FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are carefully selected from our European partner producers.
Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected by breathable and secure packaging.
Each package is designed to ensure that your plant arrives in perfect health and without stress related to transport.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos shown are true to the variety and the announced size (pot diameter and approximate height).
Each plant being unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or shade may exist — that is what makes them so charming!
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery throughout Europe.
Plants are shipped from Monday to Wednesday to prevent them from being stuck over the weekend.
You receive a tracking link as soon as the package is dispatched.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package upon receipt, carefully remove the plant from its packaging and let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering it.
If it has slightly suffered from transport, it will quickly regain its shape after one or two days in the light.
Can I put this plant outside?
It depends on the species. Most indoor plants prefer a bright place without direct sunlight, while outdoor plants like more direct light.
Refer to the exposure advice in the product description to know if it is suitable for a balcony, a terrace, or indoors.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
If your plant appears to have suffered during transport, contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the problem.
Our team will take the time to assess the situation and find the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Your satisfaction and the health of your plant remain our priority 🌿.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, we do not accept standard returns.
However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge.
For any other case (order error, cache-pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
