Club Members will usually receive their Early Access Password one day prior to the launch of the restock. Early Access allows you to enter the webshop 1 hour before the general launch. As the monthly Restock typically launches at 8PM (CET/CEST), your Early Access password will be active at 7PM (CET/CEST)

If you have not received the early access password an hour before the early access restocks, please send an email to club@downtownplantclub.com with β€œearly access” in the subject title, and mention your contact information.

No! The Club Member password is exclusive to Club Members.

PLANTS

This is always communicated well in advance of a restock through our socials, Instagram and Facebook, or our newsletter.

This differs per plant as some plants are harder to get a hold of than others and some take longer to acclimate than others. We do our very best to restock your wishlist plants as soon as possible.

Due to the high demand during restocks and the limited availability of most varieties, your plants are not reserved when placed in your basket. It might be possible that your plants are unavailable during checking out, as another Plantclubber has finished their order first. The plants placed in your basket are secured once you have completed the check-out process.

All plants are unique! However, we do our very best to ensure that your purchase meets the same quality demands.

We are not a big fan of chemicals, which is why we periodically apply biological pest control as a preventive measure. This way, our plants stay strong and healthy in a natural way! You may come across good bugs.

SEEDS

Turning your seeds into plants is easy! Here's our recommended four-step guide:

1. Place your seeds in a plastic container or pot filled with spaghnum moss (you can use our packing container). The moss should be slightly moist.

2. Open the lid every 1-3 days to allow for fresh air.

3. Be patient! Roots and leaves will often appear within weeks.

4. Once the seedlings have developed multiple roots and leaves you can pot them in a seedling pot. For the substrate we suggest a mixture of New Zealand spaghnum, perlite and coco husk.

For most varieties, we offer germinated seeds to make sure the seeds are not sterile. In some cases, we will ship seeds that still need to germinate. In this case, the seeds usually germinate within 14 days after arrival.

If your seeds did not germinate, you will be eligble for compensation in line with our 100% grow guarantee policy.

For all Anthurium Seeds we offer a 100% grow guarantee. This means, that if your seeds turned out to be sterile and did not germinate, you are eligble for compensation. Please send us an email at club@downtownplantclub.com and include clear pictures of the seeds that failed to grow.

In case your seeds are already germinated upon arrival, but got damaged during the shipping process, please inform us immediately upon arrival.

For all Anthurium Seeds we offer a 100% grow guarantee. This means, that if your seeds got damaged during the shipping process, you are eligble for compensation. Please send us an email at club@downtownplantclub.com and include clear pictures of the seeds that failed to grow.

We guarantee that the Anthurium seeds you have ordered with us, are strong and healthy! If your seeds did not germinate or if your seeds have damaged during the shipping process, you are eligble for comensation. Please make sure to document the issue and share photos or videos with us when contacting us as soon as possible at club@downtownplantclub.com.

If stock allows, your seeds will be replaced during your next order with us. If your seed variety has been sold out, you will receive a shopping credit that can be used for your next order.

We aim to provide healthy and strong Anthurium seeds that will grow into beautiful seedlings and eventually plants! It is possible that the seed you have received may not germinate. We therefore ask you to give the seed some time to initiate its growth! Usually seeds will germinate within 14-21 days.

If your seed doesn't show any sign of life in the first two / three weeks, please inform us at club@downtownplantclub.com and provide photos or videos to be eligble for compensation.

In case your seeds are already germinated once they arrive, please check their health upon arrival and inform us about any damages immediately.

The motherplant(s) give(s) an indication of what the hybrid seeds will look like once fully grown, in terms of characteristical traits.

However, since some varieties are newly bred hybrids, it is still uncertain which traits from the parents are transfered to the new generation. It is therefore no guarantee that the plant grown from your seed will be the same to the motherplant(s) shown.

In rare cases, flowers might unintentionally cross-pollinate (or self-pollinate) causing seeds to turn out incorrectly. In such cases, reach out to us and our team will get it sorted!
