Return Policy

Plants guarantee


We guarantee our plants for a period of 7 days after receipt, providing they have not been removed from their original plant pot and original substrate.
We will not be compensating for damage that is related to reasonable plant stress, a non-limitative list of examples of reasonable plant stress are:

  • Small folds in leaves
  • A small loss in foliage (always to be seen in relation to the whole plant)

There should be no root disturbance or any cutting of the plant for a minimum of 7 days after receipt. Failure to adhere to this process will render our guarantee null and ​ ​void.

In case you are not happy with your order we kindly ask that you contact us at info@specialhouseplants.be and provide images of the plant within 7 days of delivery. Not ​ ​providing these details timely will always result it to be declared null and void. You will be required to ship the plant in the original substrate pot (if applicable) and packaging ​back to us for a full refund including return shipping.

We do not accept plant returns:

  • Without prior explicit confirmation from us on your received complaint.
  • In inadequate packaging such as but not limited to envelopes or boxes that are too small for the plant. We kindly ask that you do not ship plants to us in a manner that ​ ​you would not like us to ship them to you.

We reserve the right to determine the appropriateness of care before authorizing a return and/or refund.

Refunds and/or replacements will always be given at the discretion of the management of ‘Special Houseplants’
