We dispatch most things via FedEx. Occassionally we'll use Royal Mail or for large bulky orders, via a pallet courier. Orders delivered on a pallet are a kerbside delivery service.

Our standard delivery service costs £6 (free when you spend £80) and takes between 2-4 working days. Upgraded delivery services may be available based on your location.

Some locations may cost extra and take a little longer. For more information visit our delivery page here.

Issues

If your item has arrived with creased or slightly bent foliage, please don't be alarmed.

Most creases will normally drop out by themselves after a few days, or can be solved by smoothing them between your fingers. Other plants (that tend to have hundreds or thousands of leaves) tend to be wilder by design.

For more advice, see our guide to arranging faux plants, or feel free to get in touch with our team who will be happy to give product-specific advice..

If the creases and bends in your foliage are more extreme and detrimental, then it's probable that the item will need to be replaced. Please report a damage here and we'll be in touch to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Getting started

Read all guides

Repotting is just for real plants... right? Well not quite. Even though our fab faux's don't outgrow their pots, we do suggest you re-pot them when they arrive.

Most of our range arrive in a basic black pot (sometimes called a starter pot). This is basic and is designed to act as a base for the plant. Potting it into something a bit bigger and more decorative improves its stability and helps it fit into your décor.

Look at the details on the product page and check the pot dimensions. We typically suggest adding 2-10cm onto the width and going from there.

Selecting a pot towards the higher end of this range will really improve the plants stability. A top tip if you have small people or pets running around.

If you are still unsure, we'll offer some recommended pots when you add items to your basket. Or just get in touch.

Most plants arrive in a simple black pot. We suggest popping this into a more decorative one. This increases stability and helps the plant blend into your interior.

  1. Find a pot a little bit larger than the starter pot
  2. Pre-fill the pot with earth or sand if the pot is too deep
  3. Put the plant into the pot and fill around the starter pot
  4. Top off with decorative stones

For help, see our guide to arranging artificial plants.

Most of our faux trees will need a little sprucing up when they arrive. They’ll usually arrive looking a little bunched together from being packed in transit, but it only takes a few moments until they’re looking just like the real thing!

To arrange your artificial tree, start bending out the stems and leaves until you’re happy with the look, you can be pretty firm with them. Straighten out the leaves and enjoy your new fuss-free faux tree! For more info, read our guide to arranging artificial plants.

Trade & business

After factors such as ongoing maintenance, pots and plant feed are taken into account, artificial plants can cost substantially less over the course of their lifespan, providing a higher return on investment. The difference in cost becomes even more significant when comparing the cost of artificial plants verses natural plant hire and / or care companies.

Allergies like hay fever are incredibly common in the UK and lead to itchy eyes, stuffy noses and fuzzy headaches. Faux office plants are ideal as they bring many of the benefits of having greenery in the workplace but without this potential productivity-killing drawback.

Our trade scheme is specifically targeted at businesses who are specifying artificial plants in their clients' projects.

If you are shopping for your own business and have a project budget of over £2,000 then our business service can provide a full range of bespoke services. Learn more here.

For orders under £2,000 explore our commercial plants page, or our customer service team can offer advice and ideas to assist you. We'll provide discounted quotes for orders over £1,000.
