Your plant ships in a biodegradable pot that is made of composted materials. These biodegradable pots provide many benefits to plants and help reduce the use of plastic.
When you receive your plant, place the biodegradable pot directly into a pot of your choice, and cover up the biodegradable pot with soil. There’s no transplant shock, and the roots grow through the biodegradable pot. Over time the pot will decompose, leaving the soil richer in nutrients.
