Default Re: How to send plants....?

To mail out Drosera, it is best to send them bare root, meaning you clean off all media from the roots and just send the plants.

What I do it I place the plant in a small plastic container, those that are used by restaurants to pack food and chilli. These containers can be placed in a microwave.

Spray a little water into the container and cover it with the cover. Use cellophine tape and tape around the cover to make it air/water tight.

Place the pastic container in a box and use paper to hold it in place in the box. It also acts as an additonal layer of protection and buffer to the plastic container.

Next, just simple wrap the box up and mail it out.
