FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plants
.
If I buy plants from your website, will they arrive in good condition?
Plants are shipped in mesh pots suitable for the garden, well protected with a protective plastic and cardboard to prevent damage during transport. Plants are delivered within 24 hours to any location in mainland Spain. Once received, you just need to take them out of the box and place them in your Citysens garden.
What should I do to enjoy my Citysens garden plants without issues?
We recommend following these guidelines:
1. Choose the right plants according to the light in your space and with similar watering needs.
2. Opt to buy quality plants from our website or your trusted florist or garden center. Ask for advice from professionals. Today, there are cheap plants with accelerated growth using hormones; these plants last very little once purchased.
3. Set up the correct watering schedule and check it during the first 3 weeks.
4. Perform basic maintenance for both the plants and the irrigation system:
- Ensure there is always water and nutrients in the reservoir.
- Prune wilted leaves.
- Dust the leaves once a month.
- Check the overall condition of the plant every 6 months. Prune the roots and leaves if necessary.

There are plants of varying quality on the market. Always choose high-quality plants. You can find them on our website, at your local florist, or the nearest garden center.
What should I consider when choosing plants for my Citysens garden?
When choosing plants for your Citysens vertical garden, consider the light and temperature (indoor or outdoor) that the plants will receive at the garden’s location. Select plants that match your space’s conditions. The plants in the same garden will receive the same light, temperature, and watering.
You can find information on the light, temperature, and watering needs of the best plants for your Citysens vertical garden in the descriptions of Citysens gardens or our plant families.

What should I do if I buy plants on my own?
If you purchase plants from your local florist or nearest garden center, replace the original pot with the mesh pots included in your Citysens garden kit. The mesh pots are specially designed for the Citysens garden’s recirculating irrigation system, which is ideal for plants with or without soil (hydroponics). Always use the grey filters included in the garden to prevent soil from clogging the irrigation tubes.
How often should I water the plants?
The watering frequency for plants will depend on:
- The types of plants in the Citysens garden.
- The substrate you use.
- The amount of light the plants receive: less light means less watering is needed.
