Occasionally, you may find reused bubble wrap – this has been donated to us, and we encourage you to reuse it too.
Orders are usually packed and dispatched within 2–4 working days. We may occasionally delay dispatch during periods of extreme weather to protect your plants. We always prioritise plant health over speed of delivery.
Delivery is £4.99 for any number of items, or free on orders over £60. We deliver across the UK only.
We also offer local, bike-powered delivery in Bristol for £4.99 via Pedal Collective, a gentler option for plants and the planet.

Everyone needs a lovely leafy palm and the Areca Palm is a great investment. These specimens are table-top size now but if looked after they will grow 15-25cm a year and can get up to a towering 2m tall!
These plants are fairly easy to care for and don't have any particularly odd requirements but they don't handle drought well so make sure to keep up with the watering keeping the soil lightly moist throughout the summer.
Notes
- Likes very bright, indirect light.
- Keep the soil consistently moist in the summer - allow top layer of soil to dry in winter
- Mist occasionally
- May benefit from plant feed in summer months
- Pet-safe
