*** New Information for Western Australia Customers ***
All plants imported into WA are required to be inspected by quarantine. Every time quarantine makes an inspection a fee is charged and unfortunately this has fallen to the importer / customer.
We were previously unaware of this as we are certified to send plants to WA and also obtain the pre-approval required. Up until recently we have had no issues.
We have now made an agreement with WA Quarantine to incur the inspection fees on behalf of the customer. By doing this we have had to unfortunately raise the Permit and Treatment fee slightly to help us cover this cost.
We only post to WA 'ONCE A MONTH'.

We do not give refunds after posting and cannot be held responsible for the plants once they are in your care.

After plants arrive:
- Will my succulents be alright in the mail?
- I have got my parcel and my plants look very dry / withered / wrinkly, why is this? Will they survive?
- What do I do with my plants now they have arrived?
We post and send all our plants bare rooted. We allow the plants to dry for a few days before postage to remove any excess of moisture from around the plant, so they do not arrive with any fungal or rotting issues during postage from being moist and packed in a confined space.
- How and where do I plant my succulents?
- Pot up your new succulents into your desired pot using a - DRY succulent potting mix.
- Place your pots in an airy environment in either semi shade or a bright location, protect it from direct sunlight and frost.
- After a week or more - new pink roots will start to grow. Once the plants have new roots you can give them a watering in. After watering check the weight of the pot. Plants will need watering again when the pot becomes light or the leaves look a bit dehydrated.
- Exception care for winter season:
Due to the postage process they will often appear a little dehydrated, wrinkly, and/or soft. This is normal and they will recover fine. The best thing to do is to pot them up into a DRY potting mix and then let them sit for a week or so without being watered or until new roots have grown.
