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.

Aloe Erinacea
Oudtshoorn, WC
Aloe erinacea (Hedgehog Aloe)
A rare and highly sought-after miniature aloe, Aloe erinacea is prized for its compact, solitary rosette and bold, architectural form. Its thick, dark green leaves are densely covered in prominent white spines, giving it a striking “hedgehog” appearance. This slow-growing species stays small, making it perfect for collectors and display in limited spaces.
Thriving in bright light and well-draining soil, it requires minimal watering and rewards patience with its unique, sculptural beauty.
Interesting fact:
Aloe erinacea is endemic to Namibia and is specially adapted to survive in extremely arid conditions, using its dense spines to help shade the plant and reduce water loss.SKU: n/a -

Due to its unique shape and low-maintenance care needs, it is highly sought after by collectors and succulent enthusiasts.

Agave Titanota
Oudtshoorn, WC
Agave titanota is ’n baie gewilde, stadig-groeiende vetplant uit die Asparagaceae-familie en is inheems aan die semi-droë streke van Oaxaca, Meksiko. Hierdie spesie is bekend vir sy indrukwekkende, beeldhoukundige vorm en het breë, dik blare wat wissel van blougrys tot silwerig-groen, met opvallende, dramatiese tande langs die blaarrande en ’n kenmerkende eindsteek. Die blare vorm dikwels ’n digte roset, wat dit gewild maak onder versamelaars en landskapontwerpers. Dit groei die beste in volson en goed dreinerende grond, en is uiters droogtebestand sodra dit gevestig is. Water slegs wanneer die grond heeltemal droog is. Hoewel dit taai is, moet Agave titanota teen uiterste koue en ryp beskerm word. Met verloop van tyd kan dit uitlopers rondom die basis vorm, en soos alle agaves blom dit slegs een keer in sy leeftyd—gewoonlik ná baie jare—en sterf daarna af, maar laat ’n nuwe generasie agter deur die uitlopers.
