If Purchased Online

We can only guarantee that they arrived in good condition.
If your plant arrives in poor transit condition, please follow our Plant Shipping instructions.

What To Do If Your Plant Is Not Acting As It Should

We Want Your New Plant to Thrive!

Do not immediately dig the plant up. We want your plant to not just survive, but thrive in its new home. Contact the Alsip location at which the plant(s) were purchased and speak to a nursery associate or manager about possible solutions. In some cases, certain plants can go through of period of transplant shock when going into their new soil and most likely will recover if the proper steps are taken in order to remedy the problem.
