FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

🚚 Shipping

Processing times vary depending on the type of product. When your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking link at the email address provided.
Please note that pre-ordered products have different processing times than regular orders.

As soon as the label is printed, you will receive a tracking link. It may contain little information in the first hour.
Sometimes you can choose an alternative delivery location, send it to a pick-up point, or grant authorization for release without a signature.
Authorization for release without a signature is at the recipient's own risk.

If your package is 3 business days late according to the courier, please first check the tracking link and verify that you have entered the correct information. If there are no updates, please contact us at info@celaorchidee.it.

Thanks to years of experience in shipping orchids and tropical plants, we know how to best protect plants during transit. We assess the most suitable packaging method based on the destination and weather conditions, using increasingly sustainable materials. With weather insurance, plants receive an extra layer of insulating material and are protected from damage caused by cold or bad weather.

In principle, orders cannot be returned, as plants are living organisms and perishable goods. If the package is refused upon delivery or not collected from a pick-up point, any damage will be deducted from the refund.

We ship to all countries in the European Union. We currently do not ship outside the EU. For information on available destinations, please contact us at info@celaorchidee.it.

🌿 Plant Care

Upon delivery, a sheet with basic care instructions for orchids and houseplants is included. It is important not to remove the plant from its pot for the first 6 weeks after receipt, so that it can properly acclimate to its new environment.

We strongly advise against disturbing the roots for the first 6 weeks after arrival. Many of our tropical plants are very sensitive to changes around the root system, and since they already experience a drop in defenses due to shipping, immediate repotting can sometimes be fatal. Good care is essential for the plant's health and longevity.

🛒 Order

It is not possible to choose individual plants. You can consult the product specifications to get an idea of what to expect. Please note: we use example photos that sometimes only show the type of plant. Always read the specifications carefully before purchasing.

We work with living organisms and have a very wide assortment. It can happen that the availability on the website differs from the reality in the greenhouse. In these cases, we always offer equivalent compensation or a full refund.

Plants are sensitive to climate and seasonal conditions. The duration of flowering depends on many factors and cannot always be predicted accurately. If an ordered product unexpectedly blooms during processing time, we will always inform you and find a suitable solution together.

It is not possible to add products to an order that has already been placed. We advise you to carefully check your cart before completing the purchase.
