Before I Buy - Choosing Plants & Products

Below are some common questions about plants and products.

I'm new to plants. How do I choose the right plant for my space?

Start with where the plant will live. Consider the amount of natural light the space receives, whether it is indoors or outdoors, the available space, and how much plant care you are comfortable with. Use our Easy Plants, and Shop by Space collections to narrow your choices. If you are still unsure, speak with our team in-store or via online chat and we can help recommend suitable options.

Which plants are beginner-friendly or low maintenance?

Look for plants labelled Beginner Friendly or Low Maintenance on our webstore. These selections are generally more forgiving and suitable for customers who are new to plant care or prefer plants that need less frequent attention. Care requirements still vary by plant, so always check the care information on the individual product page.

Which plants are suitable for low-light or full-sun areas?

Use our Indoor Plants and Outdoor Plants collections as a starting point. Low light does not mean no light: most plants still need some natural or suitable artificial light. For balconies and outdoor areas, check how many hours of direct sun the space receives and whether it gets strong afternoon sun before selecting a plant.

Which plants are safe for homes with pets?

Browse our Pet Friendly collection for plants commonly considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. As pets may react differently and may chew or ingest plants, we recommend keeping plants out of reach where possible and checking with your veterinarian if you have concerns about a specific plant.

How do I choose the right pot size and potting mix for my plant?

Choose a pot that suits the plant's root size and provides enough room for healthy growth without being excessively large. Drainage requirements also matter. Different plants may require different potting media, so refer to the product care information or ask our team for a suitable pot and potting mix recommendation. Repotting assistance is also available at all Far East Flora Garden Centres.

Buying Plants Online - What Will I Receive?

Below are some of the common questions about shopping online for plants.

Will the plant I receive look exactly like the photo online?

Not exactly. Plants are living products and each plant is naturally unique. Variations in height, shape, foliage, colour, fullness and growth habit are normal. Product images are representative of the variety and general presentation, but the plant you receive may differ slightly from the photograph.

What does the plant size shown on the product page refer to?

Please refer to the sizing information stated on the individual product page. Depending on the product, measurements may refer to pot diameter, plant height or approximate overall height. As plants continue to grow and are naturally variable, measurements should be treated as a guide rather than an exact specification.

Does the plant come with the pot shown in the photo?

Only where the product description states that a decorative pot or planter is included. Some plants are sold in their standard nursery/grower pot, while styled photographs may show decorative pots for presentation. Always check the product details before ordering.

Can I choose the exact plant that I will receive?

For standard online orders, individual plants are generally selected by our team based on quality and availability and exact plant selection is not guaranteed. If a product offers a choice of colour, size or other variation, the available options will be shown on the product page.

How are plants prepared and packed for delivery?

Our team checks and prepares plants before dispatch and packs them to help protect the foliage, pot and potting medium during transport. As plants are living products, minor movement of leaves or potting medium can occur during delivery. Once received, unpack your plant promptly and place it in a suitable environment according to its care requirements.
