THIS PLANT PREFERS WELL DRAINED BUT MOIST SOIL

If you have questions - Please ask -
I do not want any confusion or misunderstanding. 

We ship live plants daily. They ship Priority Mail only!!!! If we are shipping to areas that are still having freezing temps then I suggest you have us Ship Priority and have us mark to hold at post office for pick up. So they do not freeze waiting for you to come home from work... You are responsible for this as we expect otherwise you will be home to receive items.
Once you receive them pot up in nice loose soil that holds moisture. But good Drainage... Water thoroughly, and place in bright area - not full sun... (you can slowly move them to full sun over about a  1 - 2 week period). Water regularly, once plants start to grow then you can fertilize lightly with 10-10-10 liquid.

PLANTS WILL BE STRESSED SOME FROM THE TRAVEL.
A LITTLE LOVE AND THEY WILL BE JUST FINE!!

This plant likes to eat... So once established... Fertilize often and keep moist - Do not over water.  

 

WE WILL HAVE PLUGS AND CUTTINGS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BASED ON THE SEASON

If you have any questions please ask.

Shipping Info... We do utilize flat rate boxes... so we do invoice shipping based on them... keep in mind the cost for shipping flat rate boxes might be a tiny bit more than paying at the post office as we have fees attributed to shipping also.

We do ship most economical size package - HOWEVER!!!

I am offering a few different shipping options that you will notice... We are now offering "Hotel Shipping" If you want a larger box than we feel necessary then please choose the higher shipping option... Its always the "1" person that feels they need to have the stuff shipped in a Cadillac... So if you feel you need more room in the box please choose the higher shipping option at check out... If you are asking for combined shipping we will now offer 2 - 3 shipping options for you to choose for this same reason... Sorry, but I am offering this for those that prefer to pay more for shipping.

Shipping in USA;

This item ships USPS Priority Mail - IF YOU WILL NOT BE AT HOME TO RECEIVE PLANTS / CUTTINGS THEN I SUGGEST YOU CHOOSE PRIORITY and send us a note to HOLD FOR PICK UP - (They will hold at your Post Office) OR HAVE THEM SHIPPED SO THEY CAN BE PICKED UP... DON'T LEAVE THEM IN YOUR MAILBOX TIL YOU COME HOME SO THEY FREEZE... THEY WILL DIE!!!! THESE PLANTS LEAVE OUR NURSERY HEALTHY

Combined Shipping = Yes, we do combined shipping... NO ONE wants to pay for shipping but unfortunately its a cost that needs to be factored in...For some reason some people have trouble sending a message for me to combine shipping so here is my suggestion...
When you put items in your shopping cart it seems you are unable to ask for combined shipping... You need to "Commit to Buy" and then you can ask.... or you can just pay for your items and then send me a note to do one of 2 things.
Send a note to ask us to refund the difference back to your card.... or have us throw in EXTRA plants... If we do extra plants then you will usually get a little more value on your plants than your refund amount....
If its a small amount and we do not hear from you then we will just add extra plants... SO IF YOU WANT THE REFUND INSTEAD OF THE EXTRA PLANTS THEN YOU NEED TO TELL US!!

Hope this helps... Usually the more plants you get the better % of shipping per plant. We will help were we can.

Thanks,
Joe


YOU WILL RECEIVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS (below) IN YOUR PACKAGE FOR PLANT CARE... YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR CONTAINERS, GOOD DRAINAGE SOIL, FUNGICIDE... READY WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR PLANTS

THE FUNGICIDE IS VERY IMPORTANT - IT IS A PRACTICE USED IN ALL COMMERCIAL GREENHOUSES... SO USE IT YOURSELF


Thank you for your purchase… here is a quick little note for some tips for a good healthy start to your plants….

PLEASE NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIPMENT.. Including sending photos if need

We have no control on how our customers take care of the plants...  I cannot do anything for you if you delay in letting me know there is a problem... We will not send unhealthy plants...

Your plants just traveled a long way and were cooped up, wrapped in plastic and paper….  They do not really like that…

Think of them as live animal in a box... you would not leave the animal in there... take them out right away and get them some fresh air 

To ensure strong healthy plants…. We suggest to spray the plants with a fungicide (plant disease control) as its almost guarantee that with the cooped up box they were in they will have developed a fungus issue – that includes black spots on the leaves or the possibility of them rotting at the base (it may not show right away) and the plant just dies for no apparent reason…

Pot your plants in a good well drained plant medium or if they are large enough you can install them in the ground…  

MAKE SURE YOU WATER THEM

After 2 – 4 days you can water the plants with ½ strength fertilizer every time you water if you desire…

DO NOT FERTILIZE WHEN YOU FIRST GET THEM – fertilize plants also fertilizes the fungus if its there and it will spread faster… give it a few days for the fungicide spraying to take effect…. Be sure to spray the base were they meet the soil very good

It's always good practice to use  fungicide treatment every  14 – 21 days to help keep your plants happy and healthy.

I hope this helps you grow these plants to look beautiful.

Thanks again for shopping with us… Joes Crazy plants & Farmer Joe plants

Update 10/4/2016 - Seems to be some confusion... 
ALL OUR PLANTS SHIP WITH OUT THE POTS unless it specifically tells you to ignore the part that comes with out the pot... 
We ONLY ship the following plants in pots = Hanging Baskets / Planters, 
3 Gal potted plants 
some 6" potted plants & Some 8" potted plants 
The smaller plants do not ship in pots because;
1 = We can fit more in a box without the pots. = The lowest shipping fees 
2 = We find that the plant do not get damaged as much since there is not hard plastic in the box to damage the leaves of neighboring plants in the box. 
3 = If you want the pot = Some times its possible for us to ship with pots but we will have to adjust your shipping costs for this and YOU WILL NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE PRIOR TO PURCHASE stating you want the pot and ask us for shipping cost for your plant(s)
4= Many plants grow in trays and pot size is measurement of the cell - We use wording of potted plant because many times we have more than 1 plant in a pot and if i call it 2 plants and the pot comes with 2 plants then many think they get - lets say 1 pot - 
we sell our plants as a pot size with 1 to multiple plants in a pot = Depending on the plants. It is specified in the listing... 
We are forced to add the info to the listings as it is up to you to read and understand what you are getting... IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION. THEN YOU NEED TO ASK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. 
It will not be long before we will need to hire and Attorney to add fine print to the listings as I TRY so hard to be VERY clear... and it really irks me when someone is mad because the plants do not arrive in a pot... 
The pots are JUNK - commercial pots VERY thin for economy and most times damaged anyway..  Most times plants are in need of the next size pot or planted in the ground also...  
We wrap the root ball(s) in Cellophane to act as the pot for travel...... We ship a lot of plants and are a small company... We can not afford damage so we do everything we can for you to make sure your plants arrive safe so you & we do not have issues

I do not want any more cases open or neg feedback because the plant arrived not in pot 



If you are ordering this item and its going to be traveling thru areas of extreme cold. We offer heat packs that will hold temp up for up to 72 hours... These packs are 5.99 ea = That includes the add'l shipping costs that will In-cure because of the added weight. We usually do not have a problem with items that travel during winter unless someone is not home to receive the package... However if the item freezes during travel and you do not request a heat pack.... We can not guarantee it arrives safely. Again We usually do not have a problem with shipping but this is your call... If you want a heat pack = then you must notify us on a SEPARATE message to invoice you for one... 
Many plants will need more than one heat pack.
