fishbites Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 That's exactly how I received some anubias just before Christmas - there was about 20ml of extra water in the bag and it appeared to have been sealed by a heat sealer and then packed into a box.

lpiasente Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The plants I have had shipped are always packed in some type of tubing to protect them. I would guess they would need to be in something solid so they don't get damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 When I've received anubias on driftwood it was tied to a cardboard tray which was damp and then the whole thing was encased in a plastic. These were then in another box and the parcel was sent by courier. The danger I think is if the driftwood is allowed to roll around and wreck the anubias attached to it.

lpiasente Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 What about a wet newspaper stuffed ice ream container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Actually that will solve both the rolling around and outer package issues. Good idea Leanne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
