Shipping Policy
We only ship via USPS priority 2 day shipping to ensure the safe arrival of live plants. Express option is available. Please ensure you are adding a heat pack to your order if temps will be below 40F during transit/in your locality (please see refund policy for more information).
We only ship plants on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we do not ship the day before holidays. This is to ensure your plants aren't sitting in the post office for longer than necessary.
Packaging
For Tissue Culture Vitro Plants:
I only use high quality gellan gum for my tissue culture plants. Gellan gum is a tissue culture medium like agar, but more capable of withstanding higher temps without melting or cracking, and has a much firmer consistency than agar. This means the vitro cups will arrive without the media becoming a huge mess.
For Non - TC, Acclimated Plants:
We only ship bare root to avoid any problems in states which have laws prohibiting the shipment of soil across state lines and a mess during shipping. Bare root plants are shipped with roots wrapped in a damp paper town or sphagnum moss, and inside either a deli cup with lid or a pot with a dome to protect the leaves/stems (depending on the size/shape of the plant.)
Safe Shipping
I've run all of my packaging methods through extensive testing to make sure they can withstand the trauma of shipping (in other words, I've packaged plants and thrown them down stairs to see how they survived afterwards.) So rest assured, your babies will arrive safe and sound!
