Products

Product Information

Due to the high effort involved, we kindly ask you to refrain from such requests. We strive to keep the images in our shop as up-to-date as possible and to add high-quality descriptions.
The term "bloom-strong" means that the plant is large enough to bloom, but it is not necessarily delivered in bloom. The blooming period is a time when the plants can preferably bloom.
You can find specific care instructions directly on our product pages. Also, follow the link to the general care instructions.
Cool: Day temperature 15–18 °C, night temperature 8–12 °C (e.g., Dracula, Masdevallia, Miltonia)
Temperate: Day temperature 18–24 °C, night temperature 12–16 °C (e.g., Cattleya, Dendrobium, Oncidium)
Warm: Day temperature 22–28 °C, night temperature 18–21 °C (e.g., Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Angraecum)
Exact care instructions can be found on the respective product page.
Young plant: Not yet ready to bloom – usually requires 1–3 years of cultivation time until the first bloom.
Adult plant: Ready to bloom, has already bloomed at least once or is about to bloom for the first time. In some offers, the plant is already in bud or bloom at the time of shipping – this is noted in the description.
Plants with the note "block culture – mounted" are delivered already mounted on a cork or tree fern block. You do not need to mount the plant yourself.
Currently, we do not send active product notifications, please check back from time to time.

Shipping and Delivery

Packaging

We place great importance on ensuring that your plants arrive safely and undamaged. For shipping, we use special packaging that protects the plants from cold if necessary. We also consider the weather conditions along the delivery route. Additionally, we ship several times a week throughout Europe to keep delivery times as short as possible. More information can be found on our Packaging page.

Shipping

If there are delays, we will inform you immediately. We work closely with our shipping partners to ensure that your order arrives as quickly as possible. However, in some countries, delivery times may be slightly longer.
You will receive an email from us with the shipping confirmation and a tracking link, allowing you to track the package at any time. With this email, the status of your order will change from "Open" to "Shipped". The tracking information is provided by our shipping partner, so we have no control over its timeliness.

Delivery

We ship packages throughout Europe with DHL.
From shipping, you can expect delivery within Germany to take about 1-3 business days. In Southern European countries, it may sometimes take a little longer. Our plants withstand shipping with normal transit times without any problems.

Plant Care After Receipt

Frequently Asked Questions

Please first take photos for documentation. Minor damages like a bent leaf are often not critical: Leave the leaf until it is completely dry – the plant still extracts nutrients from it. For more severe transport damages, please use our complaint option and send us the photos.
Clear, sticky drops on young shoots or flower stalks are usually completely normal. They are caused by natural nectar secretions from extrafloral nectaries – a normal physiological process.
In the case of pests (scale insects, mealybugs), you will also find small brown shields or cotton-like lumps on leaves and shoots. If in doubt, send us a photo via the contact form.
White or gray fungal mycelium on the substrate is usually not a problem: harmless saprobes decompose organic material (bark, peat). Act if roots are directly affected or the plant is weakening – then repot in fresh substrate and check roots for rot.
