Everfresh Tree
Finger Lime Tree
Finger Lime Tree has a fine evergreen canopy and can produce slender fruit filled with glistening, pearl-like vesicles that burst gently on the palate — the origin of its 'citrus caviar' nickname. Its light, upright silhouette suits a sunny balcony or bright garden perfectly.
It thrives in full sun with shelter from wind and sharp drainage, plus steady moisture while actively growing. The branches are thorny, so wear gloves when moving or pruning it. For flowering and fruiting details, see the FAQs below; ask us about the current batch before ordering if this matters to you.
Giant Bird of Paradise
Giant Bird of Paradise — A large Strelitzia nicolai, approx. 170cm tall, with upright stems and broad tropical leaves for bright living rooms, offices and entrances.
- Strong vertical form for larger indoor spaces
- Best in bright light; acclimatise gradually before stronger direct sun
- Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry, then drain thoroughly

Golden Snake Plant
Golden Snake Plant brings a crisp vertical line to the room, with upright leaves edged in gold. Place it beside a console in bright, indirect light for a simple, architectural accent.
Choose approximately 70–80 cm or 85–95 cm. Each base option includes one plant.

Money Tree

Olive Tree
Olive Tree brings Mediterranean character to a sunny balcony or rooftop, with grey-green leaves, silvery undersides and a sculptural trunk. Give it around 6 hours or more of direct sun daily. Pale walls and warm wood make a quiet backdrop for its natural form.
Approx. 1.7–1.8 m overall, including the nursery pot.
Ruffled Fan Palm
Styled Dragon Tree
Umbrella Fig
Umbrella Fig lifts broad, heart-shaped leaves into an airy, sculptural canopy for a lounge, entrance or reception. Its soft outline reads beautifully against warm white walls, timber and pale stone. Choose approx. 160 cm or 240 cm to suit your space.
Keep it warm in bright, indirect light, clear of harsh sun and air-conditioning draughts. Water thoroughly once the compost surface begins to dry, then let it drain fully. Wear gloves when pruning — the milky sap can irritate skin.

Start with where it will live
What plant makes a good gift in Hong Kong?
Choose for the recipient’s space and routine. Money Tree and Corn Plant have sturdy, upright forms and are common choices for openings. Giant Bird of Paradise brings dramatic leaves to a roomy living area or reception. Dwarf Umbrella Tree suits a bright window. Bougainvillea has bold flowers but needs plenty of sun, so check that the recipient’s space receives enough.
Meaningful, with the room in mind
Money Tree is a familiar opening gift; Happy Tree carries an association with harmony; Bird of Paradise suits a room where its leaf shape can take the lead. These are cultural associations, so choose first for the recipient’s taste and the available space.

Before you order
Can I request a delivery date?
Yes. Share your preferred date and we will confirm the route and schedule. Please allow extra time around openings and public holidays.
Can I include a gift message?
Yes. Send the message and sender’s name before ordering so that we can confirm the gift-card arrangements.
Can it be exchanged if the recipient changes their mind?
The seven-day health promise concerns eligible plant-health issues. It is not an unconditional change-of-mind policy. Please read the returns terms.
What should I give someone who has never looked after a plant?
A Corn Plant or Money Tree has a sturdy form and is forgiving. Include a simple note to check the compost before watering, and avoid sun-hungry or humidity-loving plants that may disappoint.
Should a housewarming plant be large or small?
It depends on the usable space. A large plant makes a focal point but needs floor room; a smaller one is easier to place. If unsure, ask about the space and window light first.
How long does delivery take in Hong Kong?
Delivery normally takes 3–7 business days after ordering to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, excluding outlying islands. The date still needs confirmation; public holidays and severe weather can cause delays.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is free on orders of HK$1,500 or more; otherwise, it costs HK$200. Direct lift access carries no stair charge; carrying upstairs costs HK$50 per floor. Please ask us about unusual access.
What if my plant arrives with a health issue?
Contact us within seven days with your order number and photographs of the plant. Claims are handled under the returns policy; the health promise does not cover every reason for an exchange.
