Plants
It’s completely normal for plants to experience a bit of stress when they arrive at a new home. This may show as slight wilting or a few yellowing leaves—nothing to worry about! It’s a temporary adjustment period as the plant settles into its new environment, and with the right care, it will quickly bounce back and thrive.
Just like us humans, plants aren’t perfect. They’re living things with their own unique character, and minor imperfections are a natural part of their life. What’s most important—and what we guarantee—is that your plant is healthy and ready to flourish with the proper care.
Just like when you're picking out a plant in person—there's always that moment of, "this one or that one looks nicer?"—each plant has its own unique charm. That's the beauty of nature!
On our end, we make that process easier for you. We work directly with trusted growers to select the best batches, and every plant goes through a 3-step quality check before it gets packed. If a plant doesn’t meet our health standards, we simply don’t send it out.
That’s what you get when shopping with us—healthy, happy plants that are ready to thrive in your space.
We offer free delivery above 99SGD for all orders within Singapore. To select your preferred delivery date, please select date at the cart page.
