Frequently Asked Questions

How do you protect plants during transit?

Our horticulture team has developed specialized packaging that cushions plants while allowing them to breathe. Perennials and shrubs are shipped in sturdy containers with their root balls protected, while trees have their delicate branches carefully secured.

What if my plants arrive stressed?

It’s normal for plants to experience some travel stress. Follow our included acclimation guide, and within 7-10 days you should see signs of recovery. If concerns persist after this period, contact our plant care team.

Can I specify delivery dates?

While we can’t guarantee specific delivery dates, you may include preferred delivery windows in your order notes. We’ll do our best to accommodate, especially for weather-sensitive shipments.

Remember: Our 15-day return policy gives you time to assess your plants’ health after their journey. If any item arrives damaged or fails to thrive, we’ll make it right.

At Sapling Pulse, we view delivery as the first chapter in your plant’s new life. From our nursery to your garden, we’re committed to making this transition as seamless as nature intended. Happy planting!
