Our Story
About Us
Welcome to Purnama Tropicals
A business born out of a our passion for plants. My love of houseplants began in 2001 when I moved into my first home, after carrying a 6ft Monstera over my shoulder all the way home on the bus back from a well known Swedish home furnishings retailer. I knew then there was a better way of getting plants delivered.
We bring together a carefully curated selection of ornamental plants, featuring some lesser spotted varieties that you might not find in your local garden centre! We believe that plants are the perfect way to update your home or office and with numerous studies highlighting their wellbeing benefits for you, your family or colleagues.
Myself and the team are fanatical about plants. We genuinely do live and breathe plants, we just love our plants, so we present for you a beautiful ornamental plants and we can ship worldwide. We have Phytosanitary certificates are issued to indicate that consignments of plants, plant products or other regulated articles meet specified phytosanitary import.
If you’re a new plant parent or looking to extend your collection please do get in touch. We’re always on hand to offer friendly advice, over the phone or via our live chat you can pick our brains on the perfect pot or which plant will sit in home or garden.
It’s not just our products that are green. We’re proud that 100% of our packaging is now either recyclable or compostable. As a tim we’ve made a concerted effort to switch to sustainable packaging, it may be a little more pricey, but we sleep better at night.

Our number one priority is that our plants arrive in happy, healthy condition. You never know what adventures a plant can get into making its way to your home! Our plants ship in their nursery grow pot to allow for a safe and comfy ride all the way to your doorstep. Allowing plants to stay in their grow pot while being shipped helps reduce the risk of stress and shock that could happen if they were to be potted in a new planter before leaving the greenhouse.
If you paired your plant with one of our planters, the grow pot will be securely nestled inside. For large plants and planters, including faux plants, the planter will ship separately from the large plant due to its weight.
In our stores, we offer to freshly pot plants in-store for our customers. Plants potted in our shops have a shorter journey to your home so we love offering this service for local plant parents.
First, lucky them! Second, on our cart page you’ll find an option to add a gift note. You can rest assured that all orders are shipped without pricing information and include directions on how to access our digital Care Library for plant care instructions.
You can also let your gift recipient know something is on the way from yours truly by filling out this form – also linked in your order confirmation email. (Don’t worry, we won’t spoil what the surprise is or send them any marketing emails.)
The short answer is, no. First, let your plant acclimate to its new environment. Place the plant in the spot you plan to keep it in. Let it settle in for about two weeks.
After two weeks, your plant has adjusted—your home’s light levels and temperature differ from a greenhouse!—and you can pot it into its ceramic planter, if you choose. You might notice your plant’s earthenware planter is wider than the plant’s nursery pot. This space is for your plant to grow into, should you choose to repot it. But remember, this is optional: as long as your plant still has room to grow in its nursery grow pot, and looks happy and healthy, you don’t need to lift a finger!
For some, the mantra ‘plant care is self care’ means the convenience of leaving it in the nursery grow pot and for others, it may mean getting your hands dirty to repot. Do what works best for you! Do not be afraid to try different methods for different plants.
