🌿ACCLIMATING
- Some plants can experience shipping stress and it’s best to wait until you see new growth before repotting.
- One of the best parts about plant parenthood is there is no “right way” to care for any plant. Experimenting with different growing methods that suit your environment is the best way to develop your "green thumb".

🌿SHIPPING
- I take pride in offering plants & products of the highest quality and do my best to package orders with utmost care. However, it isn’t always possible to prevent unforeseen issues due to shipping delays.

🌿PACKAGING
- Orders are packed carefully and securely using recycled materials.
- Gently unwrap your plant and give it a drink of water to perk back up.
