Shipping & Live Arrival Guarantee
Ships from Florida and California, USA, potted in its nursery pot with soil unless noted. Orders dispatch within 1–4 business days, shipped early in the week so plants don't sit over a weekend in transit.
During cold months, orders shipping to colder areas are automatically sent with a heat pack to help protect against cold damage, and we may hold delivery to areas below 45°F until temperatures are safe to ship — which in winter can mean a delay. We back every plant with a 48-hour live-arrival guarantee — contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos if there's an issue.
Each plant is unique: exact size, shape, leaf count and variegation will vary from the photos shown.
