Posting & Packaging Plants

[Creature Seeker]

Hello, I was wondering how everyone else sends plants through the post so they don't die on route?

Thanks.

wet newspaper/toilet paper and sealed sandwich bags, main thing is to keep the moisture in, once you've done that you can just send them in a jiffy bag or a resealable takeaway tub.

i wrap them in moist (damp) kitchen roll then send them in a sealed fish bag inside a jiffy bag.

Send me all your plants and Ill tell you if you packaged them correctly.

I just plunk them in a ziplock bag with a bit of water and wet newspaper. Moist is a must.
It's really easy to ship plants.

Some crypts and vals can live over a week in bagged water.

I just stick them in a ziplock sandwich bag with some water. Then I roll up the edges to create a bubble of air around the plants and stick them in a jiffy. If the ziplock bag is taped correctly, you can put a nice bit of water in there and the bubble effect also means they're less likely to be crushed (as long as you don't make the bubble tight enough to be burst by a little pressure).

I Just stick the plants inside a baggy and ship it off.
