The shipping system envelopes plants within their containers in perforated plastic. The perforations of the plastic are sized and spaced to allow respiration but to prevent the plant from becoming dislodged from their container. The container can be a tray having multiple cells holding a plurality of plants, or a single pot. The perforated plastic is used as an over wrap of the plant within its container. The plants are placed within a shipping container. Inserts are placed within the container and prevent the plant from becoming crushed if the shipping container becomes inverted by supporting the edge of the plant container and preventing the plant material from contacting any surface which would damage the plant.
