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!


That sounds so much better then the box I got mine in a couple of months ago. They cooked and still are barely hanging on . They just stay limp and dry but not dead yet.

My new starters have new segments. I want to move them to a new hanging pot. How many do I use in say a 9" pot? How far apart.
