Heat packs are designed to provide warmth and prevent plants from experiencing cold stress during transit. It is advisable to assess the weather conditions in your region and determine if the use of heat packs is necessary to ensure the safe arrival and well-being of your plants. Heat packs are designed to raise the temperature inside a shipping box by approximately 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit, providing a significant buffer against cold temperatures during transit. This can be crucial in preventing damage and potential death to plants, as they can stop growing or sustain damage at temperatures around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and can quickly perish at 40 degrees and below. Even though USPS warehouses are not freezing, there may be instances where shipments are exposed to the elements while awaiting loading or delivery, making heat packs a valuable addition to ensure the safe arrival of your plants. ___________________________________________ Please note that due to the natural variations in plants, no two plants will look exactly the same.

We assure you that all our plants are healthy and we appreciate your understanding and support of nature's unique beauty. ___________________________________________ We use biodegradable plant-based peanuts in our packaging. These offer a green-friendly alternative for packaging and are made from naturally derived starches like wheat and cornstarch and will dissolve in water in seconds, making it impossible for them to wind up polluting oceans, lakes, rivers, or waterways. Their compostability and low carbon footprint contribute to reducing environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable approach to packaging.
