Why buy delivered plants?

We take care in growing and packaging our plants so they will arrive in amazing condition (we've sent plants to over 20,000 happy customers!).
If by random chance your plants don't arrive in great shape, never fear. Email our customer service team and we will either replace the plants pronto or refund the purchase price back to you. All you need to do is notify us within 24hrs of your order arriving.
Continue ShoppingChlorine levels of about 2ppm necessary to eliminate bacteria in the average pool are way below the 20,000ppm found in the ocean. The splashing of chlorinated water may damage plants with thin leaves.
Salt may become a problem for plants that are sensitive to high levels. General pool salt levels should be about 3000ppm whereas salt intolerance may start to be a problem at 2000ppm. You can use plants that thrive in coastal locations, ones that have grey foliage, furry or leathery leaves resistant to salt spray. Included plants are Coastal Banksia, Westringia, Agave, Coprosma, Metrosideros, Myoporium, Scaveolea, Strelitzia, Bougainvillea and Frangipani.
If you think your plants are being slowly killed by pool water, install a strip drain around the perimeter and run this to an approved waste.
Check the soil moisture level to see how wet it is throughout the daily and monthly cycles before and after strip drain installation. When it comes to planting requirements, just moist is just right ( the exception being succulents)!
In considerations about poolside plantings, think about the maintenance issues- do the plants have small leaves which continually drop and clog the filter? Are the plants deciduous, losing all leaves in Autumn? Will the larger plants have destructive roots? Melaleucas, Ficus and bamboos should not be planted near pools. Palms may damage piping, pool coping and even the shell if insufficient room is provided for trunk and root expansion.
