All our plants are living, growing, and delightfully unpredictable — so the one you receive may have its own unique colouring, leaf quirks, or growth patterns. Images are for illustrative purposes only and may show a plant at a more mature or earlier growth stage than the one you receive.
Product colours may also vary slightly depending on your screen settings and natural lighting. We do our very best to provide accurate photos and descriptions, but minor discrepancies can occur. By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept these natural and unavoidable variations.

Shipping

To give your plants the best possible journey, any live plant orders placed after 12pm Monday will ship the following week, so they spend the least amount of time in transit. Live plants are carefully packed and typically dispatched on Wednesdays and Thursdays to avoid weekend delays.
Fulfilment time frames are approximately 5–10 business days, depending on your location. Once dispatched, you’ll receive tracking via Australia Post so you can follow your order every step of the way.
Due to Australian bio-security regulations, we’re unable to ship live plants to Western Australia, Northern Territory, or Tasmania. Non-plant items can still be shipped Australia-wide.
Pre-order items are dispatched once all items in your order are ready. Estimated lead times will always be displayed on the product page.
