Packaging

Our e-commerce and its shipping service remain active all year round and every week we prepare our plants for numerous shipments in Italy, including the islands, and Europe.

For our shipments we use packaging of the type and size appropriate for the weight, shape and nature of the content. These must in fact guarantee against deterioration and / or tampering.

The packaging process is carried out with the utmost care and precision, respecting the treated material.

Remember that the size of the plant may undergo cuts or slight pruning, in order to adapt it to the container in which it will be placed for shipping.

Box

The outer packaging consists of resistant cardboard boxes. We try to make a single package for shipping, but in the event that your order of plants needs additional space, we will prepare multiple packages with a possible support (e.g. wooden pallets).

The content

Inside the box we will prepare all your plants accompanied by a label with the specified common name and botanical name of the species.

To begin with, the vase is placed in compostable bags.

Subsequently, the bag is perforated for the insertion of a bamboo cane support.

The plant, protected by the coating of the pot and supported by the brace, is then placed inside the box.

The bag, fixed around the pot and the neck of the plant, prevents the soil from leaking out. The brace, whose length is adapted according to the direction of positioning of the plants, also allows to stabilize their position, avoiding movements that could be caused by shocks and / or vibrations during transport.

Filling materials

In addition to the external container, we also use internal packaging and / or filling materials (bubble wrap sheets, paper, expanded polystyrene, shaped packaging). These are inserted between the plants and in the stratification of the package to avoid possible damage to the foliage and cushion any impacts, as well as acting as a valid aid for filling sensitive areas, such as the corners of the box.

Tips

Being shipments containing perishable goods, we recommend opening the package upon receipt as soon as possible and extracting the plants contained therein. It is also advisable to provide adequate irrigation in case of need.
