Frequently Asked Questions
With our four season subscription service, we design and deliver four tres magnifique arrangements in a biodegradable insert. Each season, you will need to pull out and dispose of last season’s planting (compostable insert) and place the new insert we delivered to your front porch. Our inserts are biodegradable. For your first season with the subscription, you can add a new planter to your order, and we'll deliver it to your front door with the insert. For the subsequent seasons, we will deliver the inserts and place them by your front door.

Click here for instructions on how to measure your planter and see our insert size options. We only drop off the Le Petit Planter inserts, as it is up to you to install them and confirm that you have ordered the correct size to fit your current planter.) It is your responsibility to choose insert sizes for you. There are no returns for inserts that do not fit properly.

We will provide instructions about watering and covering when we drop off Le Petit Planter insert at your home. It does not matter the season, planters need to be regularly checked and watered as needed. The best way to do this is to stick a finger two inches into the soil. If the soil is dry, then water. The smaller plants around the edge/perimeter of the container tend to dry out first.
Winter planters are created with Kansas City’s cold weather in mind. Spring and Fall inserts can be damaged by a frost if not covered when temperatures dip below 40 degrees at night. We recommend Spring and Fall drop-ins be covered overnight with a light sheet, breathable fabric, or landscape fabric when temps are expected to drop below 40 degrees. Do NOT cover with plastic. You will be provided with care instructions for your inserts. But ultimately for each season, it is up to you to regularly check if the soil has dried out and requires watering. The best way to do this is to stick your finger two inches into the soil. If the soil is dry, then you need to water. The smaller plants around the edge/perimeter of the planter tend to dry out first.
No, however Le Petit Planter inserts are compostable. All new season planters are left at your front door or driveway with care instructions included.
We provide top quality plants and detailed care instructions for your Le Petit Planter insert. It is your responsibility to water and care for the plants according to our instructions. If you notice that a specific plant in not doing well in the planter, please let us know within 24 hours of delivery.
We thoughtfully select the plants and create designs in advance, so we are unable to fulfill specific flower requests. Please understand that we choose plants that are right for the season. If you are interested in a more custom arrangement, feel free to reach out to our sister company (Adorn Planters-www.adornplanters.com. Julie in Kansas City will be happy to assist you).

Care instructions
Here are your recommendations for you to keep your winter greens happy and flourishing all season long.
Water: Regular and thorough watering is the key to your success. Make sure the water gets to all the plants in the pot, from the edges to the center. Even when we receive rain, please check your containers to see that they received proper hydration.
Rainwater is usually never enough to make a difference. Wind dries out the planters; if it is particularly windy, please water more frequently. Morning water is ideal, but watering in general is key. Plants in the shade do not dry out as quickly and require less watering.
The frequency of watering depends on daily temperatures:
- 80º and above – water daily
- 70º – water every other day
- 60º – water every third day
- 50º – every week
- 33º - 40º – every 10 days
- 32º or below – no water needed
- Frost – Be prepared to either bring your insert inside or cover with a breathable fabric. (Please note that it is not necessary to cover winter greens.)
For Winter Inserts: We recommend spritzing the greens with water every week. We applied Wilt Pruf which is an anti-desiccant and helps to keep moisture in the needles in any weather. We recommend reapplying Wilt Pruf (found on Amazon or a local nursery every few weeks.)
