Rosy Dawn has a growing system that developes cuttings in little plugs
The large plants sometimes come folded over. The root plugs are wraped in a plastic bag with the lable stape on. This is shoved into a paper tube abouta foot long. All tubes are the same size,they pack and ship better.
I open my plants,remove the plastic bag and sometimes leave the plants overnight in a tub of water. Some plants are taller than others but every plant is in a one foot tube..
We plant tropicals on Memorial Day weekend here as coleus especially dont like might temps below 50.
I plant directly in containers or the garden.
The plug disolves over a few weeks and the plants take off right after the first week of aclimation. I have not ordered from any other company so I dont know how others ship.
