TERMS OF SALE:
• Plants need proper care and attention to stay alive. Care and/or rooting instructions are included with every order, but it’s critical that buyers do their own research of the unique needs of your chosen plant so that it will succeed in the buyer's specific growing conditions. You are responsible for your plant’s needs or issues as they arise. The overall health of your plant will be dependent on your environment and the care that you provide. We are always happy to help if you have questions or are unsure how to proceed.

It is the buyer's responsibility to inform us of any particular desired characteristics or traits they may have in mind before we have shipped your order. Aspects such as size, color, branching type etc, can be requested by buyers and we will fulfill those requests if possible. Please message us directly or include your request in the note to seller section of your order.

• Once a plant(s) leave our care and is with the shipping courier, the burden of liability is transferred to the buyer

• We are not responsible for plants arriving damaged due to delayed transit time or weather-related harm. If the low temperatures are dipping below 40F, it is imperative and your responsibility to purchase a heat pack (a separate listing in our shop) with your order to ensure your plant(s) survive the cold journey ahead. Of course, if we catch that a cactus is destined for a cold climate, ( i.e New York in January) and you didn’t purchase a heat pack, we will message you requesting you to do so. You may choose to opt out if your temperatures are mild enough that the plant(s) has a decent chance of survival. Otherwise we will not send your package until you do so. After three business days of no response or action taken after the initial request, the order will be cancelled.

• We are not responsible for any courier error or mishandling that could occur. Examples include a crushed package, a lost package, a delayed package, or any other relevant instance. We are able to help file a claim with USPS and get a replacement sent to you. This is only possible after both the buyer and seller have completed the necessary steps outlined by USPS and their claim system. In the event of damaged plants while in transit, you must keep the box and materials it arrived in. This is in part due to USPS’s requirement to present the damaged materials to them as evidence after a claim submission.

• Please take time to check your plant’s condition as soon as it arrives. Any issues with your plant need to be reported to us within 48 hours of the delivered time stamp from USPS with detailed photos.

• If an error was made on our behalf, we will gladly issue a refund or send a replacement.
