A modular potted plant shipping box is an apparatus that protects a potted plant throughout a shipment process while preserving the structure of the plant. The apparatus includes an outer box, a stopper frame, a stabilizing frame, and a receptacle. The outer box contains and protects the stopper frame, the stabilizing frame, the receptacle, and a plant housed within the receptacle. The stopper frame maintains a desired position of the stabilizing frame, and consequently the receptacle, within the outer box. The stabilizing frame maintains the desired position of the receptacle within the outer box. The receptacle houses the plant. The apparatus may further include a removable compartment that houses a variety of items that may compliment the plant housed by the receptacle. The receptacle is positioned within the stabilizing frame, and the stopper frame is positioned in between the stabilizing frame and a main opening of the outer box.
