Factors Affecting Plant Survival:

Plant success depends on several environmental conditions beyond our control, including:

☀️ Light: Proper placement ensures healthy growth. Some plants may suffer if exposed to excessive sun or shade.

💦 Soil Moisture: Plants need the right soil moisture levels, especially during dormancy.

🥵 Temperature: Each plant has an optimal temperature range; extreme fluctuations can affect survival.

🥶 Cold Exposure: Some plants tolerate short periods of cold but may not withstand prolonged freezing.

🤒 Humidity: Low humidity increases cold damage risk, especially for evergreens.

We provide high-quality, healthy plants, but their survival depends on proper care and environmental conditions. By placing an order, you acknowledge these risks and agree to our no refund policy.

For best results, research plant needs and follow proper planting and care guidelines.

More details on this: Wow, a purple snap pea, tender and delicious! 'Sugar Magnolia' with its purple pea pods aren’t just a product of Prince’s song 🎵 “Purple Rain”, it’s also a beautiful, fine-flavored, edible-pod pea with purple flowers. Long hypertendrils (vigorous, multi-branching tendrils) act as extra sturdy supports for 6'-7' vining plants, creating an airy structure that helps prevent mildew. Some of these open-pollinated peas may be speckled with green, or be fully green.
