Important Note 

Plant Disclosure

You will receive a live Red Prayer Plant in the pot size selected. Each Celeste grows a little differently, so size, fullness, leaf patterns, and red coloring naturally vary.

Styled images show decorative settings and may depict a more mature plant. A decorative planter is included only when expressly specified in your selected option. Other props and accessories are not included.

Celeste’s leaves naturally change position throughout the day and may fold upward at night. Minor cosmetic blemishes, leaf curling, or shipping stress may occur. Unpack promptly, place in bright, indirect light, and check the soil before watering. Keep her soil lightly moist without leaving it soggy.

If Celeste arrives with significant damage or a condition concern, contact hello@thelovefern.com within 24 hours of delivery. Include your order number and clear photos of the entire plant, affected areas, shipping box, and shipping label. Keep the plant and packaging while we review your concern.
