Live plant care in transit

Shipping live plants requires more than a box and some bubble wrap. Here's how we keep them healthy on the journey to you.

Pre-shipment watering

Plants are watered 24–48 hours before dispatch — hydrated enough for transit, but not so wet that roots sit in moisture during the journey.

Temperature protection

In colder months (October–March) we include heat packs where appropriate and use insulated liners to protect tropical specimens from cold shock.

Secure packing

Each plant is individually wrapped, staked if needed, and nestled firmly so it cannot shift during transit. Pots are sealed to prevent soil spillage.

Acclimatisation on arrival

When your plant arrives, unbox it promptly, remove all packaging, and place it in bright indirect light for 48–72 hours before resuming your normal care routine.

Our packaging promise

We're committed to keeping our packaging as eco-friendly as possible. That means biodegradable tape, recycled cardboard, and plastic-free void fill wherever we can manage it.

Our 3D printed moss poles and hardware ship in the same box as your plant, nestled securely alongside it. No separate deliveries, no extra packaging waste.
