6. Question: Can I Pre Purchase more than 1 Qty.
Answer: No. Pre Purchase only allows you to reserve 1. When your plant is ready for sale you will be contacted by email and given the option to modify your order. At this time you can change the qty^ to the amount you wish and pay for the additional quantities. For those wanting to pre purchase bulk quantities such as wholesale nurseries we request that you contact us. ^Some very hard to propagate varieties are limited to 1 per customer.
7. Question: How does pricing work?
Answer: You lock in the base price of the plant and even if the price goes up later due to not many being successful the price you paid and locked in will not change. This is especially the case with hard to get and grow plants and will often save you money. There are a few scenarios where this is not the case and that is where we grew far too many plants and they go onto the specials page and start to outgrow their pots and we need to move them fast. This is however unlikely with popular hard to get plants.
