FAQ

ORDERS

I just placed an order, when can I expect my plant to arrive?

If you placed an order for local delivery, your plant will arrive on the date and during the time frame you selected. You can refer to your confirmation email to double check the date and time you selected.

Can I change my delivery date?

Our deliveries  have a quick turnaround, however we will do our best to make adjustments to your scheduled delivery date. Please call us at (646) 543-3797 Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm, or send an email to info@greeneryunlimited.co.

What are my shipping/delivery options?

We offer local delivery for all of our desktop and floor plants to the NYC area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island City. The delivery rate ranges from $25-$35 depending on the size and quantity of plants. For outer boroughs, the rate is higher due to the additional transportation costs. If you are in the NYC area, but outside of our delivery zone, feel free to reach out to info@greeneryunlimited.co and we can give you a custom quote.

Will my plant look exactly like the one on the site?

We select plants that are similar in size and shape to the plants pictured on our website. However keep in mind that plants are individual and unique living things, so there will be some variation in shape, size, and color.

The item I would like to purchase is out of stock. How can I be notified when it is back in stock?

Simply sign up to our waitlist on each product page, and we’ll send you an email as soon as the item is back in stock.

Why are the limited edition plants only offered in the nursery pot?

Our limited edition plants are specialty items and come in limited supply. As they are final sale only and we move through them quickly, we do not offer them paired with planters. The sizes vary in each batch we receive, so we find it’s best for our customers to select an appropriate pot once they receive the plant.

Why is the Natal Mahogany only offered in the nursery pot, or the self watering containers?

This plant requires a high quantity of water and so we have found that it thrives in the self watering containers, where it has a continuous supply of water and can drink at its own pace. We highly recommend this planter and plant combination. Since the Natal Mahogany uses a lot of water, a pot with drainage is highly recommended to prevent water build up in the bottom of the pot.

LOCAL DELIVERY, SHIPPING, & RETURNS

What is the difference between delivery and shipment?

Plants delivered via local delivery are brought from our Greenpoint studio in a truck, and hand delivered to your door. 

Does Greenery Unlimited ship all plants nationwide?

At this time we have paused nationwide shipping for our small plants. You can read more about our decision to pause nationwide plant delivery here. Our larger floor plants are available for local delivery and pick-up only. We deliver to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.

Do I need to be present for my plant delivery?

Someone must be available to receive the delivery. (This can be via a shipping room in a large office building or with a doorman.) If no will be there, you may give us permission to leave the delivery in a specified, safe, and accessible area in the checkout notes. However, we cannot guarantee this request during the winter or in severe weather. If no one is there to receive the delivery and we are unable to leave it behind, a re-delivery fee will be incurred. More information about our local deliveries here.

I just received my plant, when should I water it?

It’s best to check the moisture level in the soil upon arrival and refer to the care guide for soil moisture requirements. Plants delivered locally have not been watered after transplant because of the added weight. Please water your plants upon receipt and refer to the care guide for soil moisture requirements. If you purchased a plant in the nursery/growers pot, the soil will need to be assessed upon arrival to determine when it is ready for more water.

Why does my plant look different than the one pictured on the site?

We select plants that are similar in size and shape to the the plants pictured on our website. However keep in mind that plants are individual and unique living things, so there will be some variation in shape, size, and color.

How do I use the Self Watering Container?

You can find the instructions for the self watering container on the plant specific care guides here.

My plant has been thriving in the self watering planter for years. Suddenly the plant is showing signs of distress. What can I do?

This can occur after a long period of growth, as your plant will eventually use up all of the nutrients in its soil and become anemic. Consider adding liquid fertilizer to the reservoir system. If you have been fertilizing regularly, sometimes salts can build up in the soil. In this circumstance you should remove the plug from the base of the planter and flush the root system by placing the plant in the shower and thoroughly rinsing the soil. Replace the plug once all of the liquid has drained out of the bottom.
