that has been my experience with plugs too.


Me three. A couple years ago I did a co-op Terra Nova plugs I think I might have ended up with 3 out of the 24 that lived. I have stopped doing co-ops because of that.

I ended up spending more on the double shipping and since they are plugs and do not survive I am better off buying a plant locally. 2.00 per plant does not sound bad until you add the shipping to the one putting the co-op together, and then shipping to you, adds another 5.00 to each plant.

I prefer around 4 inch pots for best survival rate. Find a good sale and flat rate shipping and ends up almost as cheap as plugs.
