Plant imports and paperwork
Any plant brought into Hong Kong must come with a Plant Import Licence and a valid phytosanitary certificate under the local plant quarantine rules. That matters most for imported fruit trees and rare species, so ask the seller to confirm both documents before you pay. Check that the certificate is in your name or the seller's name, as the paperwork is part of the order.
Timing around the seasons
Hong Kong has winter from December to February and a hot summer from June to August. November is the month before the cool season, so young plants bought now will face the coming winter outdoors, while a summer planting needs shade and regular watering. Ask the seller when the plant should go into the ground and whether it suits a balcony or a garden bed.
How plants are priced and delivered
Plants are quoted per pot, per plant or per bundle, and sellers give the pot size or the height in centimetres. Ask the seller to confirm the delivery fee to Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun before you order, and whether the price includes the pot and the growing medium.
What to write in your request
Name the plant, its grade or age and how many you need. Add the size you want in centimetres, the root system if it matters (bare-root or potted), and what the plant is for, such as a hedge, a fruit harvest or a balcony display. Include your delivery city and your budget in HK$.
BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the plant in your own words in the chat and add a photo if it helps. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms.
