We’ve made every effort to answer the questions our team receives most frequently in a clear and transparent way. If you don’t see what you’re looking for below, please reach out us via one of the methods on our contact page or by emailing info@allrareherbs.com.au
Our top priority is ensuring your plants arrive happy and healthy. Since you never know what a plant might encounter on its journey to your home, we ship each one in its nursery grow pot to provide the safest and most comfortable ride possible. Keeping plants in their grow pots during transit also helps minimize the stress and shock that can occur if they’re repotted before leaving the greenhouse.
The short answer: no. First, give your plant time to adjust to its new home. Place it where you plan to keep it and allow it to acclimate for about two weeks.
During this time, your plant is adapting to its new environment the light, temperature, and humidity in your home are different from those in a greenhouse. Once it has settled in, you can repot it into a ceramic planter if you’d like.
You may notice that your new planter is wider than the nursery grow pot. That extra space is intentional, giving your plant room to grow when you decide it’s ready for repotting. But repotting is completely optional if your plant still has space to grow in its nursery pot and looks healthy and happy, there’s no need to do anything at all.
If your plant arrived healthy but isn’t thriving anymore, reach out to us with photos we’re happy to help troubleshoot what might be happening. Sometimes plants simply need a few weeks to adjust to their new environment, whether that’s your home or office. However, if your plant’s health continues to decline within its first month, we’ll replace it under our 14-Day Customer Happiness Guarantee.
We take great care in packing and preparing our plants for transit; however, plants are living items, and minor movement or cosmetic damage can occasionally occur during shipping.
If your plant arrives significantly damaged or you believe there is an issue with its condition upon arrival, please get in touch with us within 14 days of delivery with:
– Clear photos of the plant and packaging
– Your order number
– A brief description of the issue
Please avoid discarding the plant or packaging until we’ve reviewed the claim.
Many plants recover well from minor transit stress, especially herbs and fast-growing varieties, and we may first provide care advice to help the plant settle in successfully.
Where a plant is confirmed to have arrived in unacceptable condition, we will work with you to provide an appropriate resolution in line with Australian Consumer Law.
