    Can I amend my order?

    Once you have placed your order, you can contact our Customer Service team to change the message, date and address no later than 24 hours before your chosen delivery date.

We cannot accept cancellations for Next Day or Same Day orders.


    Substitute flowers

    Due to the nature of our fresh flowers, there may be occasions where we have to substitute them. If this happens, we will always endeavour to choose the next closest colour or variety. If we feel that the colour is very different or we need to choose a different product entirely, we will always alert you in advance of your delivery. Please also note that appropriate substitutions may be made when flowers are reaching the end of their season.

    What if I don’t receive my order confirmation email?

  • PLANT INFORMATION

    Are your plants real or artificial?

    All of our plants are real, indoor plants and are ideal for both the home and office.


    Where do you deliver your plants to?

    Some of our plants can only be delivered within London due to the nature and size of the plant. To view the list of postcodes we deliver to in London, please click here (insert link to London postcodes). For plants outside of London, you will be able to see which varieties are eligible for delivery nationwide, as they will not include a ‘London Only’ tag.


    How are your plants packaged?

    FLOWERBX plants are delivered in a simple, purposeful white or chocolate plastic pot and can be re-potted if desired.

    FOR LONDON DELIVERY: Your plant will be hand-delivered directly to your chosen address.

    FOR NATIONAL DELIVERY: Your plant will be potted and packaged inside a box directly to your chosen address.


    How do I care for my plant?

    The plants we source are relatively low-maintenance but it’s very important that you do care for your plant in the right way. You can view general ‘care’ instructions in the description of the product page of each plant. As a general tip, it is important not to over-water your plant. The plants also do not favour too much direct sunlight so although they will thrive in a well-lit spot, consider where you will be placing your plant.


    My plant doesn’t look like the image online, what can I do?

    We have made every effort to deliver to you a plant that as closely as possible resembles the plant which we display online on our website. As with all living things, naturally there will be some variation. If in the occasion you have received your plant and it is not quite as you expected, whether that be general appearance of size, please contact our Customer Service team within 48 hours of receiving your order. We will always accommodate exchanges and returns of plants where possible provided you have contacted us within the given timeframe.


    My plant is in poor condition, can I return it?

    If you receive a plant that you feel is in poor condition, please contact us within 30 days of receiving the item. We also request that you email us a photograph of the damaged or faulty plant so that we can send it to our Product Team to be reviewed. For issues beyond our control such as: airborne pests and diseases such as fungal leaf spot, we cannot accept any responsibility beyond 30 days.

  • FLOWER INFORMATION

    Where do your flowers come from?

    For the most part, our flowers are sourced directly from Holland’s unique flower auctions. Specific varieties are procured from the source in further-afield locations such as Costa Rica, Israel, Thailand, Italy and Ecuador.


    I have some feedback on my flowers

    We really value customer feedback be that the "good" or the "not so good." If you do need to get in touch with our Customer Service team, we will be on hand to help answer your query.


    How can I make the most out of my flowers?

    To keep your flowers as fresh as possible, we recommend trimming the stems at a 45° angle on receiving them and changing the water every few days. Your flowers will also benefit from the use of flower food. It’s important to keep them away from direct sunlight and heat and instead place them in a cool environment. Most flowers will perform best if kept in temperatures between 10 and 15°c.

    The following flowers are highly toxic to cats, so we highly discourage you from keeping them near your pet:

    Asparagus Fern
