Rooted cuttings are always pictured in the listing.

Unrooted cuttings are one node by default, but they might be larger depending on market value, growth speed and availability.  If you would like exact photos for unrooted cuttings, please message me and I would be happy to send them to you. I don't cut them until the day of shipping so they are fresh and hydrated.

I ship USPS Monday and Saturday. UPS shipping is on Monday. UPS does not deliver to most residential addresses on Saturday and Sunday.

If you would like to customize this, please message me.

Cold weather shipping

Free insulation and heat pack is included if necessary.

For temperatures below freezing, please consider having your package held at your local post office for pickup. This helps prevent it from sitting in an unheated mail truck or on your porch all day.

We do not ship unrooted cuttings in the winter because they are weaker than rooted cuttings. 

We ship all winter, even below 32 degrees. We have not had one dead plant arrive because of the way we carefully package and insulate the plants. 

We have a live arrival guarantee. Read about the policy here.

Due to the nature of shipping plants, all sales are final. No exchanges, returns or refunds will be accepted.
