Re: Nepenthes in YG
I am sure YG has their own ligetimate reasons for not selling to individual locally. Perhaps they are not so keen to sell to locals individually because they would become a competitor to their distribution channels, ie. other nurseries in Malaysia.
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. I have spoken to the bosses of YG and bought alot of plants from them before in the past. They are no where near arrogant. And by the way I bought in bulk from them, not a few pots.
During MAHA, when Ms. Cheong found out from Tarence that we were interested in Ceph, she purposely brought the stocks down in her own car from CH for us.
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.
