Is It Safe to Order Live Pepper Plants Online?

Worried about ordering live pepper plants online? You're not alone. Shipping a live plant through the mail seems like something that shouldn't work. Fears of receiving dead, damaged, or severely wilted plants are certainly understandable.

Whether you're having trouble growing pepper plants from seed, or just don't want to deal with all the equipment, care, and patience needed for seed germination – Pepper Joe's has you covered with a variety of pepper seedlings available for online ordering.

Here are the 5 main reasons you can feel confident in buying live pepper plants online from Pepper Joe's.

1. Fast Shipping for Live Pepper Plants (5 Days a Week)

Just like all our pepper products, we ship live pepper plants fast – Monday through Friday. This ensures that plants get from our greenhouse into your hands quickly and healthily. In most cases, plants will spend only a couple of days in their boxes before getting to you.

2. We Ensure Plants Have the Necessary Moisture They Need

Just before shipping live plants, we select the healthiest plants of the bunch. We give the seedlings a little "bath" so the rock wool has the proper amount of moisture during the plant's journey from our greenhouse to you. 

3. We Have Custom Plant Packaging

Next, each seedling is placed into our new 100% recyclable plant packaging that is designed to fit the rock wool and plants perfectly! Our shipping process has been refined through years of testing and thousands of live plant shipments across the U.S.

4. We Provide Detailed Instructions on How to Successfully Harden & Transplant your Live Pepper Plants

Once the plants arrive, we're still committed to ensuring you have the information you need to properly handle, transplant, and harden off your new pepper plants. There is a QR code sticker included on the plant packaging. Scan this for our step-by-step Live Plant Care Instructions.

5. We Stand By Our Live Plants with a Satisfaction Guarantee 

At the end of the day, everything we do and offer for sale is focused around giving you the best possible product and making it easy for you to experience and enjoy all the unique benefits that hot peppers have to offer. If for any reason your live plants arrive dead or in poor condition, please get ahold of our dedicated team within 48 hours of receiving your plants. Whether it's giving you specific tips for saving the plants, or sending out replacement plants – we'll work to make it right.
