Shipping Policy
**Shipping Policy for Plants**
At MantisPlants, we take great care in preparing and shipping your plants to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
Bare Root Shipping
All plants are typically shipped bare-rooted, meaning that the soil is carefully removed from the roots to prevent any damage during transit. We wash the roots to remove any remaining soil and allow them to dry before wrapping them gently in tissue paper. This process helps minimize stress on the plant and ensures its safe arrival to you.
Pot Shipping Option (Not Recommended)
While we do offer the option of shipping some plants in their pots, this is generally not advisable. Shipping a plant in its pot can result in root damage due to movement and stress during transit. The roots can become constricted or disturbed, which can harm the plant. If you are still interested in this option, it must be arranged in advance with the vendor, and we will take extra precautions to pack it as securely as possible. However, we highly recommend the bare-root shipping method to ensure the best possible outcome for your plant.
**Careful Packaging**
We take pride in our packing process to ensure your plant arrives safely. Every plant is carefully packed, with extra attention to detail to protect the roots and foliage. We take care to secure the plant during transit, and make sure it is cushioned and stabilized inside the shipping box to avoid damage.
Our goal is to make sure your plant reaches you healthy and ready to thrive! If you have any questions about the shipping process, feel free to reach out to us.

Haworthia Viscosa Hybrid
Oudtshoorn, WC
This Haworthia hybrid is a small, succulent plant known for its distinctive rosettes of plump, fleshy leaves that can vary in shape, color, and texture, often featuring fascinating translucent or windowed tips. It’s ideal for indoor and outdoor growing in pots, and its compact size makes it a popular choice for succulent collectors.
Care Instructions:
Haworthia hybrids prefer bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. Water sparingly, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, especially in cooler months. Avoid direct, intense sunlight, which can burn the leaves, and protect from frost. A well-balanced cactus fertilizer can be used sparingly in the growing season.SKU: n/a -

Astrophytum Myriostigma Tricostatum
Oudtshoorn, WC
Astrophytum Myriostigma var. quadricostatum, also known as the “Bishop’s Cap Cactus,” is a distinctive, spineless cactus with four prominent ribs, giving it a star-shaped appearance.

Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; a few hours of direct morning sun is beneficial.

Ortegocactus macdougallii
Oudtshoorn, WC
Ortegocactus macdougallii is a rare and unique species of cactus native to a small region in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is a small, globular cactus that usually grows as a solitary plant but can form small clusters over time. The body is dark green to gray-green with distinctive black spines and a slightly woolly crown. One of its most striking features is the chalky, bluish-grey coating on the skin, which helps protect it from intense sunlight. It produces bright yellow flowers in spring or early summer. Due to its limited natural habitat, it is considered a vulnerable species and is prized by cactus collectors.
