about this product
What is a live kratom plant?
A live kratom plant is a living kratom tree: Mitragyna speciosa, the same species kratom leaf comes from. We sell live plants for home cultivation rather than kratom seeds, which are notoriously slow and unreliable to germinate. Kratom is a tropical evergreen in the coffee family (Rubiaceae), native to Southeast Asia, and growing your own kratom tree is a long-term project for plant enthusiasts and collectors.
Kratom plant cultivars
We offer live plants in several named cultivars, each propagated from established Mitragyna speciosa stock:
- Rifat — one of the most widely circulated kratom cultivars in cultivation.
- Malay — a Malaysian-lineage cultivar.
- Bumblebee — a popular named cultivar among growers.
Growing kratom plants
Kratom is a tropical tree that needs consistent warmth, high humidity, and bright but filtered light. It is not frost-hardy, so in most US climates growing kratom plants means keeping them indoors, in a greenhouse, or moved inside for the cooler months. Young plants do best with steady moisture and protection from cold drafts.
How we ship live plants
Live kratom plants are carefully packed for transit. Because they are living plants, weather and transit time matter, and plants ship separately from dried goods.

The inevitable happened, as it does for far too many. My life was destroyed very quickly, mostly by my own hand. Lost, hopeless, scared, angry... I finally found…
Herb Stomp (Sandy) is BY FAR the best Herb and Kratom store I have ever been to. In my 2.5 years of using Kratom, I have never been to a place as helpful as this! The employees are so so helpful! Usually when buying Kratom, I’m met with grumpy head shop owners who seem to want me to either spend out of my budget, or…
I moved this month from NW Portland to SE and have dealt with stores that sell kratom in many states across the U.S. and online for the last couple of years. I found the prices of kratom at Herb Stomp to be about 1/3 of the price and ~4x the amount of which I had been paying! The store offered $2 sample bags which I…
