  • 2-litre pot, with or without stake, containing ivy that is 3 or 4 years old
  • 4-litre pot with or without stake, containing ivy that is 4 years old or more
  • large pot of 5.5 litres, 7 litres, 9 litres or more, for the oldest ivy.

Shipment of your ivy parcel

Packages are dispatched every week. They are sent on Mondays via Colissimo. So, in the vast majority of cases, the parcel arrives in the middle of the week and doesn't sit in a warehouse all weekend.

Orders are prepared on the Friday before dispatch. This gives the jars time to drain over the weekend if they are damp. This prevents the jars from dampening the shipping carton and making it more fragile.

So in concrete terms, order before Thursday evening if you want your parcel of ivy to arrive during the following week.

Each pot is wrapped in stretch film to keep the substrate in the pot throughout the journey. In most cases, the stakes are removed to optimise space in the parcel.

What should I do when my parcel arrives?

As soon as you receive your parcel, open it so that the plants can breathe and see the light as soon as possible. Unpack carefully, taking care not to damage the plants. Soak the pots in water for around ten minutes to rewet them.
