Frequently asked questions

Yes, the bottles purchased online can be shipped anywhere in the continental United States.

Yes! The marimo propagations that are included in these bottles will grow very slowly. Think 1-2 millimeters in the first one to two years. Eventually, the larger they grow, the faster they will grow also.

These bottles are meant to be incredibly low thresh holds for care. They will need periodic, partial freshwater changes and to be placed away from glaring/direct sunlight. To change the water, all that needs to be done, is to drain the bottle halfway (while being careful not to pour out your moss ball) and refill it with fresh water.

Not necessarily, any fresh water you would feel safe using on your other houseplants should be fine.

Marimo Moss is a form of compacted freshwater algae. The plant will not be harmed holding it in your hand/pinching the moss with your fingers to help shape it to your desired roundness.

The Salem Plant Witch is located at 1 Derby Square, on the second floor in Suite One. Look to your left as you come up the stairs! You will be able to see into the shop. The shop is through the door at the top of the stairs, to the immediate left.

Unfortunately, the shop is on the second floor of a historic building with steep stairs. It may not be easily accessible for people with mobility issues and for those who rely on mobility aids. If you are interested in shopping with us while in Salem and are not able to access the shop space, please contact Lulu via email or social media. We will try our best to accommodate you as much as possible by special appointment.

We try to remain open Thursday through Monday 12-6. On Weekends we open Saturday from 11-6 and Sunday 12-5. The Salem Plant Witch is a one woman owned operated business and these hours are subject to change as needed. If I am unable to be at the shop for whatever reason, be it personal or professional, I will unfortunately not be able to open.

All forms of Witchcraft have special areas of interest or focus. Astrology Witches study the stars and the Zodiac, Divination Witches focus on Tarot, scrying, etc. A Plant Witch is the same thing as a Green Witch or a Hedge Witch. My special area of interest is Plants: their magical correspondence, care, etc. I very much believe that anyone can be a Plant Witch, it is only a matter of helping you make the right accommodations in your space and introducing you to the right kind of plant.
