FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions.

In order to make sure that your plant arrives in a happy, healthy condition, our plants ship in their nursery grow pot. Allowing plants to stay in their nursing pots during shipping helps reduce the risk of stress and shock that can happen if they were re-potted before leaving the greenhouse. 

If you paired your plant with one of our decorative planters, the nursery pot will be nestled inside it.  

Once you receive your plant, it is recommended that you place your plant at the spot where you want to keep it, and leave it there, in its nursing pot, for at least 6 months; allowing it to adjust to its new environment. If you have a decorative pot you want to place your plant in, just nestle the nursery pot into that pot.

The short answer is, no.

 First, let your plant acclimate to its new environment. Place the plant in the spot you plan to keep it in and let it settle in for about two weeks.

When your plant has adjusted to your home’s light levels and temperature, you can pot it into its ceramic planter, if you choose. But remember, this is optional: as long as your plant still has room to grow in its nursery grow pot, and looks happy and healthy, you don’t need to lift a finger! You can always place the nursing pot into your decorative pot, which will also act as a saucer. Plus you can always take out the plant for a shower and wash the pot easily. Do what works best for you! Do not be afraid to try different methods for different plants.

A care card with expert tips & tricks so that you never kill your houseplant.

And a lot of good wishes from team Plantale.

Note: Each plant is unique; size, color and shape may vary slightly so all measurements are shown as a range.

Consider the following questions while selecting a plant for your space:

How much light you have?

A spot with lot of bright indirect light gives you a lot of options while compared to a dark space with little or no light. But we have a plant for each setting and you can always use a grow light if natural light isn’t good enough.

How much time you have to care for the plant?

Some plants can go without water for a week or two, others may need more frequent care. In the description of each plant we’ve mentioned the requirements. Plus you can always contact us on live chat to help you choose the best plant suited for you. 

What style and size you like?

It all depends on what you like. Don’t worry about the space, plants make their own space once you welcome them in. Some may like tree like plants, others may like flowering ones or creepers, that’s totally on you.
If you have a green thumb, you may want a plant baby and grow it yourself, or you just can’t wait to have an urban jungle, you may choose fully grown plants. We have different sizes for the same type of plants that you can choose from.
