How We Ship Your Plants
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful! We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants!
Beware- not all plant nurseries are the same! Others can cut corners to save money:
- We never ship bareroot plants
- We never cut roots to fit into a small box
- We always ship plants with healthy, developed roots so they establish faster at your home
- We focus on plant health first- not minimizing shipping costs
A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, and we believe your plant should arrive ready to thrive- not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
How we Select Your Plants
Once you place your order, our nursery team selects your plant and inspects it to make sure it meets our quality standards. Every plant we ship is chosen for:
- Strong health and vibrant foliage
- A well-developed root system
- Correct sizing based on your order
We take pride in sending plants that are ready to succeed when they arrive at your home. We try our best to exceed your expectations!
Once your plants are selected, we give them a drink of water before their journey. Then, we wrap each plant's roots up in a plastic bag, so that they do not dry out during shipping.
Carefully Packed & Protected
Live plants can’t be packed like ordinary boxes, so we do it differently.
Your plant is carefully secured inside a strong shipping box to protect it while traveling. Packaging may include:
- Support materials for stability
- Protection around the pot and roots
- Reinforced boxing for added protection
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of your plant during shipping.
Sometimes, you will receive multiple plants inside a box. This is helpful because it can evenly distribute the weight throughout the box, which helps keeps the plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Fast & Reliable with FedEx
Most Nationwide Plants orders ship with FedEx. Over the years, we’ve found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items, because:
- They deliver quickest across the country
- They are the most gentle with live plants
- Faster transit means less plant stress
Once your order ships, we will email you tracking information so you can follow your delivery from our nursery to your doorstep.
We ship Monday through Friday. Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom shipping date.
Multiple Nursery Locations
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This allows us to:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How We Measure Your Trees
We measure tree height from the soil line, not including the pot.
That means when you order a 5-6 ft. tree, you’re getting a tree that is 5-6 ft. tall above the soil, not “including the container.” This gives you a good idea of what to expect when your trees arrive, and what they will look like when they are in the ground.
After Your Plants Arrive
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after shipping. Your plant has been traveling in a box, so you may notice:
- Minor leaf drop
- Soil that shifted slightly in the pot
- Temporary drooping from being in a darker environment
In most cases, your plant perks up quickly once it’s unboxed, watered (if needed), and placed in the proper environment.
Unboxing Your Plants
When your plants arrive, we recommend:
-
Open carefully (avoid cutting into foliage)
-
Remove all packing materials
-
Check soil moisture (If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering)
-
Let the plant recover (Give it a little fresh air after shipping)
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re happy to help!
Our 30-Day Plant Promise
We stand behind every order we ship with our 30-Day Plant Promise.
If your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it or refund it. We’ve found that if there are ever issues, they typically show up in the first 30 days- so this guarantee gives our customers real peace of mind.
If anything doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship bare-root plants?
No. We ship in soil with an established root system for the best success after delivery.
How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom ship date.
Will my plant survive shipping?
Yes. Plants are resilient when packed correctly and shipped quickly. Our process is designed to protect your plant throughout transit.
What if my plant arrives droopy?
This is usually temporary from being in a dark box. Unbox promptly, check moisture, and allow time to adjust. If you’re concerned, reach out—we’re here to help.

Calathea Roseopicta ‘Medallion’ – The Classic, Boldly Patterned Beauty
If you’re looking for a houseplant that’s both dramatic and elegant, Calathea Roseopicta ‘Medallion’ is a perfect choice. Known for its stunning, round leaves with intricate patterns, ‘Medallion’ is one of the most recognizable and beloved Calatheas. Its deep green leaves are decorated with silvery-green brushstroke-like markings, and when they flip upward at night, they reveal a rich burgundy underside.
This plant isn’t just about looks—it also brings life and movement into your home. As part of the prayer plant family, ‘Medallion’ moves throughout the day, responding to light by opening and closing its leaves. Add in its air-purifying qualities and pet-friendly nature, and you’ve got a houseplant that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
What Makes Calathea ‘Medallion’ Special?
1. Iconic, Eye-Catching Foliage
The leaves of ‘Medallion’ look like they’ve been hand-painted. The deep green background is contrasted by lighter, feathery silver-green patterns that radiate from the center. This plant grabs attention, making it a stunning centerpiece in any plant collection.
2. Striking Two-Tone Color
One of the best surprises about ‘Medallion’ is its bold burgundy underside. During the day, you mostly see its variegated green surface, but at night, when the leaves fold upward, you get a glimpse of the rich, wine-colored back. This daily movement adds an interactive element to your plant collection.
3. Moves with the Light
Like all Calatheas, ‘Medallion’ is a prayer plant—meaning its leaves move throughout the day. In the morning, they open wide to soak in light, and in the evening, they fold upward. This makes it feel like a truly living part of your space.
4. Thrives in Low to Medium Light
Not every vibrant houseplant can tolerate lower light, but ‘Medallion’ does. It prefers medium to low-indirect light, making it a great option for bedrooms, offices, or anywhere that doesn’t get direct sun.
5. Air-Purifying and Pet-Friendly
Like other Calatheas, ‘Medallion’ helps filter indoor air, improving air quality while adding beauty. It’s also non-toxic to pets, making it a worry-free choice if you have cats or dogs in your home.
Where to Place It in Your Home
- Living Room or Coffee Table – ‘Medallion’ is a natural focal point, perfect for brightening up a central space.
- Bedroom – Since it thrives in medium to low light and has a calming presence, it’s a great choice for a cozy bedroom setup.
- Office or Desk Area – The daily movement of the leaves makes this an engaging plant to have near your workspace.
- Bathroom – If your bathroom has a window, ‘Medallion’ will love the extra humidity and add a spa-like feel.

- Bohemian (Boho) Chic - ‘Medallion’ fits right into a boho-inspired space, surrounded by woven textures, warm earth tones, and layered greenery.
- Art Deco Glam - With its dramatic contrast of deep green and burgundy, ‘Medallion’ pairs well with gold accents, geometric patterns, and jewel tones often seen in Art Deco interiors.
- Tropical Retreat - Mix ‘Medallion’ with Monstera, Philodendrons, and Palms for a lush, jungle-inspired indoor garden.
- Eclectic & Vintage - For those who love mixing patterns, textures, and antique pieces, ‘Medallion’ brings a touch of nature’s artistry into an eclectic setting.
