Deliveries
When can I expect my delivery?
Wir versenden grundsätzlich alle Artikel von Montag bis Freitag.
Ausnahme sind Pflanzen: Lebende Pflanzen (beinhaltet auch Stecklinge) versenden wir nur Montag bis Donnerstag um eine Lagerung übers Wochenende beim Versandunternehmen zu vermeiden.
Sie können uns kurz informieren, wenn Sie auch einen Versand am Freitag für Ihre Bestellung wünschen.
With our service provider DHL, the parcels usually reach the recipient within 2 working days.
Exception: public holidays, festivals (Christmas, Easter). Here there may be 3 - 5 days, depending on the workload of the service provider.
Here is a small example of how the ordering process can work.
How can I complain about my delivery?
As a rule, you should check that your parcel is not damaged when it is handed over to you by the shipping service provider. If you find any damage, open the package in front of the shipping service provider. If the contents of the package are visibly damaged, immediately file a claim with the shipping agent.
If your package is not obviously damaged but the contents are still broken or damaged, please take a photo of the condition of the package and the goods and send it to us by e-mail. We will then contact you immediately and find a solution.
ATTENTION: Yellow leaves, limp leaves or soil that has fallen out of the pot are no reason for a complaint. The yellow leaves will fall off (transport stress) and the limp leaves will recover after the first watering. You can simply put the soil back into the pot.
Do you also deliver to other European countries?
Bisher liefern wir nur nach Deutschland oder Österreich.
Bitte melden Sie sich einfach bei unseren Newsletter an. Dort werden wir unsere Kunden informieren, wenn neue Länder zur Liste hinzu genommen werden. Sie können uns aber auch direkt kontaktieren. Dazu haben wir unsere Infoseite „Internationaler Versand“ für Sie erstellt.
Can I track my delivery?
Ja!
Wir informieren Sie per E-Mail sobald Ihre Lieferung bereit zur Abholung durch unseren Versanddienstleister DHL ist. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt hat Ihr Paket eine Trackingnummer mit der Sie auf der DHL Seite dann jederzeit schauen können wo sich Ihr Paket befindet und wann es ca. bei Ihnen ankommen wird.
I just want a voucher. Can I also download it?
Ja. In dem Fall kontaktieren Sie uns bitte per E-Mail. Teilen Sie uns bitte mit welchen Wert Ihr Gutschein haben soll und wenn Sie noch kein Kunde sind, teilen Sie uns bitte Ihren Namen und Ihre E-Mail Adresse mit.
Wir generieren Ihnen dann einen Gutschein, schicken Ihnen die Rechnung und nach dem Zahlungseingang senden wir Ihnen den Gutschein als PDF Datei zum selber drucken zu.
Can I return a delivery?
Yes, you can make use of your right of withdrawal and return the delivery in full within 14 days.
I would like to give a gift to someone. Can I enter a different delivery address?
Ja, absolut kein Problem!
Wenn Sie zur Kasse gehen, können Sie Rechnungs- bzw. Lieferadresse getrennt voneinander angeben. Sie können also jemanden glücklich machen indem Sie ihm die Pflanze schicken. Die Rechnung für den Kauf senden wir Ihnen dann per E-Mail.
Is there cheap shipping to Austria?
Yes, from 3kg we send the parcels to Austria with our partner UPS.
Resend delivery
If we get a shipped parcel back because the recipient could not be reached or the address is wrong, the recipient must pay the shipping costs for a reshipment before we send the parcel again.
If the package was returned due to an error on our part, we will bear the shipping costs!
Payments
How can I pay for my order?
Wir bieten einige Zahlungsmöglichkeiten an und eine davon wird sicher Ihren Ansprüchen entsprechen.
PayPal: Sie zahlen bequem und sicher mit Ihrem PayPal Konto oder einer gängigen Kreditkarte.
SOFORT: Sie überweisen den Rechnungsbetrag sofort direkt auf unser Konto mit der Zahlungslösung von SOFORT / Klarna.

Kauf auf Rechnung: Kaufen Sie ein und bezahlen Sie den Rechnungsbetrag innerhalb 14 Tagen. Weitere Infos finden Sie direkt bei unserem Partner Klarna. Was ist Kauf auf Rechnung?
Can I also pay cash on delivery?
No!
We do not offer this method of payment. Years of experience have shown us that 30% of all C.O.D. orders are not accepted by the customer and we then have to pay the fees of currently 5.90€ ourselves and in the case of live plants there is also the risk that they are returned to us broken.
We therefore ask for your understanding that we do not offer the payment method cash on delivery.
Can I pay by credit card?
Currently only if you buy directly from our warehouse in 84381 Johanniskirchen, Bavaria. Please visit our warehouse only by prior arrangement! Thank you for your understanding!
Can I also buy on account?
Yes, you can also conveniently pay for your order within 14 days of receiving the delivery. Our partner Klarna will take care of the billing.
Plants / Cuttings / Seeds
How do I treat freshly delivered plants?
Packen Sie Ihr Paket vorsichtig aus. Entfernen Sie die Schutzfolie und alle nicht zur Pflanze bzw. deren Stabilisierung gehörenden Sachen (Buffermaterial etc.)
Stellen Sie die frische Pflanze erst eine Woche halbschattig und gießen Sie sie direkt nachdem Sie sie ausgepackt haben. Nach ca. 1 Woche kann die Pflanze dann in die volle Sonne gestellt werden.
Do I need to pre-germinate frangipani seeds?
No, you don't have to!
Frangipani seeds are not considered "hard" seeds. You can germinate the freshly delivered seeds directly using your favourite method.
Not all seeds germinated. Is this a reason for complaint?
No!
This is a natural product and even if we check that each seed contains a tangible germ, it is still possible that one or the other seed will not germinate.
It can also happen that seeds rot due to too much moisture.
My plant has died. Can I make a complaint?
No - if you have had the plant for longer than 14 days!
A plant is a living product. If this is received within 2 weeks of delivery, contact us. We will then deliver a replacement plant (if the same variety is no longer available, then another variety). If the plant dies after the first 2 weeks, unfortunately you cannot make a complaint. The reason may be incorrect treatment, too much watering, pressure injuries, etc.
My plant is not flowering. Can I make a complaint?
No
All plants in our range are capable of flowering. Nevertheless, it can happen that a plant does not flower. This may be due to incorrect treatment or (depending on when you received the plant) the plant has already flowered in the current year.
There is no reason for complaint in any case.
How is the height of the plant measured?
The height of the plant is often stated in the shop. We always measure from the top of the pot (i.e. the height does NOT include the pot the plant is in).
ATTENTION: Figures are always rounded up or down to the nearest 5cm!
My cutting is not taking root. Can I make a complaint?
No.
We are dealing with "living" goods. No one can guarantee whether a cutting will develop roots and how long this will take. We deliver the cuttings after we have visually inspected them. The cuttings themselves will decide whether they will take root or rot under the given conditions.
My plumeria is not flowering in the colour I ordered. Why?
It is very important to know that the colour of the flower is strongly dependent on the hours of sunshine. For example, a pink flowering Plumeria can suddenly flower white in the months with little sun.
So no "wrong" variety has been sent to you. It's just that the UV light is missing.
For example, in Europe the "Black Tiger" becomes a maximum of dark red but only very rarely shows the typical black stripes.
How many years can I store seeds?
Seeds can, if stored dry and warm, still remain germinable for up to 3 years. Of course, the germination rate will decrease from year to year but basically 3 years is possible!
Our seeds always come from the current "harvest".
Can my plant tolerate frost?
NO!
The Plumeria is a tropical plant and does not tolerate frost. Please always make sure that your plumeria is not exposed to temperatures below 5°C. Anything below 5°C is dangerous and can cause damage or death to the plant.
Can I overwinter my plumi with cones? What happens to the cones then?
You can also overwinter the plant with flower umbels. In this case, please make sure that the plant is not exposed to temperatures below 15°C. If the plant is permanently above 15°C, the umbel will then continue to sprout 75% the following year and your plant will flower.
If the temperature often goes below 15°C, the chance of flowering the following year is extremely reduced!
General
Is there a catalogue of the different frangipani varieties?
Unfortunately, there is no complete catalogue, as up to 30 new varieties are named and registered every year. Therefore, one can often only orientate oneself by colour preferences or flower shapes.
We have taken the trouble to compile a catalogue of frangipani varieties. It is by no means complete and is constantly being expanded. It should help you to find your desired variety quickly and easily.
You can also view the list of registered frangipani names and search them conveniently.
How long can I leave my products in the shopping cart?
Wenn Sie Produkte in den Warenkorb legen, bleiben diese bis zu 3 Tage für Sie dort verfügbar.
Bitte beachten Sie aber, dass dies keine Garantie ist ein Produkt zu reservieren. Erst beim bezahlen wird ein Produkt aus dem Lager genommen. Es kann also vorkommen, dass ein Produkt nach 2 Tagen noch im Warenkorb ist, aber nicht mehr lieferbar. Das wird dann bei der Ansicht des Warenkorbs entsprechend vermerkt.
Heat mats and plant lamps
We will not include heat mats and plant lamps in our product portfolio because it is
a.) genug günstige Anbieter in Amazon oder ebay für diese Produkte gibt
b.) wir dazu dann noch Verträge über Altgeräteentsorgung und Geräterücknahmen abschließen müssten
You will find everything in our Plumeria Shop that does not require a battery or power connection!
How much soil do I need to repot my Plumeria?
You want to repot your frangipani and have already bought new pots, but you don't know how much soil you need to buy.
But we have built a solution for this. Simply calculate how much soil fits into your flower pot
How much fertiliser do I need for my Plumeria per season?
Diese Frage wird oft gestellt und die Antwort ist nicht so einfach. Erstens muss man wissen um wieviel Pflanzen es sich handelt und wie groß die Töpfe sind.
Daher haben wir eine Seite erstellt, wo unsere Besucher ganz einfach den Düngerbedarf der Frangipani pro Jahr ausrechnen können.
