Purchasing Plants from Aroidia Research

In the course of our work, we germinate a lot of seeds and grow quantities of seedlings, not all of which are hybrids. Thus, we do have surplus plants resulting from our work, and we make these available for retail purchase via mail order, or visits by appointment only. Because our availability is almost constantly changing, you should email us to find out the current availability.

We may announce releases of one or more of our hybrid plants from time to time, and when we do, the sales will be made by mail order directly to the retail customers rather than to distributors or wholesalers. Anyone wishing to purchase such hybrid plant material must first request and complete our Non-Distribution Agreement (NDA) prior to ordering. We can only sell our hybrids to those who have a completed NDA on file with us.

Additionally, we are considering selling our "legacy" hybrids (Alocasia x calidora and Alocasia x portora), starting in 2008, directly via internet and mail order sales; as soon as we begin to do this, we will announce it here.

Recommended Vendors

At this time, the only businesses that we designate as "recommended" sellers of Alocasia x calidora and Alocasia x portora are those acknowledging the correct names and origin in their marketing. Others who do not provide this simple courtesy, yet sell the plants anyway, are not in any way recommended by us.

Our reason for suggesting this is that the only return we are getting for these two plants at this time is the acknowledgment that we are the ones who developed the plants.

If you are a vendor of these two plants, have the correct naming and origin information on your website and/or sales material, and do not see your firm listed here, please email us and we will consider you for inclusion on this list.
