Packed With the Same Care as Every Order

Quarantine-state orders now receive the same careful packaging as orders sent anywhere else in Australia. I pack every plant at our Adelaide grow facility, where I can take the time to secure and protect it properly for the journey.

Your plants stay in their pots, with no bare-rooting and no unnecessary disturbance to the roots. I also complete all required pest and fungicide treatments and prepare the certification before dispatch.

From packing to arrival, the whole process is handled with your plants’ health in mind. They arrive potted, treated and ready to continue growing in their new home.

Every plant is backed by The Plant Plug’s Alive & Thriving Guarantee. If it does not arrive alive, healthy and ready to thrive, I will make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship plants to Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania?

Yes. The Plant Plug is certified to ship plants Australia-wide, including WA, NT and Tasmania.

Are there additional concierge or shipping fees?

No. You place one order and pay one shipping charge. Express Post is a flat $15, or free on orders over $300.

Are plants shipped bare-rooted?

No. Every plant stays in its pot. I complete the required quarantine treatments without bare-rooting or unnecessarily disturbing the roots.

How are plants packed for quarantine-state delivery?

Orders to WA, NT and Tasmania receive the same careful packaging as every other Plant Plug order. I treat, certify and pack your plants at our Adelaide grow facility, so they stay in my care until dispatch.

Are the required pest treatments included?

Yes. I complete all required pest and fungicide treatments before dispatch as part of preparing your quarantine-state order.

How often do you ship to quarantine states?

Orders leave Adelaide every fortnight. The cut-off is Tuesday the week prior to dispatch for WA and Thursday the week prior to dispatch for NT and Tasmania.

Orders placed after the cut-off will join the following fortnightly dispatch.

How long does delivery to WA take?

WA delivery can take up to two weeks after dispatch because WA Biosecurity may hold parcels for inspection.

Why does my plant have white stains on its leaves?

Required fungicide treatment can leave white residue or cosmetic marks on the leaves. This is normal following treatment and, by itself, does not mean your plant is unhealthy or has a pest or disease.

Am I responsible for checking whether a plant is allowed in my state?

Yes. Entry requirements vary by state and plant species. You are responsible for confirming that every plant you order is permitted in the destination state before purchasing.
