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.

String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii): The Cascading Beauty with a Romantic Touch
The String of Hearts isn’t just a houseplant—it’s a statement. With its delicate heart-shaped leaves cascading down in long, trailing vines, this plant is made for those who appreciate beauty with an effortless touch. Whether you’re hanging it in a sunny window, draping it over a bookshelf, or letting it spill over the edge of a tall planter, the String of Hearts will always command attention in the most subtle, elegant way.
What Makes the String of Hearts Special?
Effortless Beauty & Easy Care Enjoy the elegance of trailing greenery without the constant upkeep. The String of Hearts grows quickly yet remains remarkably low-maintenance, thriving with minimal watering and bright indirect sunlight. Perfect for busy plant lovers who crave lush greenery without the hassle.
Resilient & Drought-Friendly Despite its delicate, charming look, the String of Hearts is surprisingly resilient. Its semi-succulent, heart-shaped leaves store water efficiently, allowing the plant to handle occasional neglect gracefully—ideal for those new to plant care or with busy lifestyles.
Stunning, One-of-a-Kind Foliage Each vine boasts uniquely patterned, heart-shaped leaves with captivating silver marbling on deep green surfaces. The undersides vary from soft lavender to vibrant magenta, creating a striking, pearl-like appearance. No two plants look exactly alike, bringing authentic charm to any space.
Ideal for Hanging Displays The String of Hearts shines in hanging baskets or on elevated shelves, effortlessly cascading several feet with delicate vines. It's the perfect plant to enhance your decor, providing a natural, bohemian aesthetic that's both trendy and timeless.
Enchanting Blooms While its leaves often take center stage, the plant also produces charming, lantern-shaped flowers. These whimsical, tubular blossoms appear in soft shades of pink or purple, adding a quirky and delightful detail to your indoor garden.
Where Should You Place Your String of Hearts?
- Bright, Indirect Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can even handle a few hours of direct sun each day. A south- or west-facing window is ideal.
- Trailing Over Bookshelves or Cabinets: Let the vines spill over the edge of a high shelf for a cascading effect.
- In a Hanging Basket: A perfect choice for small spaces where you want to maximize vertical greenery.
- As a Tabletop Accent: If you prefer a shorter plant, you can let it grow in a small pot and trim the vines occasionally to maintain a compact look.
Is the String of Hearts Pet-Friendly?
Good news—it’s non-toxic to pets! If you have curious cats or dogs, you don’t need to worry about them nibbling on this plant.
Why Choose String of Hearts Over Other Trailing Plants?
- More Drought-Tolerant than pothos or philodendron.
- Lighter & Airier than string of pearls, with a softer cascading effect.
- Unique Heart-Shaped Leaves add a romantic, whimsical touch.
- Easier to Propagate than many other vining plants, making it perfect for sharing with friends.
