🥶☀💧TEMPERATURE & Extreme Weather warning🥶☀💧

If it is colder then 50 it is highly to get a heatpack with thermal(https://etsy.me/3AXFC9P) heatpack (https://etsy.me/3L8M5TX) and or heatpack (https://etsy.me/3L8M5TX). It is highly advised to get one of those if it is 50 or below and even then there is a small chance of damage but much lower.

We sometimes provide faster shipping when you order the heat pack and thermal for some areas. If it is above 100 some plants also might have issues and should be taken in asap and faster shipping. If its hot when you got it water it NEVER fertilize it when you get it after weather issues.
