I'm looking to buy a shame plant (mimosa pudica), but I can't find it anywhere locally. I spotted it on Etsy, but I've never actually purchased a live plant online before. If you have experience buying plants off Etsy, what should I know? And if not Etsy, where else would be a good website to buy plants? Also, does my growing zone matter here since it will be kept indoors? Thanks for any tips!

I've bought multiple plants on Etsy over the years and haven’t faced any issues yet. It’s good to check the seller’s reviews to ensure they’re reliable. Also, a tip: if you’re getting live plants, try to avoid shipping them when it’s really hot outside because the mail trucks can get sweltering!
Oh, I didn’t even think about how hot it gets in the mail! Thanks for that advice.
