When you receive your new Anthurium, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to keep your plant standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Anthurium.
Before leaving, Black Velvet Anthurium plants are inspected, watered, and pruned. Larger plants, generally those that ship in 8″ pots or with totems, will be topped to 36″ or 48″ overall, depending on the variety, if necessary to facilitate shipping. Your new plants’ pot is then bagged to ensure that the soil stays in the pot and not loose in the box. Plants are tissue or kraft paper wrapped and secured in place with natural biodegradable peanuts.

Shipping Info.
Policy Update
All sales are now final as we are unable to accept returns/exchanges, in an effort to protect our health and the business.
At the current time we only ship to the lower 48 states. We do NOT ship to AK, HI, PR or internationally. Orders placed from these areas will be refunded and cancelled. Orders placed from the western regions in the US can have an extended delivery time up to 9 days, we strongly recommend selecting 2 day UPS or placing your order in early spring or late fall to avoid hot summer temps. In these regions you are accepting full responsibility for the shipment and understand the risks involved due to distance and temperatures. Western shipments are not guaranteed in the months of May-September.
**Please understand we are unable to constantly monitor the temperatures across the entire United States. If you know the temperatures in your area are not conducive to shipping plants enclosed in a box from Florida to your location, please wait until temperatures are more favorable. We do not guarantee plants due to extreme temperatures during shipping. All shipping rates include all shipping and handling fees.
**To better serve you, during certain times of the year, when heat and travel time may become an issue, we offer UPS 2 Day which may be considerably more expensive however safer for your shipment. Due to extended travel time and weather conditions we remove the UPS Ground options to some locations to prevent loss and heat damage.
**About delivery time: During checkout you will notice the shipping time states "once shipped" in days but our "delivery time" is stated in weeks. That is because, our nursery typically receives over 1-2 hundred orders a week with orders consisting of 1 to 20+ plants each, which adds up to around 1,000 plants per week to prepare and ship, when we are only able to properly ship around 125 or so orders per week. We are a nursery of two people doing all the maintenance, propagation, shipping and customer service, working eight days per week. We do not take any short cuts while packaging and each plant is handled and treated with the utmost care. When the orders in our shipping queue reach 300, we turn off the site checkout process until the shipping queue is down to a manageable 200 or less orders.
Example:
1. You order on the first of the month with 2 day shipping.
2. Shipping queue orders are at 2-4 weeks.
3. At week 2-4 your order is ready to ship.
4. You selected two day shipping, so your order will be to you in 2 days after UPS picks it up.

Sorry, no we don't. Most of the plants offered are very tropical and require temperatures above 40º at all times. On occasion some orders may be delayed if the weather conditions in your area warrant that the shipment be held. This helps to ensure the survival of your new plant. During the winter months when we are no longer shipping plants, our growers spend their time researching new species and new growing techniques to provide you with the most unique and superior species of plants available anywhere.
It varies. All plants for sale will vary in size. In the spring, plants are often smaller than plants shipped in the fall. Most plants designated with a sku ending in -4, -6 or -8 will arrive in a standard 4 inch, 6 inch or 8 inch round growers pot respectively. Our new, reusable, recyclable deep pots are 8 inches deep and 3x3 inches in diameter. Products growing in these pots are easy to transplant and allow for deeper, faster growth and are designated with a -t3, most of these are often come with a 36" totem. (Note: The item sku number can be found just below the buy button.) The color and style of these pots may vary. If we are out of a particular size item, we may ship a larger size at no additional charge. You can see the various pot sizes and actual plants ready to ship.

Yes. We not only trust UPS® with our plants. They are the exclusive shipper of our growers when it comes to plants, pots and accessories.
Presently we only ship inside the lower 48 states. With the current USDA regulations regarding shipment of live plants, our family of growers are restricted to and governed by the guidelines for certification within the lower 48 states only.

Your, plant should be fine. Occasionally transit damage will occur. If your plant arrives a bit shaken and stressed, simply follow your plants "Care & Culture" instructions and it should return to its full beauty and luster with in a few weeks.
Note: We do not warrant bent or broken leaves, it is only natural that some minor damage will occur. Certain plant varieties do not like to be shipped and can loose some or all of their leaves during transit, this is common and the plant is not dead, it is simply in shock and should bud within 30 days or so.
It depends on the extent of the damage. If your shipment arrives and the box is severely crushed or damaged, you can either refuse the shipment or place a "Claim" directly with UPS Ground for loss or damage at UPS.com. However, in doing this you must realize that if you have ordered an item that is in short supply or high demand, we can not guarantee a replacement.
