Re: africa-seeds.com
I don't have any direct experience with them, but the one review page I found (on trustpilot) basically says they're completely unknowledgeable and/or a scam.
Looking at the site, I see some red flags:
- They're offering a lot of hard-to-find seeds that would get sold out almost immediately on seed lists I order from, yet they can offer them in stupid quantities (for example, 100 seeds of Yavia??? unlikely)
- Everything seems to be "on sale"
- If they truly have so many customers as they claim, I'd expect them to have testimonials from those "17 botanical gardens" and more reviews from external sites
and above all that those prices are insanely high and they claim most of their seed is wild-sourced. At the numbers they supposedly have I'd say it's unethical to boot.
I'd stay far away from this place.

Growing mostly under LED lights, in northern latitudes. Especially interested in stem succulents and caudiciforms. Dreaming of my first greenhouse.
