❗ PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING THE ORDER❗
🌱 Please review the listing photos and description to see what size of the plant to expect.
🌱 because you're purchasing online, the colors shown on the listing photos may be presented differently on different devices. Google this variety to check photos are taken by others using different devices, in different light conditions, and at the different stages of life of this particular hybrid.
🌱 we prep and harden our plants to do well during the shipment, even before making them available in our shop. In cold months, we gradually introduce them to cooler temperatures to build their resistance to potential short exposure to cold during transit. In warm months, we keep them outside in the open air, so they are acclimated to the current temperature. Because they are in the open air, some imperfections may occur, like a slight tear on a leaf from a raindrop.
🌱 we ship a plant in a small pot or cup. We use small size pots, so you don't have to pay extra for shipping a heavy pot. We do use a lot of paper to protect the plant in transit.
🌱 for delivery, we suggest to choose a USPS Priority Mail 2 day shipping for the best results in warmer months, and USPS Priority Mail Express for the best results in colder months. Please note that USPS may still take 2-3 days even if you ordered Express.
🌱 after placing the order, please check your email for the tracking number. We ship 3-5 days after the order is received, Mon-Wed only. We don't ship on weekends to avoid plants sitting in transit over the weekend.
🌱 our mail carriers know that there're live plants/perishable items inside, and they usually do a great job at handling our packages with urgency. But things may happen, so once we ship your order, please sign up for text/email notifications with a shipping vendor using your tracking number. Please reach out to a shipping vendor and us if you feel your package is stuck in transit.
🌱 because a plant shipped by mail, it will be stressed. Unfortunately, there's no way around it. It may wilt, it may drop a few leaves, it may bend its stem or it may come in pristine condition. Regardless, it will require your attention in the first few days. You are always welcome to reach out if you need more assistance in rehoming your new green friend.
🌱 once the package is shipped, it's outside of our control. While a mail carrier does an excellent job almost every time, there may be rare occasions of improper handling during transit which may result in a plant arriving damaged, like a broken stem, or exposed to extreme temperatures. In this case, please take photos and reach out to us within 48 hours of delivery, so we can help resolve the situation. We are a small business and will do our best to make it right.
🌱 we grow all of our plants from seeds or cuttings. We are passionate hobbyist growers who turned our hobby into a business to make it sustainable. We don't use chemicals or hard pesticides on our plants, to make sure they stay safe for your household and garden. We don't use hormones, so you can be sure that when a plant joins your collection it doesn't require anything else outside of minimally expected care. We use recycled packaging and recycled or repurposed plastic pots or cups for shipping, to keep waste from our landfills.
💚 We love our plants and want to share the joy of growing them with you. 💚
