marvin,

what plants are you sending? Different species need to be packed differently and depending on whether you want to send with the pot and media or bare root, you need to pack differently. Let me know and I will try to help you.

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.

For CP, as mention by David, bare root. Put it in any plastic bag... normally, I use those transparent. And use rubber band to tight the bag. Make sure there is not much air inside it, so that the plant will not move left and right to plastic beg.

Put the packed CP inside a box and send it.

For aqutic moss, you just need to pack it at any plastic bag as well. make the plant is wet. pack it as mentioned above, put it a padded pastic evolope or box. Then, send it...
