IT SHOULD BE OK TO SHIP IT NOW. i WOULD JUST PUT THE CUUTINGS OR BARE ROOT PLANT
IN A PLASTIC BAG TRAP SOME AIR IN IT AND CLOSE IT WITH A TWIST TIE. THE FEW DAYS
IT'S IN TRANSIT SHOULDN'T HARM IT.

Subject: [IBC] Shipping cuttings?


I was talking to my mom (who lives in Chicago) for Mother's Day and was trying
to explain to her what a Portulacaria was (Baby Jade/Elephant Plant). I got the
idea that perhaps I could just ship her a few cuttings, she's very adept at
growing stuff. She's got gro-lights for use in the winter, and the plants could
be outside in the summer. Not really sure how they'd take to the idea, but
seeing as how how easy to obtain the cuttings are right now for me, not a huge
loss. Anyway, my point is, what's the best way to ship bonsai? I've got a couple
options, I could wait till I can obtain some more fresh cuttings and just ship
her those and let her plant them, or I could take a cutting I have with roots
out of a pot and send it, or I could just send the cutting pot and all. I work
at Staples and have a UPS outlet there so I'd use UPS to ship. Any suggestions
or thoughts?
