Our number one priority is that our plants arrive in happy, healthy condition. You never know what adventures a plant can get into making its way to your home! Our plants ship in their nursery grow pot to allow for a safe and comfy ride all the way to your doorstep. Allowing plants to stay in their grow pot while being shipped helps reduce the risk of stress and shock that could happen if they were to be potted in a new planter before leaving the greenhouse.
If you paired your plant with one of our planters, the grow pot will be securely nestled inside. For large plants and planters, including faux plants, the planter will ship separately from the large plant due to its weight.
In our stores, we offer to freshly pot plants in-store for our customers. Plants potted in our shops have a shorter journey to your home so we love offering this service for local plant parents.

The short answer is, no. First, let your plant acclimate to its new environment. Place the plant in the spot you plan to keep it in. Let it settle in for about two weeks.
After two weeks, your plant has adjusted—your home’s light levels and temperature differ from a greenhouse!—and you can pot it into its ceramic planter, if you choose. You might notice your plant’s earthenware planter is wider than the plant’s nursery pot. This space is for your plant to grow into, should you choose to repot it. But remember, this is optional: as long as your plant still has room to grow in its nursery grow pot, and looks happy and healthy, you don’t need to lift a finger!
For some, the mantra ‘plant care is self care’ means the convenience of leaving it in the nursery grow pot and for others, it may mean getting your hands dirty to repot. Do what works best for you! Do not be afraid to try different methods for different plants.

We guarantee your plants will arrive in happy, healthy condition. If not, we replace them for free as part of our 30-Day Customer Happiness Guarantee. It’s natural for live plants to show minor signs of stress after transit but if the damage is beyond minor blemishes*, reach out to us within 30 days of receipt to receive a free replacement.
The guarantee applies to all online and in-store purchases within the first 30 days. We require photos as proof of damage and to help us improve our packaging process. You can also bring an online order into any of our shops for a replacement. Inventory online and in-store differs, so we recommend calling your closest shop in advance to ensure availability.
*Remember, it’s natural for live plants to show minor signs of stress after transit. You can help your plant perk up from its journey by gently pruning any foliage damaged during the shipping process, such as bent stems or yellow leaves. Removing damaged foliage gives your plant back energy for new, healthy growth.
