Care basics
Mini plants in 6cm pots are easy to care for but need attention to:
-
Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun (mini plants overheat quickly).
-
Water: Less is more for small pots — they dry out fast but also overwater easily. Check soil weekly; water when top 1cm is dry.
-
Repotting: Some plants in this size will outgrow the pot within 6-12 months — repotting into a slightly larger pot extends life dramatically.
-
Care card with each box covers the specific species included

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Surprise Plant Gift Box (10 plants)?
The Mini Baby Plants box has 6 smaller plants in 6cm pots (~10cm tall). The Surprise Plant Gift Box has 10 plants in larger 12cm pots (~25cm tall). Mini is the budget-friendly desk-scale option; the larger Surprise Box is the more substantial housewarming-grade gift.
Can I choose specific plants?
The Mini Baby Plants box is curated by our growers — surprise variety is part of the gift. For specific picks, our Mix & Match collections let you build your own combinations.
Are mini plants harder to care for than larger plants?
Slightly — small pots dry out faster and have less soil buffer for over-watering mistakes. The included care card has watering tips. Most plants in this size are forgiving species chosen specifically for beginners.
How long do mini plants live?
With basic care, several years. Most species in this size will benefit from repotting into a slightly larger pot within 6-12 months as they grow. They're not "disposable" — they're starter plants.
How long does delivery take?
Ireland: 2-4 business days. EU: 3-7 business days depending on country.
What countries do you deliver to?
Ireland plus 24 EU countries: Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Poland, Austria, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg.
Is there a gift message option at checkout?
Yes — free, no character limit, printed on a card placed on top of the box.
