I also starred it. I rarely send plants since my lifestyle is a little different now but someday, when school is over, I shall once again be shipping!

I tip my hat to you. I tip my hat to you. I tip my hat to you. Hurray! Hurray!

I like the press and seal as it really does stick without tangling too much.

I just re-read this and it is such a timely reminder of how to prepare and ship plants.

Thanks Again.

Great information! Now if only there were a tactful way to get people to learn this before we trade plants with them...

This was really helpful! I have a pair of philodendron starters I may need to pack if I want to get them sold. Question -- where do you get that heavy corrugated paper? If I don't want to buy an entire roll of it, what can I use instead?
