Seed grown plants in 5” pots. First photo is of a specimen plant. Very easy to grow member of the cucurbit family (cucumbers!). Long vines emerge from the top with orange flowers and crazy looking neon day glo orange fruits. Very forgiving plant. The vines grow so fast on a daily basis! 5” pots- actively vining!

These do tend to drop leaves in shipment. New growth should start within two weeks of delivery.

Dormancy:

This plant is winter and drought deciduous. If you purchase this plant in the late fall/winter/early spring, it will not have leaves. As it starts to warm up, you can water more frequently to encourage it to start growing new leaves.

Even during spring/summer/early fall, this plant may still drop leaves in transit. This is normal and expected. When plants are put in a stressful situation, which includes being bare rooted and put in a dark box for a few days, it is going to conserve as much energy as it can. It does this by dropping its leaves. Once it arrives, please pot it up, give it a good drink, and keep it in a shady area for about a week while it starts to recover. You should see new leaf growth within 1-2 weeks. If you have any questions about this plant’s care please reach out to us at the website chat, Facebook, Instagram, or support [!at] paradisefoundnursery.com.

Etsy Purchase Protection: Shop confidently on Etsy knowing if something goes wrong with an order, we've got your back for all eligible purchases — see program terms

First, just wait a few days. The USPS is known to scan things as "delivered" prematurely. Check with your neighbors, check around your yard, check with family members. Make sure your address was correct on the order. Next, call or visit your local post office with your tracking number and they can use GPS to locate it. ONLY your local post office can do this! Worse comes to worse, you can try filing a claim with USPS but they usually do not approve claims where tracking states delivered. I cannot refund an order that states it was delivered, nor can I replace it. If I did this every time, there'd be no more nursery to send you cool stuff!

It's neither dying nor dead -- this is a very normal shock reaction to being pulled from a pot, wrapped up and shipped in a dark box. These trees shed leaves because leaves are nonessential for survival in the short term, and are very costly in water and energy to produce. So, they dump the leaves and wait for the trauma to end - you can help this process by immediately potting it, watering it, keeping it in the shade for at least a week. It's now your job to convince your tree that it's safe!

Etsy has decided to punish LICENSED AND PERMITTED SELLERS after being pressured by the IUCN to crack down on plant selling regulations. Their lazy attempt is to implement a useless algorithm that flags listings INSTEAD of doing the work to gather proper permits from sellers and create a network of legal sales. If you cannot purchase a plant from here please go to our website, www.paradisefoundnursery.com
