It is our mission to be as transparent as possible always. If you need us to hold your plant, not a problem. • Lost/Delayed Packages: We will assist in tracking and resolving issues with the courier. Note that minor imperfections like a bent stem or broken leaf may occur and are considered normal for live plant transit. ⸻ Happy Shopping 🪴
