This is my first time at sending plants in the post. Hopefully I have done it correctly
Olley was their to help.The plants are passion flowers. So I took them from Their pots and put them into those funny little pots which soke up all the water
Then I wrapped them in clin film
Placed them in a small box packed with newspapper and wrapped them up
And they are ready to go in the first post in the morning

I use empty toilet roll holders or cardboard made into a tube, wrap the roots in damp kitchen paper and then bubble wrap and a padded envelope.. i write PLANTS on the envelope Donnah, i think the postage was £1 10p ...

The packaging is just fine, I reckon, Donna....but your helper is even more fab! What a lovely pussycat!

I have resorted to taping the plants across the box in a cats cradle affair when the top growth has been too big. i think they arrived relatively safely.

~mine seems to have expired when I was away so if you have one to spare I would be really grateful too!

Cats cradle a good idea, Seaburngirl: suspended in air?
