Frequently Asked questions
How much water should i put in the vase?
You only want to cover the roots with water, and not the bulb or the green stem at all. A good rule of thumb is to cover three-quarters of the roots with water. UNLESS you have an areca bamboo or heart-leaf philodendron, in which case you can fill the entire vase with water.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. In Cape Town, we have a driver that delivers on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and we dispatch any other orders with a courier. We will always send you delivery and/or tracking details.

Yes! we can safely delivery anywhere in SA and your plant will arrive healthy and strong. We send our plants with a courier, so make sure you open the box as soon as possible and add the plants to water.

We will evaluate the situation and at our discretion, send you a new plant if necessary or accept a return. Please note that care instructions must be strictly followed and no plants will be replaced or refunded after 10 days of purchase.
