Guzmania 'Ostara'

On Arrival:

• Remove the plant from its packaging as soon as it arrives and give it a quick check. If the compost feels dry to the touch, give it a light watering.
• Place the plant somewhere bright and warm indoors, out of direct sunlight, and allow it a few days to settle before moving it again.

Positioning:

• Guzmania enjoys bright, indirect light. A well-lit room is ideal, but avoid strong, direct sunshine as this can scorch the leaves and fade the colour.
• It also copes well in kitchens and bathrooms where the air is naturally more humid.

Watering:

• This plant likes gentle, regular moisture rather than soaking. Water little and often, keeping the compost lightly moist but never waterlogged. Always avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

General Care:

• Keep the leaves clean by wiping gently with a damp cloth to maintain the glossy finish. Normal room temperatures suit it well, and it should be kept away from cold draughts.
• Feeding is minimal, as this plant is naturally low maintenance.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
