Subject: Packing C.P. for postal transit

Hi-de-ho cp'ers! Brian here...Here's how i've been packing cp for years and
i've had no problems at all;...First,knock the plant gently from it's
"home",and remove most loose soil..Secondly,remove dead growth and rinse plant
in a bucket of water{tapwater is fine}...Thirdly,place plant in a ziplock
bag,add a big pinch of sphagnum{moist} to keep a little moisture in the
bag......Fourth,place plants in a suitable box and remove extra spacing in box
with crumpled newspaper{See,that junkmail stuff is good for something!!!}Seal
tightly and awwwaaayyy we go!! :) The most important thing is to remove all
extra space in the box after plants are added,and to keep a little air in the
ziplocks to aid in cellular respiration....Good luck and Enjoy C.P.!!!!Bri :)
