Bamboo Plant Questions
How does Shipping and delivery work?
At thelittlebigbamboo, bamboo delivery and/or planting is an extension of our brand. We work closely with you to ensure a fast and accurate delivery time.
Given the high cost of freight, we decided to run our own delivery service. We pass on the savings to you. We also offer free face-to-face tips and tricks to kick start your bamboo journey with the best foot forward.
Our bamboo plants are carefully handpicked and handed over with care. All orders are now Contact-free by default.
Delivery anywhere in victoria. The last few awesome deliveries were in Drouin, Inverloch, Warragul, Ballarat, Foster, and Geelong.
Which Bamboo pot size is Best?
Our most popular pot size is the 30cm pot. Faster screening, ultimate root system, fail-safe and it’s actually 55% cheaper than the average 3L/20cm pots over the same amount of time to get your privacy screening.
Our ONE OF A KIND 20cm pots our second-best seller if you are on a budget but want the fastest possible screening
Our entry (economical pot size) 3L Size B or C is our third-best seller if you are a newbie but a risk-taker!
We will provide the most amazing plant instructions that will help you to be a successful bamboo plant parent 😊
Do I need to finger my Bamboo plants on arrival?
No, seriously. Stick your finger into the soil and see how damp it is. Regardless, please water your Bamboo plants generously.
How long can I keep my Bamboo plants until planting?
Transit is harsh! We strongly recommend to plant on the day of delivery or next. They can only stay in pots an extra 4 days as long as they are watered 3 times a day and kept in the shade, away from the wind.
Can I overwater my Bamboo plants for the first 30 days?
No! Bamboo loves water! We strongly recommend to water your green babies twice a day for the first month to ensure proper root establishment.
Are the height of the plants exact?
Unfortunately, mother nature dictates the height. Please allow tolerance above or under. We use an average height which may include the pot size. This is not a reflection of the quality of the plant as all sizes are grown within the same batch to guarantee quality root system development.
Can I pay Cash on Delivery?
Sure do! Your Bamboo journey starts here.
We believe that you deserve more and better. This is why our prices must be more affordable.
Returns and Exchanges
Do you have a returns policy?
We offer returns for 30 days from date of delivery/receiving of Bamboo Product order for eligible product and conditions.
We offer guarantee for 14 days from date of delivery/receiving of Bamboo Plant order for eligible pot sizes and conditions.

Can I return my order for a refund?
