NOTE: For the live plant orders we ship on Monday – Wed only to prevent the live plants from sitting over the weekend before delivery. Orders must be received by noon EST on Wed to be shipped that week. After that time, it will be shipped the following week.

At wintertime we offer 72 hours heat pack, if you live in colder states, we suggest adding a heat pack to your order.

Shipping notes: Because your plant has been in a box without sunlight for a few days in shipping, it might decide to yellow and drop a few leaves when it first arrives. This is normal. (If it loses all leaves, this is not normal, and you should contact us.) Adjust your plant to the light very slowly, don’t put it in the bright sun right away, wait for about 5 days.

AVOCADO – Persea americana

Avocados are well-known as houseplants.

Avocado trees are fast-growing bushy plants that can live outdoors after signs of frost are gone in the spring. Protect the trees from sun scald by keeping them out of direct sunlight for the first several days. Gradually move them into the direct sun after that.

GROWING CONDITIONS:

Light:  Full sun year-round.

Soil:  Well-drained peat-based potting mix;

Minimum indoor temperature:  35*F (2*C)

Hardiness outdoors:  Zone 9B; can withstand temperatures as cold as 18*F (-8*C) for short durations (cold hardiness varieties as ‘Day’, ‘Brogdon’, ‘Mexicola’).

CARE: How to Grow An Avocado From Seed?

Fertilizing:  Moderate feeder. Use a balanced fertilizer; stop in late summer so the wood hardens off.

Plant origin: North Florida

Can be used as a house/patio plant.

********* Cold Weather Shipping **********

If the temperature in your region is below freezing, please don’t order live plants and wait for better weather. When the winter begins, we start using USPS Priority Mail for all standard shipping because the priority mail travels mostly by air, and the post office never leaves its packages in trucks outside overnight.  Between careful monitoring of the weather and the priority mail service, we have had very good success.  However, sometimes packages do freeze… please contact us immediately if you have a problem. When the day-time temperature falls close to freezing in your state we can no longer ship safely using priority mail.
