If you notice an issue with your new plant, we like to recommend waiting a few weeks to let the plants acclimate to their new homes. Plants need time to get used to their new surroundings, especially when they're getting moved from a warm and humid greenhouse to a home or apartment. Sometimes plants will droop, or they'll drop a bloom or a leaf or two. This is nothing to worry about! Depending on the plant, the season, the length of the delivery trip, and their new environments, plants can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to get used to their new homes. 

Of course, if you notice something that you don't think can wait - send us an email at info@dahingplants.com with photos of the full plant as well as the affected areas and we'll find a solution together. 

Of course you can! Our greenhouse is open 9-3pm Monday - Friday and we are located at 707 Sampton Avenue, South Plainfield NJ 07080

If you notice that something is irrevocably wrong with your plant, send us an email at info@dahingplants.com with your order number or the email you used to place the order, photos of the full plant, and the specific areas with which you have an issue. From there, we can provide a couple solutions: 

1. We can swap the plant. Our driver will come out to you with a new plant and you will give him the items that need swapping.
2. We can take the plant back. Sometimes things happen, we get it. If you decide you really cannot even fathom having this plant in your space anymore, we can give you store credit for the price of the item and our delivery team will come out to you to grab the order. 

All swaps and pickups will be scheduled for the upcoming Monday or Saturday, whichever works best for you.

We are lucky enough to see a fast turnaround when it comes to taking inventory photos and fulfilling orders. Due to this, the inventory photos are there so you can see the average plant we have in stock and what you can expect to see in your order - but we promise we're picking the best plants for you! 

We are lucky enough to have busy delivery routes for our drivers. Since we need to stick to a strict timeline as well as various strict city guidelines, our drivers will deliver the plants to your lobby. If you need help bringing your order upstairs, let us know in the delivery notes section of your order.  Orders with 6-9 foot tall plants will be taken upstairs by default. 

We understand that NYC apartments can be funky, so if your building requires that a specific routine be followed for delivery, please email us at info@dahingplants.com and let us know! 

We've found that when describing lighting for plants, the light is best organized into 4 categories: bright & direct, bright & indirect, indirect light, and low light.

Bright & direct light is what comes in directly from the window with nothing blocking it. Cacti and snake plants like this kind of light. 

Bright & indirect light is the light that shines through a translucent curtain, or is bounced off from a nearby wall. It's bright, but not burning bright. Ficus trees and Birds of Paradise like this kind of light.

Indirect light is the light you get from a window on the other side of the room, or from a north-facing window. Monsteras and bamboo palms like this light. 

Low light is like the light that you see in a bright hallway even though there are no windows in the hallway and the light isn't on. Money trees and peace lilies do well in this light.
