Houseplant Information
Houseplant Information
Your houseplant will come in a black plastic nursery pot. It will have holes at the bottom of the pot to allow for proper drainage when watered. We recommend changing the pot when your plant arrives if you plan to grow your plant indoors.
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.

Brighten Your Home with the Vibrant and Charming Pink Nerve Plant!
Botanical name: Fittonia albivenis 'Pink'
Common Names: Pink Nerve Plant
The Pink Nerve Plant (Fittonia albivenis 'Pink') is a vibrant, tropical beauty that brings a burst of color and texture to any indoor space. Known for its eye-catching, pink-veined leaves set against lush green foliage, this plant is a showstopper. Compact and low-growing, it’s perfect for terrariums, desks, and shelves, adding a pop of color to brighten your home or workspace. Its striking appearance and easy-care nature make it a favorite for plant enthusiasts and beginners alike.
What Makes the Pink Nerve Plant Special?
The Pink Nerve Plant stands out from other houseplants because of its uniquely patterned leaves featuring soft pink veins that run through rich, deep green leaves. While other Fittonia varieties showcase white or red veins, the pink version offers a softer yet bold alternative, making it a great choice for adding warmth and a touch of tropical charm to your space.
Its small, spreading growth habit allows it to thrive in tight spaces, such as terrariums or compact plant displays. This variety is particularly loved for its ability to create a natural, lush look while bringing a cheerful splash of color. Occasionally, small white or off-white flowers may bloom at the stem tips, adding an extra layer of charm.
Interesting Facts About the Pink Nerve Plant
- Rainforest Origins: This variety, like others in the Fittonia family, originates from the humid tropical rainforests of South America, where it thrives as a ground cover in shaded, damp areas.
- Humidity Enthusiast: The Pink Nerve Plant is perfectly adapted to high-humidity environments, making it ideal for terrariums or spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Compact Growth: Its petite size and low-growing nature make it a great addition to terrariums, windowsills, or as part of a mixed arrangement.
- Color Variety: The pink veins create a soothing yet playful aesthetic, offering a distinct look compared to the more common white-veined Fittonia varieties.
Benefits of the Pink Nerve Plant
- Adds a Pop of Color: The pink veins provide a beautiful accent, perfect for brightening up neutral or minimal decor.
- Terrarium Favorite: Its love for humidity and compact size make it an excellent choice for terrariums or small tabletop gardens.
- Non-Toxic and Family-Friendly: Safe for kids and pets, it’s an ideal option for homes with little ones or furry friends.
- Great for Small Spaces: Its petite size makes it perfect for tight corners, small shelves, or tiny plant arrangements.
- Stress-Free Care: Despite its tropical look, the Pink Nerve Plant is low-maintenance and thrives with minimal effort.
Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch its delicate leaves.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and don’t let it sit in standing water.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist frequently or use a humidifier to mimic its rainforest origins.
- Temperature: Does best in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect it from drafts and extreme temperature changes.
