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 plant material. Each plant is securely anchored inside reinforced boxes with specific protection for the pot, stem, and foliage. Delivery takes place within 12-48 hours of dispatch via selected couriers, minimizing thermal and mechanical stress during transport.
What are the best indoor plants for purifying the air at home?
The most effective houseplants for purifying the air include Sansevieria (snake plant), 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 will 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 approaching the art of bonsai for the first time, we recommend hardy and tolerant species such as Ficus Ginseng (ideal for indoors), Chinese Elm, or Privet. These varieties forgive minor watering and pruning mistakes and adapt well to home environments. Every bonsai purchased from I Giardini di Giulia comes with a comprehensive care guide covering watering, light exposure, fertilization, and repotting.
What is stabilized greenery, and how long does it last?
Stabilized greenery is made from 100% natural plants, mosses, and lichens that undergo an eco-friendly preservation process: the plant sap is replaced with a glycerin-based solution that stops natural cellular aging. The result is plant material that retains a fresh appearance, softness, and natural color for 5 to 10 years, without requiring water, sunlight, or any maintenance.
Can green plant-based wedding favors be customized for my event?
Certainly. The green wedding favors from I Giardini di Giulia are fully customizable: you can choose the botanical variety (succulents, mini bonsai, tillandsias, kokedama), the type of container, ribbon color, personalized tags with the names and date of the event, and the outer packaging. We offer free, dedicated consultations for weddings, christenings, communions, and corporate events, with the option of receiving 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 humidity through special structures called trichomes. Care is simple: mist with low-lime water 2-3 times a week, ensure good air circulation and indirect light. They require neither a pot nor a substrate.
Does I Giardini di Giulia offer a guarantee on plants purchased online?
Every plant shipped by I Giardini di Giulia is guaranteed to arrive safely. We rigorously select each specimen before shipping, checking its phytosanitary condition, root-system vigor, and canopy integrity. If the plant arrives damaged, send us a photo and we'll always find a solution. Our reviews on Trustpilot and Google testify to the reliability of our service.
