You must be able to return the product within this period. There is, however, an exception for perishable products, such as plants. We naturally hate to see you dissatisfied. In that case, please always send a message to support@casa-botanica.com with photos of the plant(s) so we can assist you further.

Do I have a guarantee on my order?

All our plants are always fresh from the grower and therefore of the highest possible quality. If, despite this, you're not satisfied with the quality, we're very sorry. Please send us a message via the contact form so we can assist you further.

If no photos of the plants are available to share with us, the warranty will be void.

Plants

Can I reserve or pre-order a plant?

During the LiveSale on Instagram, you can preview and order your favorite plant.

How do I acclimatize my plant?

Special plants are often grown in ideal conditions and need time to adjust to their new surroundings. After receiving your plant, place it in a bright spot out of direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. Leave the plant alone for at least 5–7 days to acclimatize before repotting or fertilizing.


How much water does my plant need?

It's crucial to water your plant as needed, rather than at fixed intervals. Otherwise, you risk watering too quickly and/or too much, which a plant can't tolerate. As a handy tool, we sell hygrometers in our webshop. With one hygrometer, you can give all your plants the perfect care, because you'll never overwater or underwater again. Do you have specific care questions about a particular plant? Feel free to contact our customer service. We're happy to help! 


How much light does my plant need?

Most specialty plants grow naturally under the canopy of tropical forests and therefore need plenty of indirect light . Avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the leaves. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. Consider using a grow light in low-light conditions.


Are there any tips for maintaining leaves and roots?

Wipe the leaves with a soft cloth to remove dust and improve light absorption. Check regularly for aerial roots or root rot. Give climbing plants' aerial roots the opportunity to develop; they help the plant absorb moisture.


When should I repot my plant?

Repot only after the acclimatization period of at least two weeks. Use an airy substrate with adequate drainage, such as a mix of coir, perlite, bark, and a little potting soil. For some species, a special mix is recommended—we're happy to advise you.


What humidity is ideal?

Special plants like anthuriums, philodendrons, and hoyas prefer high humidity (60–80%). A humidifier, air plants nearby, or a bowl of water on the radiator can all help. Avoid dry, drafty areas.


Can I choose my own plant?

If there is a green dot with '1 piece as pictured' next to the photo of the plant, it concerns a selected plant and you will receive the plant from the photo. In all other cases you will receive a plant as in the description of the photo (note the pot size).

Can I visit the nursery?

No, unfortunately it is not possible to visit our greenhouse except on open days.

My plant has a damaged/less attractive leaf, what now?

A plant, like humans, is a living organism. The occasional loss of a leaf is a natural process. We inspect all plants before shipping. If a leaf is unexpectedly damaged or less attractive upon receipt, this does not constitute grounds for replacement or refund.


Are the plants I see exactly what I receive?

The photos on our site are representative, but because each plant is unique, there may be slight variations in color, shape, and size. For rare specimens, we explicitly indicate if it's a "1 Piece" item.


Dispatch

What are the shipping costs?

When you enter your address details, the shipping costs to your country will become visible.

How are the plants packaged for international shipping?

Our plants are carefully packed in specially designed boxes with protective material and, if necessary, heat packs. This keeps them safe and sound during transport, even over long distances.

What if my plant arrives damaged?

Unfortunately, packages aren't always handled carefully during transport. If both your package and the plants are damaged, please send us photos clearly showing the damage, preferably within 48 hours of receipt. Take clear photos of the outside of the box, the inside of the box, the address label, and, of course, the damaged plants. We'll work with you to find a solution, such as a replacement or refund.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we ship to almost all countries worldwide. Shipping costs are automatically calculated at checkout based on your location. We can ship plants outside the EU and Europe, but phytosanitary restrictions may apply. Therefore, please contact us first to discuss the options.

Can I choose a specific shipping date?

Yes, in many cases you can specify a preferred shipping date at checkout. We'll do our best to accommodate your preference.

What is your return or warranty policy?

Plants can only be returned if damaged in transit or incorrectly delivered. Accessories can be returned in their original condition within 14 days.
