Where we deliver

Soto plants, pot kits, pots and accessories are delivered throughout the UK Mainland. Soto currently delivers borders within Greater London and the Home Counties. If you live outside of these areas but would like to purchase something from Soto, please get in touch to discuss.

It is important to remember that plants are living things, so please open the packages as soon as you receive them.

• Our plants receive a thorough water before being packed, enough for their intended journey time, so it is important you follow the Soto care guidelines.
• Please contact Soto if you need to update your delivery instructions.
• If you are not personally receiving the delivery, please ensure the person who is will be happy to accept perishable items and will check the delivery.
• If you are ordering more than one item, please be aware that items may not be delivered together, or they may be grouped together for a single delivery. You will only be changed one delivery fee (if relevant).
