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.

Premium Potting Mix: The Best Foundation for Your Houseplants and Container Gardens
Whether you're caring for lush indoor houseplants or growing vibrant flowers, fruits, and herbs in outdoor containers, the right soil makes all the difference. Our Premium Potting Mix is specially formulated to support healthy roots, balanced moisture, and long-lasting plant vitality, giving your plants everything they need to thrive.
What’s Inside Our Premium Potting Mix?
Our potting mix is carefully blended with high-quality, plant-boosting ingredients to create the perfect environment for healthy roots, vibrant foliage, and steady growth. Each component is chosen to support moisture balance, aeration, and long-term nutrient availability, making it an excellent choice for both houseplants and container gardens.
- Coconut Coir – A natural, sustainable alternative to peat that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain, preventing soggy roots.
- Aged Pine Bark – Improves aeration and structure, keeping soil light and breathable so roots can spread easily.
- Rice Hulls – A renewable ingredient that adds extra drainage and helps prevent soil compaction over time.
- Compost – Packed with organic matter and beneficial microbes, supporting strong plant development and long-term soil health.
- Earthworm Castings – A natural soil enhancer rich in essential nutrients and beneficial microbes for stronger, more resilient plants.
This well-balanced blend ensures your plants get the right mix of moisture, nutrients, and airflow—so they grow beautifully with less effort on your part!
Size & Coverage
Bag Size: 6 Quarts (1.5 Gallons / 5.7 Liters)
Fills Approximately:
- One 10-12 inch pot (depending on depth)
- About one-third of a standard 5-gallon bucket
- Several 6-inch pots for smaller plants
Perfect for repotting houseplants, refreshing container soil, or starting a small indoor or outdoor container garden.
Why This Potting Mix Stands Out
- Balanced Nutrition for Strong Growth – A blend of coconut coir, aged pine bark, rice hulls, compost, and earthworm castings provides essential nutrients for healthy, vigorous plants.
- Ideal Moisture Retention – Holds just the right amount of water to keep soil evenly moist while preventing root rot, so you won’t have to worry about over- or under-watering.
- Superior Drainage & Aeration – Light, airy texture encourages healthy root development, reducing compaction and allowing roots to breathe and expand freely.
- Perfect for Both Indoor & Outdoor Containers – Whether you’re potting up houseplants, patio flowers, or even small fruiting plants, this mix gives them a strong, stable foundation.
Easy to Use, Reliable for All Plant Lovers
Just fill your pots or containers, add your plants, water as needed, and enjoy stronger, healthier growth. No need to mix or amend—this blend is ready to use and designed to make plant care simpler and more successful for beginners and experienced growers alike.
