Frequently Asked Questions About Our Collections
How are plants purchased online shipped?
I Giardini di Giulia uses a protective packaging system designed for shipping live plants. Each plant is securely anchored inside reinforced boxes, with specific protection for the pot, stem, and foliage. Delivery takes place within 24-48 hours of dispatch via selected couriers, minimizing thermal and mechanical stress during transit.
What are the best indoor plants for purifying the air in your home?
The most effective houseplants for purifying the air include Snake Plant (mother-in-law's tongue), Peace Lily, Golden Pothos, Rubber Plant, and Dracaena. These species can absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, significantly improving indoor air quality. In our Indoor Plants collection, you'll find all these varieties with detailed care sheets.
What is a terrarium, and how much maintenance does it require?
A terrarium is a miniature plant ecosystem enclosed in a transparent glass container. It works by creating a self-sustaining microclimate through the internal water cycle: moisture evaporates from the plants and substrate, condenses on the glass walls, and falls back into the soil, nourishing the roots again. A well-balanced closed terrarium requires very little maintenance, often just misting every 2-4 weeks.
How do you choose the right bonsai for a beginner?
For those new to the art of bonsai, we recommend hardy, tolerant species such as Ficus Ginseng (ideal for indoors), Chinese Elm, or Privet. These varieties forgive small mistakes in watering and pruning and adapt well to home environments. Every bonsai purchased from I Giardini di Giulia comes with a comprehensive care guide covering watering, light exposure, fertilizing, and repotting.
What is preserved greenery, and how long does it last?
Preserved greenery is made from 100% natural plants, mosses, and lichens treated with an eco-friendly preservation process: the plant sap is replaced with a glycerin-based solution that stops the natural aging of the cells. The result is plant material that retains its fresh appearance, softness, and natural color for 5 to 10 years, without needing water, sunlight, or any maintenance.
Can green plant favors be customized for my event?
Certainly. I Giardini di Giulia's green wedding favors are fully customizable: you can choose the plant variety (succulents, mini bonsai, tillandsias, kokedama), the type of container, ribbon color, personalized tags with names and event date, and outer packaging. We offer free, dedicated consultations for weddings, christenings, communions, and corporate events, with the option to receive samples in advance.
What is a Tillandsia, and how do you care for an air plant?
Tillandsias, commonly known as air plants, are epiphytes in the Bromeliaceae family that naturally grow attached to bark, rocks, or branches without needing soil. They absorb water and nutrients from atmospheric moisture through special structures called trichomes. They're easy to care for: mist with non-hard water 2-3 times a week, ensure good air circulation and indirect light. They don't need a pot or growing medium.
Does I Giardini di Giulia offer a guarantee on plants purchased online?
Every plant shipped by I Giardini di Giulia is covered by an arrival guarantee. We carefully select each specimen before shipping, checking its phytosanitary condition, root system vigor, and canopy integrity. If your plant arrives damaged, send us a photo and we'll always find a solution. Our reviews on Trustpilot and Google attest to our reliable service.
