seeds also look promising, and also I never expect 100% germination, that is just not too realistic.
The price of the seeds for these 2 species were reasonable (they are indeed rare).

I purchased 100 seeds of Pachypodium namaquanum on 27th Jan from this store and it's been already more than 4 month past but nothing arrives.
They don't even give me a message about this problem so I sent a message to press them for an answer like what's going on? but the website is closed.
they charged me 739EUR and gave me nothing.

Their seeds have become so expensive, to the point of ridiculous. In addition to that you have to pay extra taxes and shipping costs. Germination rates are low to zero. A shadow of what it has been in the past.

The Brugmansia vulcanicola seeds had a 70% germination rate. And they are cold group Brugmansia, although I highly doubt they are true vulcanicola. The expensive Blechnum spores dit not germinate at all, not one green speck. After asking for replacement spores I received a reply after a week that can be summarized as "no, it's your fault they did not germinate" Overall I regret ordering from them, it's a waste of money.

No replies to any of my emails... shocking customer service!! i received a blunt rude message from someone on messenger after being ignored for weeks. not even a confirmation of order, this is a LARGE order and i have no idea if its been dispatched or not?? Youve basically taken my money and ran!! if i dont hear from you in the next 48 hours i will be opening a claim to get a refund

Most of the things I've ordered from them grew, some haven't. This is much better than most international seed suppliers in my experience. Their fees have gone up quite bit recently and they now insist an expensive phytosanitary certificate is essential for all seeds for my country which it isn't. Also hard to see why postage needs to be so incredibly expensive, fine if you're rich.

Samen von 5 Spezies bestellt; die einzigen, die keimten waren nicht das, was es sein sollte. Ich bin Gärtner und weiß, wie professionell ausgesät wird. ZB keimte eine Spezies, die ich woanders erwarb, die von rarepalmseeds (also die selbe Art) nicht. Ich gehe davon aus, dass uraltes Saatgut, was insbesondere bei trop. Arten dann nicht mehr keimt, verkauft wird. Auf Beschwerdemail wird nicht geantwortet. NIE WIEDER! FINGER WEG!!!

Hi all! I made a rather large order at rarepalmseeds.com, which had to be sent in several parcels :)

Payment is convenient. Order confirmation was long. However, I received my order within the timeframe I expected. I liked the product and I plan to work with this store in the future

You dont have a zero star, what a pity.
I ordered seeds , which took 18 days ,along time to come from Germany, we are in the UK, there were various excuses given, but the gist of this is I had my son waiting to take them back to Panama , it is very simple and no hassle to take them in your luggage as a private person. Of course he left on the 18th January , still no seeds, so when they finally turned, up I sent them by DHL and they were confiscated and destroyed as they deem this a commercial import, so I paid for seeds, which were delayed as it was Christmas, then holidays and finaly had them destroyed. what a waste.Had someone been efficient and on the ball they would be in seed trays in Panama.

Eines der umfangreichsten Sortimente überhaupt und darüber hinaus immer frisches Saatgut. Der Versand bei den "kleinen Päckchen" kann ein wenig länger dauern, da das Abpacken kleiner Stückzahlen sehr zeit- und arbeitsintensiv ist. Wer diese Samen nicht zum keimen bringt, der sollte lieber Totengräber werden ....
