Shipping Plants in the Winter

Alright everyone, lets be honest here... Winter and plants do not mix well at all.

With that in mind, We aim to pack your plants through the winter so you can still receive that wishlist plant you've been dreaming of!

We use Thermal Bubble Wrap Insulation and 96-110 hour heat packs to provide these plants with the best possible shipping outcome. However, things do still happen. Delays with the shipping companies that prevent your package from reaching you in 96 hours can be a recipe for disaster.

We highly recommend upgraded shipping to help prevent these possibilities. UPS 2 Day and Overnight shipping are great options for the winter.

What You Need To Know

Heat Packs and Insulation

Please make sure to add a Heat pack if your nighttime temps are between 35 degrees and 30 degrees.

Heat pack and Insulation is needed for any temps below 30 at night.

Plants that do NOT handle Below Freezing

We recommend avoiding ordering these plants if your temps are below 32 degrees. These are much more sensitive plants that have a hard time even with a heat pack and insulation.

*Begonias

*Espicia

*Caladium

*Colocasia

Upgraded Shipping

While we work on fixing our shipping settings to allow you to choose upgraded shipping at checkout, You can reach out to us directly after placing your order so we can invoice the difference in shipping costs.

You can also leave a NOTE at Checkout asking for upgraded shipping.

Unboxing your plants

When you receive a plant package that was shipped during the winter, there are a few things to do to help with the possible shock. Shock is 100% normal when shipping plants.

*Do not place them immediately near a heater, or under hot grow lights.

*Allow them some time to reach your homes temperature before moving them under lights.

*Before watering, make sure the soil is at least half dry. The worst thing for an already stressed plant would be overwatering.

*If your plants arrive frozen, please reach out to us immediately. We will need pictures of the plants, as well as pictures of the box.
