READINESS LEVELS
Understand what your plant is ready for.
Not every rooted plant is equally prepared for change. Readiness Levels were created to help you understand a plant's biological stage—not just whether it has roots. By identifying how established a plant is, how much transition it can tolerate, and what kind of support it may need, this framework helps you make informed decisions with greater confidence.
Every plant has a starting point.
Readiness Levels provide a clear framework for understanding where a plant is in its development. Rather than relying on broad terms like well-rooted or established, each level offers practical context to help set realistic expectations before your plant arrives.
PLANT READINESS OVERVIEW
There’s no “best” Readiness
Level—only the right fit.
Readiness Levels are designed to provide context—not guarantees. They aren’t intended to measure a plant’s quality or assign value, but to help you understand its current stage of development and choose the experience that’s right for you. Whether you enjoy the challenge of early establishment or prefer a more established plant, the goal is the same: making informed decisions with clear expectations from the very beginning.
