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.

Description: Haworthia Comptoniana is a beautiful and collectible succulent known for its broad, translucent leaves with intricate vein patterns. The glossy “windowed” leaves create a striking appearance, making it a favourite among Haworthia collectors.
Origin: Native to the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, where it grows in rocky, semi-arid environments.
Care:
Echeveria setosa ‘Dementia’ Crested
A rare and unusual crested Echeveria prized for its fascinating growth habit. Instead of forming a single normal rosette, the crested (fasciated) growing point spreads into a fan-like formation, producing masses of tightly packed, textured leaves. The fine hairs typical of Echeveria setosa add even more character to this distinctive collector’s plant.
🌱 Care: Provide bright light with gentle morning sun for compact growth. Use a very well-draining succulent mix. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry before watering again. Avoid water remaining trapped in the dense crest, as this can encourage rot.
✨ Interesting fact: Cresting occurs when the normal growing point becomes elongated rather than developing from a single point. This creates the unusual wavy, fan-shaped growth that makes every specimen unique.
⭐ A must-have for collectors of crested and unusual Echeverias.
Haworthia Sordida Hybrid is a rare and attractive succulent with compact rosettes and beautifully textured leaves. Its unique patterns and hardy nature make it a perfect choice for collectors and small pot displays. Easy to care for and ideal for bright, indirect light.
Echeveria ‘Malgan Black Swan’
A striking collector’s Echeveria prized for its beautifully shaped rosette and dramatic colouring. Its thick, pointed leaves develop attractive shades of grey-green, mauve, deep purple and burgundy, with the colours becoming richer under bright light and cooler conditions. The powdery coating on the leaves gives the plant an elegant, almost frosted appearance.
Care: Grow in bright light with some morning sun for the best colour and compact growth. Plant in a very well-draining succulent mix and water thoroughly only once the soil has dried. Protect from prolonged heavy rain and extreme afternoon heat.
Interesting fact: The dramatic dark colouring can change considerably throughout the year, making every season slightly different.
A beautiful and unusual must-have for Echeveria and rare succulent collectors.
Haworthia nigra is a little succulent with a big attitude! With its dark, almost black, spiky leaves stacked in tight layers, it looks like it’s ready to join the goth plant club. Native to South Africa, this hardy little character doesn’t need much to thrive but always stands out with its unique look. Perfect for those who appreciate a plant that can rock the “all black everything” vibe!
Care Instructions:
Haworthia nigra prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Plant it in well-draining soil and water sparingly, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings. It grows slowly and enjoys a light monthly feeding of diluted succulent fertilizer during the warmer months. Just remember: too much water makes it sulky!
Aeonium zwartkop (black rose)
This striking aeonium has dark purple or black succulent leaves. It forms clumps of 3 to 4 feet tall with the stems topped with rosettes of its purple black leaves. It is mostly a winter grower and is somewhat dormant in warm, dry summers. The Black Rose Tree is a native of the Canary Islands and North Africa. Water wise, this is a great addition to your garden, introducing both texture and dark colour! Give it some water in hot weather though.
Ariocarpus retusus is a slow-growing, rare cactus native to the limestone-rich regions of Mexico. Known for its unique, rosette-shaped growth, it has triangular, smooth, gray-green tubercles that give it a stone-like appearance. It produces stunning white or pale pink flowers, typically in autumn, making it a sought-after species among collectors. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal water, making it ideal for xerophytic gardening.
