Indoor flowers delivered
across Almaty

Indoor plants in Almaty from Pro-Buket are potted plants from the salon's own assortment: a florist prepares the order, sends a photo of the plant before dispatch, and a courier delivers at the exact time, including night and anonymous delivery. Zone-based delivery from 2,500 ₸, free pickup, orders accepted daily, 9:00–24:00.

Which plant to choose for an apartment, office, and recipient

A plant is chosen not by the beauty of a picture, but by light, humidity, and who will care for it. Let's look at three parameters that determine whether a flower will take root in a specific apartment or office.

How to choose a plant for light and dry air from heating

Light is more important than watering: most of these species die not from drought, but from lack of light deep in the apartment — so the pot is placed near the window, not in the center of the room. If the window faces north, add a grow light for 8-10 hours a day.

Which plants are safe for cats, dogs, and children

• Spathiphyllum: leaves contain calcium oxalate crystals — when eaten, they cause burning and swelling in cats and dogs.
• Ficus benjamina: milky sap irritates skin and mucous membranes, dangerous for small children who pull leaves into their mouths.
• Dieffenbachia: one of the most toxic houseplants; if a stem is bitten, an urgent vet visit is needed.
• Sansevieria: safe for cats, dogs, and children, tolerates infrequent watering and shade deep in the room.
• Chlorophytum: non-toxic, but animals often chew its long leaves and then refuse food.
• Pelargonium: essential oils in the leaves irritate the respiratory tract of cats, especially in a small room.

Low-maintenance plants for a beginner and an office with air conditioning

For a beginner and an office with air conditioning, species that tolerate infrequent watering and humidity fluctuations are suitable — among them zamioculcas, spathiphyllum, and succulents. Zamioculcas stores moisture in tubers and withstands up to three weeks without watering, spathiphyllum blooms in partial shade at 18-22 °C, and jade plant and echeveria cope with dry air near the air conditioner. Phalaenopsis orchid is more beautiful but more demanding in watering and light: as a first flower, it will suit someone ready to monitor root condition and not overwater. Such a microclimate helps survive the heating season without losses.

How much a plant and zone delivery cost

The price of the flower itself and the price of its transport are calculated separately. Let's break down what makes up the cost of a plant and how much it costs to bring it to different zones.

What makes up the price of an indoor plant

• Species and variety: Ficus benjamina, spathiphyllum, monstera, zamioculcas, and sansevieria cost differently — rare varieties are more expensive than common ones.
• Size and age: a young offset in a 12 cm pot — from 3,000 ₸, a mature plant 80-100 cm tall — from 25,000 ₸.
• Catalog price: the final figure is always indicated in the product card — it already includes the pot, soil, and drainage.

Zone delivery rates and free pickup

You can buy indoor plants in Almaty with zone delivery, and pickup from the salon is free. If the recipient is not at home and the order returns to the salon, re-delivery is paid again — picking up the plant yourself is cheaper than paying for a second courier trip.

Delivery at the exact time, at night, and anonymously: how it works

The order is prepared by the salon's florist, and delivered by a courier from the same city — so time, night, and anonymity are coordinated directly, without intermediaries or resellers. Let's break down how the delivery service layer works from assembly to handover.

Photo of the plant before dispatch and preparation by the florist

Before dispatch, the florist of the Pro-Buket salon inspects the plant and sends a photo — the buyer sees exactly which plant will go to the recipient. The inspection includes checking the soil for overwatering, removing yellow leaves, wiping leaf blades from dust, and securing the pot in a transport box with kraft paper padding. Before the courier leaves, the plant is not watered for 12 hours — otherwise, during shaking in the car, water leaks onto the tray and stains the packaging. The photo records the condition before the courier leaves: if something happens to the packaging on the way, the sender has a snapshot to compare the result with.

Delivery at the exact time, at night, and anonymously

• Exact time: indoor plants with delivery in Almaty Pro-Buket brings at the agreed hour, not "during the day" — the courier calls the recipient 20-30 minutes before arrival.
• Night trips: we work daily, 9:00–24:00, orders placed before 22:00 are delivered the same evening.
• Anonymity: at the sender's request, the courier does not name the customer and hands over the plant as a gift "from a secret sender."
• Address change: if the recipient postponed the meeting, the courier adjusts the route within the city without extra charge if notified 2 hours in advance.
• Handover window: for offices and receptions, we fix a 15-minute interval — the recipient doesn't wait half a day for the gift.

What happens if the recipient is not at home

If the recipient is not at home, the Pro-Buket courier waits on site for 15 minutes, then we call the sender and, with their consent, leave the order at the reception or a nearby store. The concierge in a residential complex accepts the plant under signature if the sender confirmed this by phone — the courier photographs the handed-over pot next to the employee for reporting. If there is nowhere to leave the plant, the order returns to the salon: re-delivery is paid again, and pickup remains free — so when ordering to an office, it's worth clarifying in advance who will meet the courier.

First days after delivery: adaptation, watering, repotting

After the move, the plant adapts to new light and humidity levels. Let's break down what happens in the first days and which actions actually help and which harm.

Why a plant drops buds and leaves after delivery

Dropping buds and some leaves after delivery is a normal reaction to changing conditions: the plant has endured the journey, new lighting, and different humidity. Ficus benjamina may lose up to a third of its foliage, spathiphyllum — one or two buds, and the Phalaenopsis orchid sometimes drops unopened buds within 48 hours after arrival. You should worry only if leaves turn yellow en masse and with a soft, not dry, edge — this is a sign of overwatering, not adaptation.

To water or not to water in the first days

• Check the soil: finger to the depth of a phalanx — if the soil is wet, postpone watering for 2-3 days.
• Misting: when heating is on, mist the leaves with warm water in the morning, don't drench the roots.
• Tray with expanded clay: wet expanded clay under the pot raises humidity around the crown without risking root rot.
• Water for watering: settled for a day, at room temperature — chlorine and cold from the tap hit the root system.
• First watering: if the soil is dry through the entire phalanx, water until water comes out into the drainage and pour off excess from the tray.

When to repot a plant after purchase

You shouldn't repot a plant immediately after delivery: first it must adapt to the new place, usually this takes one to two weeks. Transport soil in the store is most often peat with a leavening agent, it is poor in nutrients but prevents roots from drying out on the road; changing it in the first days means adding stress on top of the move already endured. If roots are visible from the drainage holes or the soil dries out quickly, don't postpone repotting for long, but do it carefully, preserving the old root ball. Take a new pot 2-3 cm wider than the previous one, put a 2 cm layer of expanded clay on the bottom, and water only a day after repotting — this way wounds on the roots have time to heal.

Potted plant or bouquet: what to gift and to whom

A bouquet lives a few days and conveys the moment, a potted plant — months and years. Let's break down to whom and on what occasion it's more appropriate to give this particular option.

To whom and on what occasion to give a potted plant

• Housewarming: a potted flower moves with the owner and stays in the interior longer than cut roses — a practical gift for moving into an apartment.
• To a colleague at the office: a compact plant on the desk is appropriate without an occasion, and through Pro-Buket it is delivered at the exact time right to the business center.
• Birthday and March 8: choose flowering species — spathiphyllum, anthurium, phalaenopsis orchid — they are noticeable immediately and don't require daily attention.
• To a beginner recipient: for someone who doesn't understand flowers, it's better to give sansevieria, zamioculcas, or chlorophytum — they tolerate infrequent watering.
• To a plant enthusiast: for someone who collects species, a rare specimen is appropriate — fiddle-leaf fig, calathea, variegated monstera.

How a potted plant differs from a bouquet

A bouquet is appropriate when the moment and cut flowers are important, while a potted option — when the gift should remain: it lives at home or in the office for months and reminds of the sender. Cut stems last 5-10 days depending on the species, while such a flower with basic care — from six months to several years. Through Pro-Buket you can order both options: the bouquet is assembled for a specific occasion, and the plant is selected for the light and humidity of the room. The service sends a photo of the plant before dispatch and can deliver the order anonymously, so the sender sees the gift even without handing it over in person. If you are congratulating someone who is rarely at home, choose a succulent or sansevieria — they will survive two to three weeks without watering better than a demanding calathea.

Transporting a plant in the cold season

In winter, a plant on the road is at greater risk than in summer: cold acts faster than heat and leaves almost no time for correction. Let's break down how frost is endured and what to do in the first minutes after receiving.

How a plant endures frost during delivery

At sub-zero temperatures, a heat-loving plant can get cold stress in a matter of minutes, so in winter it is transported packed and not left outside. Tropical species — ficus, monstera, spathiphyllum, phalaenopsis orchid — lose turgor already at -5 °C: leaves darken, buds fall, and growth points are damaged irreversibly. Cacti and succulents tolerate short-term cold down to -10 °C, but during thaw and re-freezing, cell sap destroys tissues. For transportation in Almaty in January-February, three-layer packaging is used: kraft paper, bubble wrap, then thick cardboard or a thermal box; the pot is secured so the root ball doesn't shift, and the courier carries the order in the heated cabin of the car. The most dangerous moment is not the road, but the transfer from the car to the room: the short path from the courier to the door should be shortened, and it's better to unpack the plant already in the warmth.

What to do with the plant immediately after winter delivery

• Don't remove the packaging immediately: leave the plant in a closed box or thermal box for 20-30 minutes in a room at +20…+22 °C so the temperature rises gradually.
• Then unwrap the layers one by one: first cardboard, then film, and only at the end kraft — a sharp change from -5 °C to +25 °C shocks the leaves.
• Inspect leaves and growth points: dark spots, watery areas, drooping buds — signs of cold damage that will appear within a day.
• Water with warm water after 2-3 hours: not immediately, otherwise cold roots won't absorb moisture and the ball will remain wet.
• Don't place under a radiator or in a draft: keep in partial shade for the first day, away from a window with frosty glass — Pro-Buket delivers at the exact time, so the recipient knows the hour in advance and meets the courier.

Conclusion

We've gathered the main things to keep in mind before choosing and ordering a plant. Below are five takeaways that save time, money, and the recipient's nerves.

Main takeaways

• Selection by conditions: a plant is chosen for light, humidity, and the recipient's character, not just by a photo in the catalog.
• Price from several parts: the cost depends on species, size, age, and pot — the final amount is visible in the product card.
• Zone delivery: transport is calculated by district, pickup is free, and if the recipient is not there, the order returns to the salon.
• First days without intervention: don't water or repot — first adaptation to the new place takes 5-7 days.
• Winter logistics: packaging and gradual warming after the road are important, not a sharp temperature change at the apartment threshold.
