Important Shipping & Care Notice (Live Papaya Plants): This is a live papaya plant. Temporary leaf drop, wilting, or cosmetic stress after shipping is normal and does not indicate poor health. Papaya plants are very sensitive to cold, wind, and transplant shock. Transit conditions and temperature changes may affect appearance upon arrival. Care & Planting Instructions After Arrival: Unbox immediately upon delivery to prevent heat or moisture damage. Water thoroughly on the first day; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Place in a warm location with bright, indirect sunlight for 2–3 days, then gradually move to full sun. Plant in the ground as soon as possible or into a large container using well-draining soil. Keep temperatures above 50°F at all times and protect from cold, wind, and heavy rain. Do not fertilize for 2–3 weeks to allow the plant to recover from shipping and transplant stress.
