Review the product description for species-specific light, watering, and placement notes. Most live plants do best with bright appropriate light, consistent watering, and protection from extreme temperatures after delivery.
L&J Nursery packs live plants carefully for shipment. Open your package promptly, check soil moisture, and acclimate the plant gradually to its new home. Some plants may be restricted by state agricultural rules.
Use the product title, photos, description, and collection links to confirm the plant type, pot size, and best use. If a listing does not answer a care or shipping question, contact L&J Nursery before ordering.
