Refund & Return Policy
Refunds will be issued to original method of payment or store credit. If we are unable to process a refund to your account, will offer a credit on a future order or re-shipment (subject to availability of items ordered). Please read below for IMPORTANT details.
Upon receipt of order--notify us about any problems or concerns within 48 hours.
After plants arrival, you are responsible for the care and environment provided to the plants. We professionally pack the plants, but some minor issues (a broken leaf or two, some loose soil) may happen in transit and are not considered damage. If plants arrived dead or heavily damaged (e.g., crown destroyed), please contact us witting 24 hours with clear photo of damage. We will issue a refund to your account or reship plants if available.
It is normal for plants to exhibit slow growth during first 1-2 months after receiving them from us as plants are acclimatizing to your growing conditions. If plants past acclimatizing period have visible signs of destress or looking unhealthy, please contact us. Most problems can be resolved if addressed in time. Don’t’ wait until the plant is nearly dead. Emails with photos, name of variety, and an outline of care and environment will allow us to understand and suggest our best corrective actions. If plant arrives with visible pests or (tested) disease, email with photos and we will issue refund to your account.
Most African violets will bloom within 3 months of receipt, given proper care. If your plant's first blooms are not true to description, please wait for a next flowering cycle. If plants continue to produce flowers not true to description (some variability is allowed), we will issue refund (if within 3 months) or replace/credit on future order if no true blooms appear after 3 months after receipt.
Please note: Variegation and flower color may vary with growing conditions and season. For example: degree of variegation is highly sensitive to temperature. Variegated varieties are more green during hot summer. Growing temperatures are not the only variability, soil pH, fertilizer, flower age, soil type, watering scheme could also be responsible for overall appearance of the plant as well as its general health. There natural changes or plant responders to your care do not qualify for returns or refunds.
Return of items. Please, do NOT return plants! Plants are perishable and may not survive the return trip back to us. Please read the above paragraphs and contact us with your concerns or problems.
