    Loved that you brought up asking about food allergies if reusing kitchen cardboard. My son is allergic to eggs. So we have to keep all egg and egg product away from him.

    Hey Harli, thanks again for starting your fb group , & for mentioning it .
    A thing I wish people who ship in soil would do is NOT water a few days before shipping, especially super dense non chunky (crap) soil. I have gotten too many plants with root rot and /or stem rot because the plants were watered before shipping.
    And to those that use plastic, or that weird styrofoam plastic hybrid wrap, STOP IT please.

    This is so good! Thank you! I’m going to practice shipping a plant (literally to someone the next town over) and use this method! Just seems so fool proof and simple to apply. Thanks for the inspo and boost of shipping confidence!

    I forked out on a variegated adansonii. It came wrapped in wet kitchen roll, not just the roots, the WHOLE plant! Foliage and all.
    The wet kitchen roll was then put in a plastic bag and sealed. That was then placed in DIRTY tupperware.
    Needless to say, it arrived completely rotten, and the seller refused to admit there was anything wrong with the way they had packaged it 🙃

  • @tammycastillo9447
    @tammycastillo9447 Před rokem +2

    Plain white posterboard works well as an alternative to the X-board and you can buy it at almost any store. I also use polyfill around the leaves and wrap in tissue paper several times to ship cuttings not in a cup and it's worked very well.

  • @amberm8771
    @amberm8771 Před 2 lety +1

    I sell a lot of cuttings on mercari and always wrap the roots/aerial roots in sphag, wrap that in a wet paper towel and secure it with press n seal then use polyfill in the box for cushion. Press n seal is such a necessity for me for shipping. One roll lasts forever, too! I’d use more newspaper instead of polyfill but the sound of cardboard/newspaper literally makes me gag and gives me chills. It’s so weird and my family thinks im crazy. Lol

    I’m trying to start an Etsy shop, but it won’t let me add my 100% correct banking information for the initial set up, so I can’t actually get it up and running yet. I have all my supplies on the way, but it won’t be happening unless Etsy can figure out the issue :/
    I’m not sure if Shopify would be better, or some other platform, but I’m not tech savvy at all so it’s a struggle for sure 😔
