YiYLunneo White Lily of the Valley 10 Pips - Convallaria - Great for Shade !!

All my pips sprouted! However two quickly died after sprouting. No idea why, they were on opposite sides of my garden, and all of them received relatively the same conditions. But I’m so happy with my purchase!

As soon as I opened the padded envelope, I felt I was in trouble. There were only two of them with any green pips showing and the rest were bare roots. I don’t believe the other 8 would survive if I had planted them in the ground, so I used pots and a pro mix soil and potted them so I could control the moisture.1) An information sheet came in the package. Near the bottom of it included a sentence. “Because I have no control over how bulbs/root systems are cared for once they leave me, I cannot refund or replace for any reason other than them being damages upon arrival. I do send out healthy bulbs and root systems from plants that have already flowered, and they should grow with proper care.”2) The tracking information showed these were shipped on May 20 and I received them (bare roots) in a padded envelope by USPS on May 28.Update June 26 -28 days later: The 2 with green pips are still green but haven’t grown, one little pip has shown in one pot and nothing for the rest of them. VERY DISAPPOINTED

They came well wrapped and moist, in good condition. Put in the fridge still in the packaging and planted two days later. I'm in NE North Carolina (newly rezoned and growing zone 8) so I planted in complete shade with only indirect sun. I remember these small fragrant plants from my childhood in WI so know that they may struggle but am so very hopeful they do ok. They came up within a week and the foliage looks great. Still waiting on the little bell blooms...i need more patience, sigh.

Unfortunately these didn't make it & returns aren't offered. Shame when you spend money on an item that you can't control what happens after purchasing but it is what it is I guess, not much I could do. My 90 yr old grandmother wanted these & I decided to order another set from Etsy that have bloomed perfectly & gram is very happy with.

I am I little disheartened as I am I total novice regarding growing anything and don’t know if I am making progress or not. Received pips on Nov 19,2021. Planted apx Nov 28th. Planted inside in pot to control temp/moisture/sun exposure. Live in north central Texas. Plants get about 30 min of direct sunlight then the rest of the day it’s indirect sunlight. Water about every 7 days along with a little plant food. When the surface area of the potting soil appears dry, I feel the soil just below the surface to determine if the soil still has moisture and water accordingly. At the time of this posting, pips have grown only a minuscule amount but they are finally growing. Temperature is kept around 65-68 degrees. Am I not doing something I should be doing ? Plants seem to be growing at an excruciatingly slow rate. Pips when received from seller were in good condition and received more than ordered. Just don’t feel like I am doing enough although the real problem may be me in that I inspect the pips every day expecting great strides and see tiny tiny baby steps (a watched pot never boils). Any comments appreciated.

Arrived looking poorly. None made it.

The pips showed up with mites on them. I attempted to kill the mites and still planted them to see if I could save them. The flowers did not make it as the mites remained and killed the flowers. I have now seen mites in other flower pots in my house and I’m worried that this purchase is going to kill all the flowers in my house

I'll admit, I was dubious about ordering live plants online. When the package came it looked like a bag of Spanish moss. Once I opened the bag and saw the little Pips I gently separated them and planted them. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they took to the area I picked. The best part was I actually got flowers within the first 3 weeks! I didn't think that was going to happen so soon. I can't wait until they mature enough that the smell will overwhelm me!
