  • Plants can alter their appearance due to seasonal influence, or in response to different environmental conditions or stage of maturity. This phenomenon is known as phenotypic plasticity, and it is especially evident in Aquatic/Semiaquatic plants. Whilst we endeavour to portray a plant accurately, the plant you receive may have been growing under different conditions or be at a different stage of maturity to the one in the image(s) provided.

  • Aquatic/Semiaquatic plants will be shipped bare-rooted and wrapped in damp paper for protection when required.

  • Terrestrial/Epiphytic plants will be shipped bare-rooted and the roots wrapped in damp sphagnum moss for protection when required.
