How to Ship Plants in Winter: Ensuring Your Live Plants Arrive Safe and Healthy

How to Ship Plants in Winter | Plant Boxx

Worried about shipping live plants in winter? You're not alone! Many plant lovers hesitate to order their favorite greenery during colder months, fearing the freezing temperatures might harm their new plant babies. At Plant Boxx, we specialize in shipping live plants safely, even in winter, and we're here to reassure you that your plants will arrive healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive.

Here’s how we do it—and why you can shop with confidence all year long.

1. Winter-Proof Packaging for Live Plants

The first step to safely shipping plants in the winter is proper packaging. We carefully wrap each plant in insulating materials like foam, newspaper, or bubble wrap to protect it from cold temperatures. Then, we pack them in sturdy, well-sealed boxes to ensure they stay secure during transit.

To provide an extra layer of security, every box is clearly marked with "Live Plants" so that handlers take extra care. This thoughtful approach helps prevent damage from rough handling or exposure to extreme temperatures.

2. Optional Heat Packs for Extra Warmth

One of the best ways to keep plants safe in transit during winter is by using heat packs. These handy little packs create a warm environment inside the box, protecting your plants from cold weather.

We highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order when shipping plants in winter. To make it easier for you, we offer these heat packs at a very affordable price—because we believe in going the extra mile to keep your plants healthy.

3. Timely and Reliable Shipping

Timing is everything when shipping live plants, especially in the winter. To ensure your plants spend as little time as possible in cold transit conditions, we advise placing your order early in the week to prevent any potential weekend delays.

4. Live Tracking and Delivery Updates

We know how important it is to stay informed about your order, especially in the winter when timing is critical. That’s why we provide real-time delivery updates so you know exactly when to expect your package.

Once your live plants arrive, we recommend bringing them inside immediately to protect them from the cold. Don’t forget to unbox them as soon as possible to let them acclimate to their new home!
