Shop guidelines
Last updated Sep 16, 2026
By ordering through Palmstreet, you're agreeing to the terms of my plant and pottery shop! Please take a moment to read these guidelines so your experience is smooth and enjoyable. 🛑🌱Plant Disclaimer: Pings are delicate plants, and shipping always causes some level of stress. It's normal for your ping to use nutrients from its oldest leaves as it recovers, which may make those leaves decline. Please allow 2-4 weeks for new growth to appear. 🛑🏺Handmade Pottery Disclaimer: All pottery pieces are handmade by me in small batches. Because of this, each piece will have its own personality. Slight variations in shape, thickness, glaze flow, or symmetry are normal and part of the charm of handcrafted ceramics. My pottery style is intentionally simple and functional. I throw with thinner bases and use minimal finishing so pieces stay lightweight, efficient to produce, and true to my aesthetic. Many forms are made without trimmed feet, both to maintain their clean silhouette and because trimming adds a full extra stage to the process, increasing production time and, in turn, the final cost of the piece.

These features do not affect use and are reflected in the discounted price. All seconds are clearly labeled in their listings. 📦 SHIPPING • Please bid with care. All sales are final. • Boxes close every Sunday; all orders ship Monday - Wednesday. • Plants ship bare root for safe travel. • Plants ship via 3 day to ensure safe arrival. • Pottery ships via ground services due to weight and fragility. • Pottery may arrive separately from plant orders. • Combined orders will be packed to minimize breakage risk. • Make sure your shipping address is correct and secure. • If a carrier mishap occurs (lost, damaged, or severely delayed), I’ll work with you on a replacement or store credit. • Replacements depend on plant availability. • Pottery pieces are one-of-a-kind. If a piece arrives broken, I'll provide a selection of similar pots of equal value to choose from. In rare cases, the piece may need to be remade, which can take 4-6 weeks. • Proof of carrier issue may be requested (tracking screenshots, photos, etc.). • Refunds always match the amount actually paid. ‼️ Orders from Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico may require additional shipping charges. If I determine that I’m unable to ship your plant safe or in a timely manner, your order may be canceled and refunded. 🌱 LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE • Record an unboxing video within 24 hours of delivery — this helps me help you! • Video proof = full refund or replacement (including shipping). • Photos only = item refund or store credit (minus shipping). • Pings often lose stickiness in transit — don’t worry, they usually bounce back in 1–2 weeks. • Weather damage without purchased protection isn’t covered. • Guarantee does not apply if packages are: • left outside, • misdelivered due to incorrect address, or • not retrieved promptly. • Unboxing video must show the plant in its original packaging. 📝 Please note: Minor cosmetic issues (like bent leaves, slight bruising, or reduced stickiness) are normal in transit and not covered by the guarantee. The guarantee applies only to plants that arrive severely damaged or non‑viable. 💬 COMMUNICATION & FEEDBACK • I’m a new seller and want you to love your plants and pots! If something feels off, message me before leaving a review. I’ll do my best to make it right. • I love seeing arrival updates and growth pics 🌸 • For care questions, feel free to reach out. As a small shop, replies may take up to 48 hours. ❌ CANCELLATIONS • Requests made before a label is created may be approved with a 25% restocking fee. • Once the label is printed, cancellations aren’t possible and the order will ship. • Sale, auction, or discounted items may not be eligible for cancellation. —•—•—•—•—•—💚—•—•—•—•—•— 🪴 PINGUICULA (Mexican Butterwort) CARE BASICS 📚Purchase my care guide for more detailed notes and acclimation instructions. • Substrate: Nutrient‑poor, well‑draining mixes. • 3:1:1 — perlite, peat, vermiculite • 2:1 — perlite, Fluval Stratum • Temperature: Tolerates ~50–85°F. • Lighting: Bright grow lights encourage vibrant color. • Feeding: Every 2–4 weeks with dried bloodworms if natural prey is scarce. • Watering: Keep at least ~1 cm of water in the tray; let dry for a day occasionally to prevent root rot. • Water Quality: Use water with <50 TDS (distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater). • Humidity: Maintain ~50–75% RH. In dry climates, keep above 50% with trays or humidifiers, but avoid >80% to prevent mold and crown rot.
While we encourage sellers to establish clear and detailed shop policies, these policies must align with Palmstreet’s platform policies and Terms and Conditions.
If there is a conflict between a seller’s shop policies and Palmstreet’s platform policies, our platform’s policies take precedence. This ensures a consistent and equitable experience for all users.
