Can I grow these at home?

Like many people, you might believe that you can’t grow Hawaiian plants outside of Hawaii, fearing that your local climate is simply too different to support them.

This misconception can be disheartening, and could cause you to miss out on the beauty and unique pleasures Hawaiian plants offer.

The good news is that many Hawaiian plants are adaptable and can thrive indoors, even when the weather outside is frightful. We know that investing in a tropical plant can feel like a leap of faith, especially when you're not sure if it will survive the journey to your home. That's where our expertise comes in. With decades of experience in shipping Hawaiian plants across the country, we've perfected the art of packaging and transporting plants to ensure they arrive at your doorstep happy, healthy, and ready to flourish for you! And our commitment to your success doesn't end there – we provide support and guidance to help you confidently care for your new tropical companion, ensuring it thrives in its new home.

So why settle for a mere houseplant when you can have a piece of paradise? Bring the magic of Hawaii into your home with our exceptional tropical plants, and experience the transformative power of living with aloha!

    Aloha from Cape Cod! Thank you very much for talking to me, so kind, and I learned so much! These are my 6 month- 1 year old plumerias, they are watered once a week and have a grow light on them and are usually kept around 70 degrees (or hotter in the summer)...I love them, they truly bring joy to me. Thank you for doing what you do, so people like me can have their dream plants.

How it Works

Step 1 - You Order

A secure shopping cart makes ordering fast and easy! Your card is charged upon ordering.

Step 2 - We Do the Hard Work

There’s a few steps involved in getting your order from our farm to your door. Depending on when you order, processing can take a few days:

1. We hand select your plant from our 10-acre farm. This is done throughout the week as orders arrive.

2. Your plants are packaged.

3. Each weekend, we box up the orders from the week and ready them for shipping. This isn't easy because plants shouldn't be boxed up too soon, otherwise they suffer needlessly. Each plant is hand wrapped. It's a manual, custom job each time.

When your order is ready to ship, you will get an email with your tracking number.

4. Orders are shipped out each Monday via FedEx 2nd day service. Because of this, please provide a street address. Using a P.O. Box might delay your order.

You Unpack and Grow Your Plants

We recommend that someone be home to take delivery of your plants and bring them inside. Having your plants sit outside your door for any length of time subjects them to porch theives and the elements.

As you carefully unbox your plants, take note of the simple growing instructions found on the product card.

Keep in mind that your plants have been on a rough journey on their way to you. Allow about a week before you consider repotting or planting them. Doing this too soon will shock your plant.

FAQ’s

  • Sorry, but no. We are primarily wholesale growers and as such, we have no brick and mortar store, and our nursery is not open to the public.

  • We ship to all 50 states of the USA only.

    No shipments to USVI, Guam or Puerto Rico. Also, no shipments to other countries. We love you guys, but shipping times, high costs and red tape make it too difficult.

  • All orders ship for just $25, anywhere in the USA*

    • *Additional charges apply if using a Signature Confirmation option or shipping to Alaska.

  • This isn't something we offer. Turnaround isn't instant because it takes a few days to fulfill your order.

    Additionally, remember that flights from Hawaii to the US Mainland or Alaska fly Eastward. That means the shipment fights the clock with both the travel time and the time change.

    In other words, overnight turnaround and shipping from Hawaii to you is not possible.

  • Absolutely, within bounds of reason of course.

    If you need delivery to happen within a certain timeframe, let us know. When you checkout, look for the box that asks for additional information. You can tell us there. If you miss it, just use the "Click Here to Send Us a Message" button found below.

  • Your card is charged at the time of your order. In the order confirmation email, you'll note that you need to allow up to 5 business days for us to ready your order for shipment.

    • Business days do not include weekends or holidays.

    Please allow us the time to get your order ready. Once it's packed, you'll automatically get an email that includes your tracking number.

  • If your order seems to be delayed:

    • Check the tracking number and see if there is an issue with FedEx. Weather delays, global pandemic or other forces beyond our control may be the culprit. Give it an extra day or two and see if the delivery comes.

    If your order was mis-delivered:

    • e.g. FedEx says it was delivered but it's not there, please check with your neighbors etc. and if that yields no results, send us a note by clicking on the button below that says "Click here to send us a message".

    If your order arrived damaged:

    • Please take pictures and contact us right away. Our full contact information is printed on your packing slip. Or, as in the case above, send us a message.

  • If you buy our plants at retail outlets here in Hawaii and take your plants with you in your carry on, you might be successful in importing them.

    Some of our customers have successfully brought our plants into countries in Europe (GB, Poland, France, Germany), Asia (China and Japan), at least one in Africa (Egypt) and Canada, so we know it's possible. On the flip side, each country has its own regulations and regulators. We've heard of our plants being quarantined or even confiscated by officials. Some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, won't let any Hawaiian plants in, period.

    TLDR: If you buy plants here in Hawaii and intend to bring them into a country other than the USA, you may succeed, or you may not. It'll be at your own risk.

  • Please, have a look at what we offer by browsing the "Shop" on our website. If it's not listed there, then it's not something we sell.

    We are not florists, so we cannot help you with cut flowers, bouquets, wreaths or ti leaves to wrap your lau lau. Sorry.

  • Yes, we do! We always do our best to protect your precious Hawaiian plants when shipping them to you. However, even the best packaging cannot fully protect your plants from cold temperatures so please consider the risks when you order.

    Even if the weather is seasonable where you are, your shipment is likely to be routed through a transport hub located in a city with a cold climate.

  • We sincerely apologize for your experience. Fortunately, this is not a common occurrence.

    Plants are living organisms, and the process of being packaged and transported to a new environment can be quite stressful for them. Whether you purchased your plants in-store or ordered them online, transportation can lead to your plants wilting, drooping, or generally looking sad. If you immediately plant them in new containers, this can further contribute to their shock. Often, all a plant needs is a little extra care and attention, so our primary advice is to remain calm, leave them in their pots and allow them to acclimate for at least a week, preferably two, before planting or repotting them.

    Also, see our blog post that lists several things you can do to help your plant recover. Read it by clicking here:

    Occasionally, despite your best efforts though, a plant may not survive. If this happens, please contact us by clicking the "Click here to send us a message" button below.

    Although our official policy states that all sales are final and we do not guarantee plant growth due to the many variables involved, we are generally willing to assist you. If you contact us, we will assess your situation on a case-by-case basis to see how we can help.

    Please feel free to reach out with any questions. If you purchased your plant online, kindly provide your order number. If you bought it in Hawaii, let us know the location and date of your purchase, and we will respond with guidance on the next steps.
