Overview
House Plant Dropship is a membership-based platform for retailers selling live houseplants without holding inventory. It sources and ships customer orders from greenhouses in California and Florida. Its formal dropshipping policy limits service to the continental United States, so retailers need to check the destination before listing products for sale.
Products
The supplier advertises more than 600 plant SKUs, including tropical plants, succulents and cacti, air plants, pet-friendly selections, pre-potted plants and bundles. Pots and accessories are also listed. Catalog stock can change: the supplier replenishes weekly, does not reserve inventory for future orders and refunds the retailer if an oversold item cannot be fulfilled.
How dropshipping works with House Plant Dropship
Retailers join the paid membership, list eligible catalog products and send customer orders to House Plant Dropship. Members can place orders manually or use integrations. Its Shopify app can import products, sync inventory and forward orders; the app requires a separate approval and signed vendor agreement. The supplier also describes WooCommerce options and an exportable inventory file for retailers managing listings themselves.
Orders ship in blank outer packaging with generic packing slips. The supplier does not include custom labels or branded invoices. Retailers handle their own customer communications and consumer-facing returns.
Shipping & returns
The supplier says it normally packs and dispatches orders within 1–4 business days, then aims for 2–4 business days in transit. These are supplier-stated estimates, not delivery guarantees. Its dropshipping policy restricts orders to the continental United States.
Cold-weather protection matters for live plants. The formal policy requires Winter Shipping Protection when average daytime temperatures at the destination drop below 45°F; orders without it are excluded from cold-damage remedies. The site’s current banner advises adding protection below 50°F. The supplier offers a healthy-arrival guarantee subject to its policy exclusions, including courier delays and incorrect addresses. Retailers must send order details and photos for a damage claim; the supplier may provide a refund or replacement for eligible damage.
Costs & requirements
Membership costs $30 per month and includes a three-day free trial, according to the membership page. There is no minimum order quantity. Plant and shipping charges apply to each order; manual orders are charged at checkout, while approved automated partners are billed as orders are fulfilled.
The Shopify app page also lists a $2.30 labor and packaging fee per item plus actual shipping charges for app merchants. Bulk order import and special handling can incur additional policy-listed charges. Retailers should calculate the full landed cost for their intended order method before setting prices.
