Potted Camilla Dieffenbachia in Terracotta Wrap

The camilla dieffenbachia is grown for its leaves rather than its flowers: wide, cream-marbled green blades that fill a corner without needing anything else. This one comes in a white polymer pot wrapped in terracotta and pale blue paper, tied with a gold ribbon, which lifts it from houseplant to gift. It is a sensible choice for an office, a new job or a promotion, and for anyone who likes plants but does not want the obligation of a cut arrangement. Thirty to thirty-five centimetres tall in a twelve-centimetre pot. The plant is toxic if chewed, so it is not the right present for a home with a small child or a curious cat.

What is actually in it

One camilla dieffenbachia in a white polymer pot twelve centimetres high and thirteen and a half wide, wrapped in terracotta and pale blue paper with a gold ribbon. Overall height thirty to thirty-five centimetres. Stem count, exact wrap and pot finish can vary slightly with seasonal availability.

What it looks like on day four

This is a living plant rather than a cut arrangement, so it does not have a vase life. Kept in the right light and watered properly it stays with the recipient for months or years, and the decorative pot remains long after that. Leaf size and the exact number of open flowers vary from plant to plant.

We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.

Give the plant bright, indirect light and keep it away from direct sun and from draughts. Water when the top of the soil feels dry, keeping it lightly moist rather than wet, since standing water is the quickest way to rot the roots. It prefers a steady spot and a room that stays above twenty degrees, and it does not like being moved around. Dust the leaves occasionally and it will keep going for years.

The five things that actually matter

1. Recut the stems. Two centimetres off at a 45° angle, under running water if you can. Air locks in the stem are the main cause of early droop.
2. Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
3. Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
4. Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
5. Cool and out of direct sun. A radiator or a sunny windowsill will halve the vase life of anything.

Do all five and you should see nine days from this bouquet rather than five. The long version is in the journal.

Delivery

Same-day delivery is available across all 39 districts of Istanbul, on the same nine daily delivery windows from 09:00 to 22:00. Delivery is always free, on every order, everywhere we deliver in Istanbul, no threshold, no surcharge.

We deliver in our own vans with our own drivers. That is more expensive than handing it to a parcel courier, and it is the reason 98.2% of orders land inside the window you chose.

Substitution policy

Fresh flowers are an agricultural product. Occasionally the market does not have what we planned for, especially with seasonal stems like peonies. When that happens we do one of two things, and never anything else:

• Substitute a stem of equal or greater value in the same colour family, and email you a photograph before dispatch so you can approve it or cancel for a full refund.
• If no acceptable substitute exists, we call you. We will not quietly send something different and hope you do not notice.

Cancellations

Change or cancel free until 18:00 the day before delivery. After that the flowers are cut and conditioned specifically for your order, so cancellation is not possible — this is the perishable-goods exception under distance-selling rules, and it is stated again at checkout before you pay.
