SHOP FAQ:

 

What’s your return policy?

Return Policy for Plants:

Plants are living entities, and while we provide guidelines for success, we cannot guarantee the health of your plant once it is out of our care. Our team cleans and inspects every plant we sell, but sometimes pests can be hard to catch. If you run into any pre-existing health issues with a plant, contact us for a replacement within 15 days of purchase. For plant care support, email us any time or come by during store hours to chat in person.

 Return Policy for Planters:

Planters, home & gardening accessories can be exchanged or returned for store credit or refund within 15 days of purchase

I saw a cool plant you posted on Instagram! Can I put it on hold?

Unfortunately, we do not put HOLDS without payment. If you’d like to see a plant in person first, we encourage calling to see which location you can see the plant. Otherwise, you can secure the plant by ordering it for pick up at either of our locations.

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 dynastytoronto@gmail.com within 15 days of purchase as we are unable to process exchanges/returns beyond that.  

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

Sansevieria aka Snake Plants are hardy and low-light tolerant plants. They can grow quite tall, but 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. You can check out our grow light bulb options here.

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.

•  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 back your plant should go– send us a picture of your space to dynastytoronto@gmail.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.
