Shipping Restrictions

Postage on checkout applies to all states and territories within Australia except Western Australia and the Northern Territory for plants. It is the responsibility of the customer to select the correct shipping option as costs to each location will vary, and Chalet Boutique will contact the customer if shipping to their specified address has not been covered by the shipping selection made on checkout.

Chalet Boutique uses Australia Post and local couriers and is bound by their prices. Due to State Laws Chalet Boutique is unable to ship to The Northern Territory and Western Australia; therefore, any order from these areas will be refunded and cancelled. Australia Post does not offer a fragile option on parcels and as such Chalet Boutique holds no responsibility for damaged items on delivery. Chalet Boutique ships to the address supplied by the customer and bears no responsibility for shipping delays or complications when the shipping address on the order has been entered by the customer incorrectly or incompletely. All orders are marked ‘leave safe’ unless ‘signature required’ is specifically requested by the customer.

Orders are shipped Monday and Tuesday with a cut-off of 5 pm Saturday. Any order received after this time will be shipped the following week.

Please Note: any completed purchase orders where the incorrect shipment has been selected will not be shipped until the correct amount has been paid and received by Chalet Boutique.

How to care for a Columnea

Light: Medium to bright, indirect light. Keep out of direct light.

Water: Keep the medium slightly moist but not wet as they don’t like being soggy. Wait until the top 5cm of soil is dry, then water thoroughly. Don’t let your plant sit in water, or they will rot.

Temperature: 18deg and above. Keep them away from cold drafts, air conditioning, and heating vents as they’re cold-sensitive.

Humidity: Over 60%

Medium: Aroid Mix

Fertiliser: Feed with a liquid fertiliser in the growing months.

Unless stated, our plants are shipped in their nursery pots, as you see in the photos. Sometimes plants may have blemishes on the foliage, but this won't affect the overall health or future growth of the plant; this is just the nature of plants. Plants ordered may differ as not every plant is the same, and the plant you receive may vary slightly in size, colour, and shape.

Please take care when choosing your plants, as some are poisonous to people and animals. Decorative pots and plants are all sold separately.
