Sighing! Hi The cardboard this time of year in a bubble envelope gets very warm during long shipping trips and takes the moisture out of the leaves! I have gotten burn spots and the segments will not root! When I use the tubes I drill holes in both ends and air keeps leaves alive! I also, use plastic prescription bottles from the pharmacy! The pharmacy have 7"inch bottles and I drill holes at top! It's recycling too!
