🔍 A Walk Through Time With Shampoo Ginger 🔍

From the enchanting lands of India and the Malay Peninsula, to the rhythmic shores of Hawaii, this ginger holds tales as old as time. In Hawaii, it's revered as "Awapuhi" and has been a cornerstone in hair care rituals for centuries[^1^]. The native Hawaiians extracted its lush juice to naturally nourish and wash their hair. 🌺

Fast-forward to modern times, its legacy lives on. Brands like Paul Mitchell championed its benefits, incorporating Awapuhi into their hair products, honoring the age-old Hawaiian tradition while giving it a contemporary twist!💆‍♀️✨


🌱 Cultivating Your Shampoo Ginger Sanctuary 🌱

  • Spot Selection: Sunlit or semi-shady, choose its perfect home.
  • Transplant Tips 🌱:
    1. Go shallow. Let the rhizome's tip peek slightly.
    2. Ensure firm soil support all around.
    3. Bless with water generously post-planting.

Nature’s Rhythms: 🍂 In cooler weather, Shampoo Ginger’s above-ground parts bid a temporary goodbye, but fear not! Its resilient rhizomes stay put, patiently waiting for the next season's warm embrace. For those looking for year-round greenery, it might not be the primary choice as an evergreen ornamental.

  • Love & Care 🚿: These thirsty pals need consistent soil moisture. Blanket with organic mulch for bonus love.

1. Shipping Stress: Transportation can be stressful for plants, particularly when they spend several days in a confined, dark environment. It’s common for plants to experience leaf drop during this period. Rest assured, most plants typically recover quickly and thrive with minimal aftercare. However, some may need extra attention, love, and care, requiring appropriate watering and exposure to gentle light post-unboxing.
 

2. Potential Physical Damage: Despite our dedicated efforts to ensure that your plants are securely packaged, they may incur damage during shipping and handling by UPS. Rest assured, our shipping team is committed to packing your selections with utmost care and precision to minimize any potential harm.

  • For significant box damage, please reach out to UPS within 30 days to initiate a claim.

  • For minor damages, such as a broken branch or stem, we advise allowing the plant time to recover and regenerate with proper care and attention.
     

3. Long-Distance Shipping Considerations: Orders shipped over long distances, particularly to the western US, may take 3 - 5 business days to arrive due to various factors, including agricultural inspections in Arizona, California, and Texas. Such extended transit times can be particularly challenging for tender, young plants, affecting their quality due to prolonged confinement.

  • We take additional measures during packaging to facilitate a swift recovery of the plants upon unboxing.

  • Initial extra care and attention might be required over the first few weeks post-transport.
     

For further guidance, kindly review our detailed policies on returns and refunds, as well as our comprehensive plant care guide. We appreciate your understanding and patience in nurturing your new plants.
