To ensure maximum freshness and prevent plants from sitting in unheated carrier warehouses over weekends, we dispatch live plant packages exclusively Monday through Wednesday.

Plants are harvested fresh, carefully inspected, and protected with specialized moisture-barrier packaging to preserve hydration during transit.

Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Once shipped via expedited carrier, delivery typically takes 3–5 business days depending on your geographical location. You will receive an automated tracking link via email as soon as your label is generated.
