Mark Piette Epi Galleria

I don't know what's going on with this company but don't waste your time and money trying to order from them. I placed an order thru their website on June 8 2022. After three weeks I emailed them - no response. After four weeks I emailed them again and got no response. I contacted PayPal and am getting my money back. I also tried to call twice and couldn't get thru on the phone number on their website. Crappy experience !!

Having just resolved a nightmare order with a different mail order site, I checked my email for an unsolicited note to Mark last fall regarding an order I placed with him. Luckily, I had kept it so with a little cutting and pasting: (sent on September 9th, 2011): Hi Mark - Janelle xxxxxx here. I received the epis I ordered plus the bonus "gift" - thank you so much. This is my first time ordering and I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for making it "idiot proof" for newbies! I followed your instructions to the tee - with one exception - in IL I could not find leaf mold so I made a mix of a premium potting mix (1/3), perlite (1/3), and orchid mix (1/3). It is a nice, light mix and I think the cuttings like it because I finally gave them their first small drink last night because I saw new growth as well as some aerial roots sprouting up :) I had been giving them a mist every other day. Please don't have a stroke - lol - I planted them all together in a large hanging pot (you will notice I purchased a mix of white, yellow and orange) because I have a large window begging for a large plant - I will let you know how it works out. I just thought you would like to know - I had purchased a few on July 31st from Glass House Works (I still don't have them even though I have requested information multiple times). I ordered from you on August 12th - received beautiful cuttings (only one looked skinny/sad) and now I already have new growth!!!!!! Kudos - nice large cuttings, beautifully wrapped for shipping, wonderfully tagged labels taped on each showing which end to plant - you are the greatest! Feel free to use this email on your site - I hope it brings you even more business because you are one of the "good guys"- Janelle (end of email) Each cutting I received from Mark is thick, healthy, and thriving - all started new growth throughout the fall. I can't wait until late Spring here in IL so I can get them outside to see what they will do with a full growing season! btw - Mark responded to my original email with a thank you for sending it and advice about planting multiple cuttings with different growth patterns in a large pot :) You live - you learn! Mark is highly knowledgable in both epis and business - search for epi galleria - you will be glad you did.

Very nice cuttings that are meant to be successfully rooted. Mark has made rooting idiot-proof. There is no way you will even plant the cuttings upside down as he has a directional arrow built in to how he attaches the plant label. True to name, too. Don't like having to use Paypal, though. Wish site offered direct credit card purchases.

I have purchased 3 times from this vendor and have another order on the way. The cuttings are nice and I have had no problem with rooting them. All cuttings are established growth ( not new growth that won't root) and seem to be growing well. I will buy from him again.
