When your plant arrives
Your first 24 hours
Every plant ships bareroot and wrapped in moss. Here is exactly what to do when it lands on your doorstep.
01
Open carefully
Unbox gently. Don't panic if a leaf or two dropped during transit — that's normal. The plant is tougher than it looks.
02
Unwrap the moss
Remove the moss wrap from the roots. Give the roots a gentle rinse if needed. Check for firmness — healthy roots feel solid, not mushy.
03
Pot it up
Use a well-draining aroid mix. Plant at the same depth it was growing. Don't pack the soil tight.
04
Rest and recover
Place in bright indirect light. Water lightly. Give it 1-2 weeks to adjust. Plants need time to settle.
After transit
What is normal vs. what is not
Plants go through shipping stress. Here is how to read what you are seeing.
Normal - no action needed
Loose soil or shifted root
Gently press soil back in place. Let it stabilize for a week first.
Normal - no action needed
Droopy or soft leaves
Place in bright indirect light and give it a few days. It will perk back up on its own.
Normal - no action needed
Slight yellowing
A leaf or two may yellow from shipping stress. Remove the leaf and monitor. New growth is what matters.
Watch · Watch Closely
No new growth after 3 weeks
Try moving it closer to a window. Most aroids need 6+ hours of bright indirect light daily.
Watch · Watch closely
Multiple yellowing leaves
Check your watering. Let soil dry out between waterings and make sure your pot drains.
