Frequently Asked Questions
Will my plant arrive healthy and alive?
Yes! Every plant is hand-selected and carefully packed to arrive healthy. If your plant arrives damaged or in poor condition, contact us within 48 hours with a picture, and we’ll replace or refund it — no worries.
How are the plants packaged for shipping?
We use custom, eco-friendly boxes that keep your plant snug and protected. Each pot is wrapped to prevent soil spillage, and leaves are cushioned for a safe trip.
How long will shipping take?
We ship orders within 12 hours on working days. Delivery usually takes [1-2 days] depending on your location. You’ll get a tracking number once your plant ships.
What if my plant dies soon after arrival?
We offer a 30 day healthy plant guarantee. If your plant doesn’t make it despite proper care, send us a photo within that time and we’ll make it right.
Do you ship in cold or hot weather?
Yes, with care! During cold months we use heat packs and insulation; in hot months, we use breathable packaging. If the weather is extreme, we may delay shipping to protect your plant.
Unpacking & First Care
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Unpack it as soon as possible! Remove all wrapping carefully, check the soil moisture, and place the plant in bright, indirect light to help it settle after its journey.
My plant looks a bit droopy after shipping — is that normal?
Yes! Plants can experience mild stress from travel. Give it 2–3 days in gentle light, avoid repotting immediately, and water lightly if the soil is dry. Most plants perk up quickly.
Should I water my plant right after it arrives?
Check the soil first. If it feels dry an inch below the surface, water lightly. If it’s still moist, wait a few days before watering again — overwatering too soon can cause stress.
What if there’s some soil out of the pot or a broken leaf?
Minor soil displacement or leaf damage can happen during transit — it’s normal and doesn’t harm the plant’s health. Gently remove any broken leaves and give the plant a few days to recover.
Can I repot my new plant right away?
It’s best to wait about 2–4 weeks before repotting. This gives the plant time to adjust to its new environment. When ready, use fresh, well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes.
What’s the best spot to put my new plant?
Most plants prefer bright, indirect light — near a window but not in direct sun. Avoid placing it next to heating vents, air conditioners, or drafty doors.
Outdoor Plant Care Questions
When should I repot or transplant my plant?
If roots are growing out of the drainage holes or the plant seems crowded, it’s time to repot. The best time to repot or transplant is spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing.
What do I do with my outdoor plants during winter?
If your plants are frost-sensitive, move them to a sheltered spot or indoors before temperatures drop. Hardy plants can stay outside — just add a layer of mulch around the base to protect roots from freezing.
How often should I water my outdoor plants?
It depends on the type of plant and your local climate. Most outdoor plants prefer the soil to stay evenly moist but not soggy. During hot weather, they may need watering every day or two; in cooler or rainy conditions, once or twice a week is enough. Always check the top inch of soil — if it’s dry, it’s time to water.
Should I fertilize my plants?
Yes, but not too much! Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Too much fertilizer can burn roots or cause excessive leaf growth with fewer flowers.
How do I prevent pests or diseases?
Keep plants healthy with proper watering and airflow. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves and check the undersides for pests like aphids or spider mites. If you notice an issue, treat it early with a mild insecticidal soap or neem oil spray.
How do I help my plant recover from shipping stress?
A little drooping after shipping is normal. Place your plant in indirect light for a few days, water if the soil feels dry, and avoid fertilizing right away. Once it perks up, you can move it to its permanent outdoor spot.
How can I make my plants grow faster or bloom more?
Give them consistent care — the right amount of sun, water, and nutrients. Deadhead spent flowers, prune when needed, and avoid stressing the plant. Healthy, happy plants always grow and bloom better.
Do I need to prune my outdoor plants?
Yes, occasional pruning keeps your plants healthy and shapely. Remove dead or damaged stems and faded flowers. Some species also benefit from light trimming to encourage new growth.
