Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this listing is for a shipping service, understanding proper care upon arrival is crucial for any live plant you purchase. Once your plants arrive via our reliable USPS shipping, it’s important to acclimate them properly. Carefully unpackage your plant, removing any protective materials. Inspect the plant for any signs of stress or damage, which are rare with our careful packaging but can occasionally occur during transit. Give your plant a light watering if the soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering, especially if it was recently watered before shipping.

Place your newly arrived plant in a location with appropriate light conditions for its species. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight immediately, as this can shock a plant that has been in a dark box. Instead, introduce it to its ideal light gradually over a few days. For most houseplants, bright, indirect light is a good starting point. Maintain consistent watering based on the plant’s needs, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Proper watering is key to preventing root rot and ensuring the plant settles into its new environment.

Allow your plant a week or two to acclimate to its new surroundings before considering repotting or significant fertilization. This acclimation period helps reduce stress and allows the plant to recover from the journey. Our garden supply delivery ensures your plants arrive ready for this transition. Knowing how to care for your new botanical additions after they’ve been transported safely is just as important as the shipping itself for their long-term success. Always research the specific care requirements for each plant species to provide the best possible environment.
