What shipping carrier do you use?

Shipping Policy

  • Carriers: We ship all orders via UPS or Canada Post.
  • Delays: While we ship on time, please note that carriers may experience delays due to weather, routing changes, or operational disruptions. These are outside of our control.
  • No PO Boxes: We are unable to ship to PO Boxes.

What growing medium do you use?

To encourage healthy root development and reduce the risk of overwatering, most of our plants are grown insoilless mediums. Depending on the plant’s needs, we may use pure sphagnum moss, a sphagnum perlite mix, pure perlite, or LECA (pon).

What should I do when my plant arrives?

Carefully remove all packaging and allow your plant a little time to recover from its journey. Check the soil—if it feels completely dry, give it a light watering; if it’s still slightly damp, wait a few days before watering again. Place your plant in a spot with good airflow and indirect, gentle light. Over the next week, gradually introduce it to its ideal lighting conditions so it can settle in comfortably.

What soil mix do you recommend?

At Plantalure, we grow nearly all our plants in soilless mediums to encourage healthy root development. For larger mother plants or mature specimens, we sometimes use a custom blend of ProMix, orchid bark, and perlite, which provides excellent structure, aeration, and drainage.

How do I water plants grown in sphagnum moss?

Our sphagnum moss is packed to hold moisture while still allowing airflow and quick drying. To water, simplypour water slowly over the top of the pot until it’s saturated, then let the moss absorb it naturally. Avoid keeping the moss constantly soggy allow it to dry slightly before watering again. In lower humidity, you can lightly mist aerial roots to keep them hydrated and happy.
