Potted Plant Shop
5 Results
Plant delivery sends a living potted plant to someone's door instead of cut flowers. Every plant in this collection arrives already potted, packed in a box, and shipped to the lower 48 — the same way our flowers travel. A plant is a different kind of gift than a bouquet. A bouquet is a moment. A plant is a small ongoing relationship.
Send Potted Plants to Doorsteps Nationwide
A potted plant is the gift that stays. Every plant in this collection ships already potted in a paired vessel for easy watering and drainage, so there's no repotting, no arranging, and nothing to figure out on arrival. Select plants come dressed in a woven basket for a little extra occasion. Think flowering anthurium, phalaenopsis orchids, and peace lilies: living gifts for a housewarming, a thank you, a congratulations, or just because.
How Our Plants Ship
Plants travel the way our flowers do: boxed, cushioned, and sent by carrier. That means they reach every one of the lower 48 states rather than a handful of cities. Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico are outside our shipping range.
The pot comes with the plant, always. There's no separate vessel to buy and no repotting waiting for you on the other end — it turns up planted and ready to put down somewhere.
Unboxing: The First Week Matters Most
A plant that has spent a couple of days in a dark box is not a plant in trouble; it's a plant that has been on a trip. Open the box the day it lands, take the plant out, and give it somewhere with indirect light. Skip the fertiliser, skip the repotting, and resist the urge to fix anything for a week or two.
Some leaf droop in the first few days is normal and usually resolves once the plant has light and a drink. What causes real trouble is overcorrecting — watering a plant that isn't dry, or moving it three times in a week looking for the perfect spot.
Plant Care, Briefly
Care specifics vary by plant, and the plant you receive comes with its own guidance. Three things matter across almost all of them:
Light
Most indoor plants want bright, indirect light — near a window, not pressed against the glass. Direct midday sun scorches more houseplants than it helps.
Water
Check the soil before you reach for the watering can. If the top inch is still damp, wait. More houseplants die of enthusiasm than of neglect.
Drainage
Water needs somewhere to go. Empty the saucer after watering rather than letting the pot stand in it, because roots sitting in water is the fastest route to root rot.
For fuller instructions, including guidance specific to what you've ordered, our plant care guide goes considerably deeper than three paragraphs.
Why Send a Potted Plant?
A potted plant is a gift with a long memory. Most houseplants ask only for decent light and occasional watering (how occasional depends on the plant), and they keep growing long after the occasion has passed. That makes them the right call for the friend who loves greenery, the coworker whose desk could use some life, or anyone who'd appreciate a gift that's still thriving next year. And if fresh-cut is more their speed, our burlap-wrapped bouquets are the classic for a reason.
Sending a Plant as a Gift
Plants make good gifts for the occasions where the gesture ought to outlast the week. A new house. A new office. A new baby, when the household has quite enough perishable things to keep alive already. A recovery that's going to take a while.
They're also a genuinely easier gift to get right than most. There's no size to guess at and no preference to accidentally offend. If you're worried about sending someone a chore, the honest read is that a forgiving plant in decent light asks less of a person than a vase of cut flowers does.
Sending to a Home With Pets?
No plant or flower is guaranteed safe for pets, so if your recipient has a curious cat or dog, it's always smart to keep greenery out of reach. That said, some varieties are a much better bet than others: our Pet Friendly collection gathers the flowers and plants generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. When in doubt, check with a veterinarian before introducing a new plant to a pet household.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send plants as a gift online?
Yes. Choose a plant, enter your recipient's address at checkout, and we'll ship it directly to them. Plants arrive already potted and boxed for travel, and you can pick your delivery date from the calendar shown on each product page.
Do the plants arrive already potted?
Yes. Every plant in the Plant Shop arrives already planted in its pot, and the pot is included in the price. There's nothing to repot and no separate container to buy, so it can go straight onto a shelf or table when it arrives.
How are plants shipped?
Plants ship in a box by carrier, the same way our flower arrangements travel, rather than by local courier. They're cushioned so the pot stays put in transit. Open the box on the day it arrives and move the plant somewhere with bright, indirect light.
What kind of plant should I send as a gift?
For most recipients, a forgiving plant is the better gift than an impressive one. Look for something that tolerates indirect light and an irregular watering schedule, since those two things account for nearly every houseplant that struggles. Our collection rotates, so check what's available now.
Low-maintenance houseplants make the best gifts: phalaenopsis orchids, peace lilies, and flowering anthurium all forgive an imperfect watering schedule and keep their looks for months.
What does gifting a plant symbolize?
A plant gift traditionally symbolizes growth, renewal, and lasting friendship, which is why plants suit housewarmings, congratulations, and thank-yous. It's a gift that keeps growing after the moment passes.
Are your plants pet-friendly?
No plant or flower is guaranteed safe for pets, so always keep new greenery out of reach of curious cats and dogs. Our Pet Friendly collection gathers the varieties generally considered non-toxic to pets, and when in doubt, check with a veterinarian.
