Welcome to the enchanting world of the Alocasia Plumbea Flying Squid, where botanical wonders meet airborne cephalopod delight! With its whimsical, tentacle-like leaves, this quirky Alocasia promises to steal the spotlight in your green collection.

When caring for your Flying Squid, think sunny soirees—place it in bright, indirect light, but keep the direct sun at bay. These airborne adventurers prefer their soil to be moist, but don't drown them! Allow the top layer to dry out between waterings for the perfect aquatic balance. And for the grand finale, ensure a breezy performance by providing good airflow—watch those tentacles sway and dance with grace.

Transform your space into a playful underwater realm with the Alocasia Plumbea Flying Squid, where every day is a botanical performance! 🌱🦑✨

Calculated rates

We use a direct API link to Australia Post for our rates, so the rates you see at the checkout are fed directly from Australia Post. The rates are not estimates, they are the actual Australia Post rates, we do not add any extra to the price.
The rates are based on the actual weight of the order [or the cubic weight if its higher] and your delivery address. 
We don't make any profit from shipping rates, we only charge you what we're charged.

Australia Post have weight breaks for their shipping rates
0-500g
501g-1kg
1.01kg-3kg
3.01kg-5kg
5kg-22kg max - This rate is calculated per kg and may be higher than if you stick with the 3.01kg-5kg bracket.
The above break are subject to change and may depend upon your location.

Plant Weights

Here is an estimate on what our plants weigh, please use this as a guide only as some plants that are larger and taller weigh more than smaller plants. The weight for every product will be just below the product description, please use this to calculate the total order weight.

50mm Pots - 100g
100mm Pots - 500g
130mm Pots - 750g
180mm Pots - 2-3kg

Custom Packaging

Our custom packaging is beautiful + strong so that your plants arrive safe and in good condition. We don't charge any additional price for packaging materials.

Plants

We send plants exclusively with Australia Post Express. Our shipping app knows when there is a plant in the order and will only display Express Post rates. 
As plants are top priority we ship them with the fastest method possible.

Magical Maxis

Our Magical Maxis range are grown in larger pots 175mm and for too big to fit in our regular packaging. 
We've offered these larger plants with complimentary shipping as they need to ship one plants per box and cannot be packed together with any of our other plants due to their size.
The weight of these plants will not affect the capped 5kg shipping price.

At this stage we are not shipping out Magical Maxi range to WA, NT or TAS.

Accessories

Accessories can be shipped with either Parcel Post or Express Post. Our shipping app will assess your shopping cart and identify what you are shipping. If you only have accessories in your cart, it will display rates for Parcel Post and Express Post, however if you have accessories + plants in your cart it will only show rates for Express Post.

Keyrings

We use untracked letters for posting keyrings, these are sent in a large letter using stamps so there is no way to track these deliveries. 
We do give the option at the checkout to select a paid shipping option with tracking, including Parcel Post and Express Post.
Delivery timeframes for untracked letters are generally a few weeks but can take much longer to arrive.
