Plant Vault Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How are the plants packaged for shipping?
We wrap the leaves with paper and polyfill, tape down the soil, and then securely tape the plant to the box. We fill the box with recyclable packing material to ensure that, even if the package is thrown around, your plant arrives safe and sound!
What does the Plant Vault Happiness Guarantee entail?
Our Happiness Guarantee ensures you receive a healthy plant that looks almost exactly like the plant in the picture (grower's choice). Minor cosmetic issues may occur, but rest assured, these won’t affect the plant’s health.
How do I care for my plant during the first day, week, and month?
First Day: Acclimation
- Unpack Carefully: Gently remove your plant from the packaging and inspect for any minor damage.
- Inspect for Health: Check the leaves, stems, and roots for any signs of pests or stress. Test the soil and water if the plant if it needs it.
- Choose a Temporary Spot: Place the plant in indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight or drafty areas right away and keep humidity high.
- Hold Off on Repotting: Allow the plant at least 1 month to adjust before repotting, unless the plant is rootbound.
First Week: Observation and Adjustment

- No Fertilization Yet: Hold off on fertilizing during this adjustment period.

First Month: Settling In
