“BEWARE - Be very wary of purchasing from Hortology. I bought £115 palm from their site. First one had to be sent back, several fronds and leaves dried out or were drying out. Hortology cited frost damage. Second plant had exactly the same issue, the pictures enclosed are the leaves on day 1, within 30 days 75% of the plants fronds and leaves were yellow, dried out and dead. They've hidden behind their T's & C's and refused a 100% refund. They felt a gesture of 50% refund was a suitable decision. Personally, its not been a good experience with them and feel a little conned and almost £60 out of pocket.”

Hi Nick. You are correct in that we do not accept continued liability for a plant once it has been accepted. As plants are perishable items, we believe this is only fair and reasonable. We provide care instructions and are always available for support and advice should a plant start to deteriorate. We will not refund a plant that has deteriorated after 30 days due to incorrect care. However if there is an issue with a plant upon receipt and it will not recover are we will fix this without hesitation. This is demonstrated by the fact we accepted there was the potential for some cold damage on the first plant received as it was sent during a very cold spell. We collected it free of charge for return and inspection. Some foliage was affected but thankfully, after trimming away the damaged foliage and monitoring the plant for a period of time we were able to determine there was no long term damage to the roots or overall health of the plant . We sent you a replacement plant and checked it thoroughly to ensure it was in good condition prior to dispatch. The plant was specifically sent during warmer weather to ensure there was no risk of cold damage again. You contacted us about a month later to advise the plant was drying out and acknowledged the roots were relatively dry. We offered detailed advice as to how to get the watering regime back on track. However at this point we are unable to refund the plant in full for you. Had you rejected the second plant we could have returned it and refunded you in full at the time. It is really sad that you feel conned, you have expressed your disappointment with us continually throughout the transaction regardless of our efforts to put things right for you. We do however feel that it is unfair to expect to receive a refund in full for a healthy plant that has perished whilst in your care. In recognition of the fact you had been so disappointed with your first palm, we offered a 50% refund. This was meant as a genuine gesture of goodwill. Your Hortology Team
