recieved with a good root system, 2 spikes, only 2 buds lost during transportation even if the potting mix was all over the box instead of the pot, BUT I had to treat the full plant because it was full of mealybug larvaes (2 mealybug teen + hundred of tiny tiny crawlers + eggs) so it lost all his flower after only one week because it did not like to be treated against mealybugs (alcool + insecticidial soap) but I had no choice because it was full of tiny tiny crawlers who started to try to become adult. So if you buy it, respect a 2 months quarantine with weekly treatment as soon as you receive it if you don't want to end up loosing hours treating all your orchid collections.
