Semillas La Palma Reviews 9

Simply the best! Apart from the amazing and reliable quality it's always a real pleasure to deal with the team in case you have any questions. Fast replies and an expertise that you can only get by decades of experience. If you ever need to order any hot pepper seeds I can highly recommend Semillas La Palma!

Im a chilli grower novice and came across this shop in many recomendations on Reddit and grow forums. Indeed a great selection in seeds, but unfortnatly a wide variety on seeds is not all. From a so called profesional seed suplier i expect more.
Like:
- Scientific names missing on seed packs
- extrem long shipping (14-28 days) with no option to choose express or a different shipping method(2024).
- No payment recived notifications
- poor online shop architecture
- poor comunication skills

I cant say anything regarding the seeds themsef yet, sice they have not been planted.

Some other disslikes but not related to the shop.

- Poor Youtube guides (the info ur locking for is hiden between pesonal rambel) Took me over 10 min to just finde the info about how deep a seed must be planted.
- Elitist and downwatching behavior (boomer)

Seems like there is not much competition in chilli seed suplier if this is considert the best.

Kinda sad.

Edit: Shop owner is Doxxing customers and insults them(me) via email as "drunk"

Probably the cheapest online but after a few years of ordering I can say that you'll end up wasting money, not saving it.

Half of the seeds are hybrid. A third of them are probably very old seeds with very low (or zero) germination rate (grown with seeds from other sources that had 90-100% rate so I know it's not a setup issue).

I have gotten 3 right phenos out of 11 from my last order. When I finally contacted them, not for a karen-complaint but more for helpful feedback, the CEO Marlene Merle took it very personally, answered with a very arrogant email and said to do us both a favor and not buy on their shop. If you read this, I'm hopefully doing you a favor as well.

Edit: you can see from their reply below exactly their attitude. Passive-aggressive, blame and total lack of any responsibility in anything. If your fatalii is red, your reaper is a ghost and your habanero looks like a mushroom, it's not hybrids, it's your fault! They are also the only supplier in the world who never had germination issues in 20 years ;) Thank you Marlene, no one could have proven my point better than you.
