REGARDING CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Please be aware that we do not include printed care instructions with your shipment. However, detailed care guidelines are provided in the product listing description for your reference.
These guidelines are general and based on typical growing conditions. Since we ship from California, your local climate and geographic conditions may differ significantly. For this reason, we are unable to provide additional advice on plant care beyond the general instructions already provided.
We encourage you to do your own research to better understand the specific needs of your plants. This includes decisions about when to repot, resoil, or make other care adjustments, as these factors depend on your unique environment and growing conditions.
We appreciate your understanding and wish you success in caring for your plants! 🌱

Dear Valued Customer,

While we make every effort to package your plants carefully to ensure they arrive safely, please understand that once the package is handed over to the shipping company, it is out of our control. Plants can sometimes become stressed during the shipping process as they are confined within a box for several days.

At the time of packing and shipping, we always choose the best of our current stock to send out. Your plants are selected to be as healthy and in as good condition as possible, considering the current season and pruning schedules.

It is crucial that you retrieve your package as soon as it’s delivered. Tracking information will be provided when your package is shipped. Prolonging retrieval can expose your plant to extreme temperatures, which may result in damage such as loss of leaves, wilting, and dryness. This is natural and to be expected; with proper care, your plant should bounce back to its optimal condition.

Please consider this before placing an order. If your plant arrives in a condition beyond recovery, contact us within 24 hours of receipt with pictures, and we will address the issue promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
