If it’s for a plant you’ve seen us carry before: we typically restock and receive new plants on a weekly basis, so we recommend checking the website or Instagram to see if an item has been restocked.

PLANT FAQ:

My plant doesn’t seem to be doing well after I brought it home. What should I do?

It is common for plants to go through an adjustment period as it gets used to its new environment; however, please send photos to info@dynastyplantshop.com within 7 days of purchase as we are unable to process exchanges/returns beyond that. Pre- order plants are final sale, but we can still troubleshoot any plant care questions!

I’m looking for a tall plant to put in a low light. What are my options?

Sansevieria aka Snake Plants, or ZZ Plants are hardy and the most low-light tolerant plants. They are slow growers – so it’s best to ‘start large’ at the size you want. Although they can adapt to ‘low-light’ this doesn't mean ‘no light’ as all plants require light to grow!

How do I know that there’s enough light for the plant I want? Does the direction of my windows really matter?

Lighting is the most important factor in keeping your plant happy and healthy. Some plants require very bright direct light, while others can adapt to lower light. The best place to start when determining which plants are best for your space, is to assess your window direction. Note that obstruction (via buildings blocking the light, etc. will affect the intensity).

  •  South and West facing windows receive the strongest and longest duration of sunlight. Some plants best suited for this window direction are:
    • Cacti and Succulents
    • Ficus
    • Bird of paradise
    • Citrus and other fruit bearing plants
  •  East facing windows receive morning light, that is not particularly strong. Some plants best suited for this window direction are:
    • Philodendron
    • Dracaena
    • Prayer plants
    • Alocasia
  • North facing windows receive indirect light, with zero direct sunlight. Some plants best suited for this window direction are:
    • Peace lilies
    • ZZ plants
    • Sansevieria
    • Pothos

       How far back from the window can I put my plant?

      This depends on your window direction and the plant in question. Each plant on our website has a guide as to where their ideal placement should be. If you’re unsure about how far from a window your plant can go– send us a picture of your space to info@dynastyplantshop.com and we’ll be happy to help you find the right spot!

       Help! There are splits and/or tears in my Bird of Paradise! What’s going on?

      Splits and tears are natural with Bird of Paradise as it allows wind to pass through its leaves to prevent damaging the plant.
