Common questions

Useful details for your office team

What is the minimum quantity, and how are small orders charged?

The calculator can estimate from one plant, using the selected size, quantity and care frequency. A small-order fee is added when plant rent falls below the threshold shown in the pricing summary and calculation. Availability and service arrangements are subject to the confirmed quote.

Should we rent plants or buy them?

Rental combines plants and scheduled care in a monthly budget. Buying is another option if your team has the time and skills to look after them. Compare the contract length, maintenance work and replacement arrangements as well as the price of each plant.

Can we rent real plants for a dim office?

Send daytime photos, window positions and lighting hours so we can assess the space. Shade tolerance does not mean a plant can live without light. An unsuitable position may need a different layout or a separately agreed lighting solution.

When can we use rent credit, and do we need a new contract?

Eligible rent credit can be used towards continued rental from month 13 without signing a new contract. It is rent credit, not a cash payment. The amount depends on the selected contract and plant quantity and is shown in the calculator.

What should we prepare for a quote?

Send photos, the district, an estimated plant quantity or dimensions, daytime light conditions, floor and lift access, a budget and a preferred start date. If quantities are undecided, identify the reception areas, workspaces or meeting rooms you want to improve.

How is the monthly rent for office plants calculated?

Rent is the per-plant rate for each size and care plan multiplied by the quantity. A small-order fee applies when plant rent is below the monthly threshold. The deposit is one month of the total monthly charge, paid separately. Current per-plant rates are shown at the top of this page and the calculator adds them up for you.

What is the shortest contract?

Contracts are available for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. The monthly rent is fixed once confirmed, and contracts of 12 months or longer earn eligible rent credit.

What happens if a plant wilts or declines?

On the weekly plan, wilted plants are replaced like for like free of charge (excluding customer-caused damage). The fortnightly plan has a replacement fee set out in the terms, and requests to change plant styles are charged separately.

Which areas of Hong Kong do you serve?

Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, including business districts such as Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Quarry Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Sha Tin and Tseung Kwan O. Outlying islands are arranged case by case.

Can we pay by monthly invoice?

Monthly invoicing is available subject to approval: the deposit is paid before delivery, then each monthly invoice is due within 30 days. We accept FPS, bank transfer or company cheque.
