03 — Plants & Greenery
All about
our plants.
🌱 Are the plants guaranteed to be healthy?
Yes. All plants are checked before shipment by our partner greenhouses. Despite all precautions taken during transport, a plant remains a living being.
If your plant arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours with some photos at contact@douceurmaison.fr. We will always find a suitable solution.
📸 Are the plants identical to the photos?
Each plant is unique. The photos presented on our website are representative of the variety offered. The size, number of leaves, shape, or certain nuances may vary slightly depending on the season and the natural development of each plant.
The indicated size corresponds to the approximate height of the plant at the time of shipment.
🌿 Why are some plants temporarily unavailable?
We work with producers and partner greenhouses that respect the natural rhythm of cultivation. Some varieties may therefore be temporarily unavailable depending on the season, growing conditions, or available stock.
We prefer to wait rather than offer plants that would not meet our quality requirements. This approach allows us to guarantee you plants in excellent health, grown under the best conditions.
🪴 How do I care for my plant?
Each product page indicates the essential needs of the plant: light, watering, humidity, and maintenance.
💧 I don't know how to water my plant.
Watering depends on each variety, the season, and your indoor environment. Too much or too little water are the two most common mistakes.
🚛 My plant looks tired after delivery. Is this normal?
Yes, this is completely normal. Travel can be tough on a plant. It may have lost a few leaves or seem a little stressed upon arrival.
Place it in a bright spot, away from drafts, and wait a few days. In the vast majority of cases, it quickly regains its vitality.
🌿 How do I choose a plant suitable for my home?
The choice of a plant primarily depends on the brightness of your room, the available space, and the time you wish to dedicate to its care.
Whether you're looking for an easy-care plant, a large XXL plant, a variety suited for a low-light room, or a non-toxic plant for pets, we have created several collections to help you find the one that's right for you.
🪴 Which plant should I choose when I'm just starting out?
If you're a beginner, we recommend starting with plants known for their hardiness and ease of care, such as Pothos, Zamioculcas, Sansevieria, or Dracaena. They easily forgive small watering oversights and adapt to most indoor environments.
