How to Safely Receive Cannabis Clones in Winter Without Risking Plant Health

Ordering cannabis clones in the winter might seem risky. Cold weather can damage young plants if not handled properly. But with the right precautions, you can receive healthy, thriving clones even in freezing temperatures.

At Mr. Clones, we specialize in shipping high-quality cannabis clones all year round—even during the coldest months. Here’s how we ensure your plants arrive in perfect condition and how you can care for them after arrival.

Why Cold Weather Shipping Is a Concern

Cannabis clones are delicate. They thrive in warm, humid environments, so exposure to extreme cold during shipping can cause stress or damage. Root zones and leaves are particularly vulnerable to freezing temperatures.

But that doesn’t mean you have to stop ordering in the winter. You just need a provider that knows how to protect your plants.

How Mr. Clones Protects Your Shipment

At Mr. Clones, we take winter shipping seriously. Here’s what we do to ensure your clones arrive healthy:

1. Insulated Packaging

We use insulated boxes to maintain a stable internal temperature throughout the shipping process.

2. Heat Packs

Heat packs are included during cold months to prevent freezing. They keep the environment inside the box warm and clone-friendly.

3. Fast & Timed Delivery

We avoid delays by shipping early in the week and using express shipping. This reduces the chance of your package sitting in a cold warehouse over the weekend.

4. Secure Rooting Medium

Clones are rooted in rockwool or other stable mediums that help them retain heat and moisture during transit.

5. Tracking & Updates

You’ll get tracking information so you can be prepared to receive and unpack your clones as soon as they arrive.

What You Can Do Once the Clones Arrive

You also play an important role in keeping your clones healthy. Here’s what to do:

1. Bring the Package Indoors Quickly

As soon as it arrives, bring the package inside. Don’t let it sit outside, even for a few minutes.

2. Unpack Carefully

Open the box gently in a warm room. Remove each clone with care and check the leaves and roots for any signs of cold stress.

3. Let Them Adjust

Place the clones in a humidity dome or warm area for a few hours. Let them adjust slowly before placing them under strong lights or into new soil.

4. Avoid Transplant Shock

Wait a day or two before transplanting if the clones seem slightly stressed. Give them some time to bounce back.

5. Watch for Symptoms

Drooping or discoloration may happen if the plant was exposed to cold, but most clones bounce back with a little warmth and light.

Why It’s Still Worth It

Many growers assume winter is too risky to order clones. But missing out on your favorite strains or delaying your growing schedule isn’t ideal either.

When you order from Mr. Clones, you can trust that your clones are shipped with care. Plus, growing your own plants from clones gives you:

  • Full control over quality
  • Consistent genetics
  • Lower costs over time

Don’t let the weather stop you from starting your next grow cycle.

Final Tips for Cold-Weather Growers

  • Keep indoor temps above 70°F where you grow
  • Use heating mats or grow tents if needed
  • Provide gentle lighting for a smooth transition
