  • The potted plants needed to go to Miami without stress

    Marco discovered his green thumb when he bought six succulent plants for his apartment in New York, and enjoyed tending to them every day. It was soothing and eased stress, and they made his place look spiffy. He was determined to bring his plants along when he moved to Miami Beach.

How to ship plants

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I prepare my plants for shipping?

    • Just snuggle them in a recycled box or plastic storage bin to catch any loose dirt. No need for bubble wrap or air packs, because your plants won’t be knocked around in transit. When figuring out how to ship potted plants, simply make sure they’re secured in a carrier before the drive.

  • When shipping plants, do I need a special pot to hold them?

    • Nope. Your plants are fine in the pots or vases they’re already in. That’s how to ship plants the hassle-free way.

  • Should I water the plants before shipping?

    • It’s a good idea to water plants a day or two before a trip, but you don’t want to soil to be saturated — just moist. For longer trips, your driver will be sure to check the soil and give them more water as needed. With cut flowers that are in vases, it’s a good idea to only fill the vase halfway with water so it doesn’t slosh around.

  • When will my plants or flowers arrive?

    • You can track their journey in real time with the tracker on our app, which works on all devices, so you’ll know exactly when they’re arriving.
