As mentioned earlier they are a wholesaller with one retail shop in CH. So if you are buying in bulk from them they will sell to you and it may be cheaper. I think it is not that they are arrogant.

They have a few nurseries and yes, alot of plants. They purchase in bulk tissue culture plants and grow them by the thousands. They do not only distribute to the nurseries in Malaysia and Singapore but other countries overseas.

It's just like EP where they have a minimum order of Aus$500.00 before they would sell you any plant. That's because they cater more for nurseries rather than individuals, but of course if we can afford the Aus$500.00 or we joint together and make a group purchase, they will sell to us.
Thanks David for clearing up everything.When i said they were arrogant i didn't really mean it .Ep's minimum oder seems to be quite a lot.Definitly it'll take us a group purchase if we wanted to get anything like that.
