🌿 Our 7-day Plant Promise

Buying plants online can feel risky – that’s why every order comes with our 7-day Plant Promise.

If anything goes wrong in transit, just get in touch and we’ll help put it right.

Every plant is carefully packed by our small, plant-loving Bristol team using protective, mostly plastic-free packaging.

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.

We believe in paying people fairly, that’s why we’ve been a Real Living Wage Employer from the very beginning. We’re an independent Bristol business, packing every order ourselves.

Supporting us means supporting fair work.

Questions before ordering? Just drop us a message – we’re always happy to help.

Head to our contact page and fill in the contact form and one of the team will be in touch shortly

sWe love using sphagnum moss for propagation, and also use it in our living and fresh foliage wreaths to great effect! We haven't found any hitchhikers in there yet but have started lots of cuttings in Sphagnum Moss to use in our terrariums or grow on into their own pots.


Amounts for wreath making;
8" wire wreath ring = 1-3 loose litres
10" wire wreath ring = 3-5 loose litres
12" wire wreath ring = 4-6 loose litres
14" wire wreath ring = 5-7 loose litres
16" wire wreath ring = 6-8 loose litres

The above is to be used as a guide only. When measuring the moss we don't press it down to measure as is done as loose litres. 



Scientific Name
Sphagnum platyphyllum (wide-leaved moss)

Common Name
Sphagnum Moss, Peat Moss, Broad-Leaved Sphagnum, Carpet Sphagnum, Flat-Leaved Peat Moss, Bog Moss, Water-Holding Moss, Swamp Sphagnum, Pom Pom Moss

Origin
Sphagnum mosses are native across the Northern Hemisphere.

Light
To keep Sphagnum Moss happy, make sure it gets some daylight but no direct sun.

Water
Keep Sphagnum Moss moist all the time; it can rehydrate from drying out a little but will need soaking. It prefers rainwater or filtered water over tapwater if possible.

Humidity
High humidity is the perfect environment for Sphagnum Moss, which makes it ideal for prop boxes!

Soil
N/A

Food
N/A - Sphagnum Moss thrives in nutrient-poor areas

Temperature
Sphagnum Moss grows best between 20-25°C, but can cope with drastic overnight drops in temperature, and is fully hardy in the UK.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!
