For larger orders, (quantity, size, and cost) this amount will change. Please be aware that due to Covid restrictions, we cannot guarantee a timely delivery.

How do you pack your plants?

We pack our plants bare root unless specified by the customer. Our packing method allows complete protection and ensure our plants arrive to you in pristine condition. If any plant does arrive damaged in anyway, lets us know, take a picture and send it to Jairo@ilovefatplants.com.  In many instances, we will trim/cut branches, leaves and flowers before delivery.

DISCLAIMER:  Please message us about handling (for example: more cushioning, clipping the leaves, branches, stalk, flowers etc.) so that the specimen will be intact when it arrives to your destination. ***We ship Monday through Wednesday***

During the winter months, or areas that experience extreme cold, we can pack using heat packs.

 What to do when my plant arrives? 

After unpacking the plant.  Place it in a pot with proper drainage, fill up the pot with succulent soil, water the pot.
