The plants are carefully packaged and arrive in great conditions (I’m based in Spain) and they’re always there to help in any way they can with your purchase.I have and will always recommend Foliage Factory to every friend I can. I’m not only satisfied with their plants and prices, but their customer service is exceptional.

Beautiful plants and excellent customer service. Had a great time ordering several tropical houseplants from Foilage-factory.com. All but one arrived in great condition. After contacting customer service, I quickly got detailed help nursing the plant back to full health. Never experienced such service before!

Die Sendung kam leider in keinem guten Zustand bei mir an, kann passieren. Habe mich darauf hin sofort an Foliage Factory gewandt und habe selten einen so guten, schnellen, freundlichen und kulanten Kundendienst erlebt.
