Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

Need a unique gift plant, or high-style accent for your home or office? Then you need to check out the traditional living art form called Kokedama! Easy to care for and maintain, Kokedama has been practiced in Japan for centuries, translating literally as 'Moss Ball', Kokedama is a form of Bonsai where a plant has its roots and soil bundled in a ball of moss and wrapped in twine or string, eliminating the need for a pot or container! Now Nature Hills Nursery is proud to be shipping several varieties of ready-to-enjoy Kokedamas!

You'll love the carefree Calathea Lancifolia (Calathea spp.) elevated into the traditional art form of Kokedama! Also known as Rattlesnake Plants because of the striking, geometric pattern of alternating dark and light green markings that runs the length of each leaf! Further accented by a lovely wavy, rippled edge and a purple underside to each long, sword-like blade.

These plants move! Every night, like Prayer Plants, Calathea folds its leaves shut for the night, then open back up each morning. The contrast of greens and purple on these plants creates an eye-catching display! They are perfect low-maintenance air purifying plants that improve your health while increasing oxygen levels in your home or office! Requiring a permanent location in your home or office, Calatheas are easy to care for tropical houseplants that do not need much in the way of fussing over or care!

Displaying Your Kokedama!

Forgiving and easy-going plants, Lancifolia Calathea Kokedama are unique living works of art for work or home! Ideal for a sunny bookcase or coffee table! These elegant plants look gorgeous growing out of the mossy green ball and are surefire conversation starters!

Tabletop displays of Kokedama are truly eye-catching accents! Display your Kokedama on a polished flat stone, in a pretty ceramic tray, set in a shallow glass dish, or carved stone bowl to keep moisture away from the furniture. Set one on a side table or a bright front entry console table atop a pile of white stones or seashells. Fantastic little accents when included in a hanging or wall display on a sunny wall of your living room.

These easy-care houseplants are thoughtful and unique housewarming gifts, hostess gifts, or celebratory gifts all around - perfect for newbies and experienced gardeners alike! Best of all, the Kokedama root 'binding' method - they will never need to be repotted!

  • Patterned Dark and Light Green Leaves
  • Ruffled Margins & Purple Undersides
  • Leaves Open & Close Each Day
  • Air-Purifying Tropical Houseplant
  • Easy-Care & Versatile Display Options!
  • Hanging or Tabletop, Office, Home, Gifts & More!
  • Moss Ball Wrapped Unique Accents & Living Home Décor

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These houseplants show off in any kind of bright yet indirect sunlight for the best growth and color. They can also tolerate some partial shade and office lighting too, although you may lose out on some of that bold color in lower light conditions.

Calatheas are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine from tap water, so provide filtered water or bottled water to soak your plant in. To water your Kokedama, simply submerge the bottom 3/4ths of your moss ball in a dish or the sink and let soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove to a draining area for 20 minutes to let excess water run out of the root system. Then place it back into its display! Repeat as necessary, maintaining a moderate yet consistent moisture level.

Because of many factors, the watering frequency will vary throughout the year. Dry winters with dehumidifiers running may require soaking a couple of times a week! If your Kokedama is as light as air or your plant is wilting, you need to check it more often, or soak it a bit longer each time.

  • Use room temperature filtered, purified, or bottled water - even rainwater
  • Bright Indirect Light - Avoid direct sunlight
  • Soak for 5-10 minutes & let drain completely
  • Avoid AC & heating vent drafts
  • Use half-strength fertilizer in the soaking water in spring & fall
