I won't claim to know the limit, but in my old international business travel
days, I often shipped plants back to myself. 10 to 14 days in transit did
little to weaken them, although the phals did get a little flaccid.

How long CAN they go without light? I have been thinking about
ordering some more, & watching some on eBay, but the vendors are all a
long way from where I live, & Canada Post packages take
forabsolutelyEVER to arrive. I am leery of ordering something that's
going to take a week to get here (even expedited). So how many days
shipping time can they stand? Is there sort of an average or ideal
time that growers/shippers feel is appropriate?
