Key Benefits

Investing in a 96 hours heat pack for your plant order offers several crucial advantages, ensuring the vitality and health of your botanical acquisitions.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

While the 96 hours heat pack is designed to protect your plants during transit, proper care upon arrival is crucial for their continued health. Once your plants arrive, carefully unbox them. Inspect the plants for any signs of stress or damage, which are less likely when using a plant shipping warmer. Allow your plants to acclimate to their new environment gradually. Avoid immediately placing them in direct, harsh sunlight or near a draft. A good practice is to place them in an area with bright, indirect light for the first few days.

Watering should be done based on the plant’s needs; check the soil moisture before watering. Many plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure the soil type is appropriate for your specific plant, typically a well-draining potting mix. The optimal temperature range for most houseplants is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing them to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), especially after they have just experienced shipping, even with a heat pack for plants. Fertilization should be postponed for at least a week or two after arrival to allow the plant to settle. Always follow specific care instructions for your particular plant species to ensure it thrives.

Size & Details

This product is a single 96 hours heat pack, designed to provide sustained warmth for up to 96 hours. It is an essential accessory for shipping live plants, particularly during periods of cold weather. The heat pack is activated by exposure to air and generates a gentle, consistent heat to protect plants from temperature drops during transit. For optimal protection, it is generally recommended to use one heat pack per box containing up to two 6-inch potted plants or smaller. For larger individual plants, such as those in 8-inch pots, one heat pack per plant is advisable due to the increased volume of air needing warming. The actual number may vary depending on the plant’s height and pot size, and larger 8-inch pots are typically shipped individually, each benefiting from its own heat pack. This ensures adequate plant protection heat pack coverage for your order.
