Looking to give a not-so-perfect plant a second chance? Our Imperfect and Rescue Plant Surprise Bags are packed with character—and great value!
Save 25–30% off RRP on plants with minor cosmetic flaws, such as leaf damage, sunburn spots, unusual shapes, or smaller size than usual. These plants are healthy without pest issue and ready to grow—just a little less Insta-perfect.
Save 50–60% off RRP on plants with more noticeable issues. These may include significant leaf loss, signs of past underwatering or overwatering, or pest problems. In some cases, pests have been treated but may still be active and require further care and monitoring.
We’ll always inform you about any known issues at the time of collection, or if you’re ordering online, feel free to add a note to your order and we’ll include a summary of the plant’s condition.
These plants need some extra love—but many can bounce back beautifully with the right care and environment.

Q1: What should I do if I receive a plant with signs of past pests from the Rescue Plant Surprise Bag?
A1: When you receive a plant with a history of pest issues, it’s crucial to isolate it from your other plants initially. Monitor the plant closely and continue any necessary treatment as outlined in the care guide accessed via the QR code provided with your plant.
Q2: Are the Imperfect Plants Rescue Bags suitable for beginners in plant care?
A2: Yes, these bags are great for beginners! Each plant comes with a scannable QR code linking to detailed care guides that will help you learn about your plants’ specific needs and how to manage imperfections or recover from past issues.
Q3: Can I request plants that are suitable for low light conditions or specific environments like terrariums?
A3: Each bag is a surprise selection, and while specific plants can’t be guaranteed, you can add a note to your order specifying your environment conditions like low light or terrarium suitability. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on the stock available at the time.
Welcome to your journey with the Imperfect Plants Rescue Bag! Each plant you receive is unique and brimming with potential. Ready to help your new green friends thrive? Here’s everything you need to know:
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Most of our rescue plants prefer medium light. Place them in a spot where they can enjoy bright, indirect sunlight. A few feet away from a south-facing window or directly in an east or west-facing window is ideal.
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your plants when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, especially as some might be recovering from past water issues. A good rule of thumb is to check the soil moisture every week.
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
These plants prefer average home temperatures of about 18-24°C. Keep them away from draughty windows and doors during the cold months, and avoid placing them directly next to heat sources like radiators.
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
Most houseplants enjoy a bit of humidity, especially if they’re recovering. You can increase humidity around your plants by grouping them together, placing a water tray nearby, or using a small humidifier.
Repot your rescue plants if you see roots growing through the drainage holes or if the growth seems stunted. Use a well-draining potting mix to give your plant a fresh start.
While many houseplants are safe for pets, some can be toxic. Please check the specific types of plants in your rescue bag against pet-safe lists or ask us directly for more information.
Living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms with medium light are great. Just ensure the plants are set up in their ideal light conditions and away from extreme temperatures.
Many houseplants, including some that may be in your rescue bag, are known for their air-purifying abilities. They can help remove toxins from the air, providing a cleaner indoor environment.
Every plant in the Imperfect Plants Rescue Bag is unique, which means they come with their own special features and quirks. Enjoy discovering the unique aspects and growth habits of each plant!
If you have any more questions, our Mossbot is here to help! You can also contact us via our website for specific queries. And remember, we offer a free plant hospital service if your rescue plants need a little extra help.
Thank you for giving these plants a loving home and for supporting sustainability with Highland Moss.

A bit misleading when buying online, as you don’t know the amount of plants you get in the rescue bag/box. Received only one small unhealthy peace Lilly and a very small cactus. A healthy peace Lilly is sold at the same price as the rescue box, so I would have been better off buying a healthy peace Lilly and a mini cactus separately, as it wasn’t the greatest either unfortunately! HOWEVER as I don’t get to review the free gift I will add it here, the free plant was great! But it badly needed repotting!!! But now it’s repotted I’m sure it will thrive! Added a photo of the free gift, NOT the rescue plants!

Just opened my £20 rescue box and love them all! I got 4 plants and if I added up all the RRP prices it comes to over £70! Looking forward to giving them some TLC and they’ll be back to full glory in no time (it won’t take long at all!)
My favourite thing about getting mystery boxes like this is getting random plants that are totally new to me and learning all about them. Rescues are always a gamble, but it teaches me lots about plant care.

Bit of water and a chop will be as good as new

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
