While San Pedro cacti are especially hardy, we offer the Winter Shipping Upgrade for those who want extra peace of mind during transit in cold weather. This upgrade includes a heat pack and a priority shipping upgrade for smaller orders, helping to protect your cactus when temperatures drop to 32°F (0°C) or below.

 

Heat Pack: A 72-hour or 96-hour heat pack, selected based on your shipping time, to provide extra warmth during transit.

Priority Shipping Upgrade: For orders under $100, we include a priority shipping upgrade to reduce transit time and exposure to cold.

Please Note:

San Pedro cacti are resilient and tolerate colder temperatures better than many other plants. Our shipping methods allow for year-round shipping without a heat pack in most cases. However, we recommend following our unpacking and care instructions upon arrival, as improper handling after delivery can lead to more issues than actual cold damage during transit.

Winter Shipping for Larger Orders

For orders over $100, shipping upgrades do not apply. Instead:

Larger orders are shipped with multiple heat packs and additional insulation.

Cacti are typically shipped bare root to ensure better protection during their journey.

Orders will ship via ground service for stability.

If you are concerned about weather conditions, contact us before placing your order. We can:

Provide custom expedited shipping rates for faster delivery.

Hold your shipment until temperatures improve.

Do I Need a Heat Pack?

For Cuttings: No, you do not need a heat pack. San Pedro cuttings are incredibly resilient and can handle cold weather in transit without any additional protection.

For Rooted Plants: A heat pack may be helpful if your daytime temperatures are consistently below 32°F (0°C), but in most cases, our standard packaging and the natural hardiness of San Pedro cacti are sufficient.

Important Shipping Notice:

We are not responsible for damaged shipments due to extreme weather, delays, or storms. Monitoring your local weather conditions is the customer’s responsibility. Adding a heat pack reduces risk but does not guarantee protection in severe conditions.

Why Consider This?

San Pedro cacti are hardy and built to withstand colder weather, but for extra peace of mind, the Winter Shipping Upgrade provides an additional layer of protection for smaller orders. For larger shipments, we take care to package and insulate your cacti for safe delivery.

Remember, proper unpacking and care after receiving your cactus is crucial to its health. Following our guidance can prevent issues far more effectively than relying solely on shipping protection. Let us know if you have any questions about winter shipping! 🌵
