FAQ – Advent Calendar

🎄 This year, let the magic of Christmas grow with MonJungle! Our Advent calendars contain real live plants. Here are our tips for receiving, discovering, and pampering them during the holidays.

🌱 Important: open the compartments containing plants as soon as you receive them. Do not leave the cuttings enclosed until Christmas.

When will I receive my Advent calendar?

To preserve the freshness of the live plants, our calendars will be shipped starting in late November. A tracking email will be sent to you as soon as it has shipped. Delivery then depends on the carrier.

Should I keep the cuttings enclosed until Christmas?

No! The cuttings are alive and need light, air, and care. Take them out of their compartments as soon as you receive them, check their condition, and set them up according to their needs. Do not leave the plants in the box for 25 days.

How can I preserve the element of surprise?

You can ask a loved one to unpack and set up the plants without revealing their identity, then discover each variety at your own pace. The adventure also continues by watching your baby plants grow throughout the month.

How does the 15 plants + 10 accessories edition work?

It brings together 15 baby plants or cuttings and 10 accessories, making 25 surprises. Open the boxes containing the 15 plants upon receipt to keep them in good condition. You can keep the 10 accessories wrapped and open one each day to extend the pleasure until Christmas!

What is the difference between the two editions?

The 25 cuttings calendar contains 25 baby plants, including 5 announced rare varieties. The 15 plants + 10 accessories calendar combines plant discoveries and accessories. The exact compositions may vary depending on availability and product descriptions.

What varieties will I receive?

The calendar is a surprise: the selection may include Alocasias, Philodendrons, Hoyas, and other houseplants. The exact varieties depend on the selection prepared for your edition.

Are the plants real live plants?

Yes! Each cutting or mini-plant is alive: its size, colors, and growth may naturally vary. It will need attention well after the holidays.

How should I welcome my plants upon receipt?

Open the package quickly, check each plant, and place it in a bright area without intense direct sunlight, at a moderate temperature. Check its growing medium before watering: its needs depend on the species. Give it about two weeks to acclimate and avoid unnecessary repotting.

Can I keep the calendar closed to give it as a Christmas gift?

This is not recommended: the cuttings should not remain enclosed for several weeks. If you give it as a gift, warn the person who receives it, or have a loved one take out and care for the plants before Christmas.

How are the plants protected from the cold?

We carefully prepare live plant shipments and adapt their departure to weather conditions. Upon receipt, pick up the package without delay and protect the plants from temperatures that are too low.

What should I do if a plant arrives damaged?

Take photos of the plant, its packaging, and the package upon opening, then contact MonJungle customer service with your order number. We will review your situation and offer you a suitable solution.

Is this calendar suitable for beginners?

Yes, with a little curiosity and attention! Some varieties are easy, while others require more specific care. Each plant name will help you find the appropriate advice.

Can I choose the plants and accessories myself?

The principle of the calendar is to discover a surprise selection. The exact content is therefore not customizable unless otherwise indicated on the product page.

Why ship at the end of November?

Because we work with living things! We prefer to prepare the calendars as close to the beginning of Advent as possible to limit the time the plants spend in their packaging.

Which edition should I choose?

Choose the 25 cuttings to grow your plant collection, especially with rare varieties. Prefer the 15 plants and 10 accessories if you like surprises to use or unwrap throughout December.
