- As we get more and more involved with our plants, one thing that is so fun to do is to share plant cuttings with friends, family, or even strangers! it's the best and most cost effective way to increase your plant family.
In this video I show how to take various cuttings and pack them up to get them ready to ship out. This method can also work if you are moving and you are not able to bring full size plants but you still want to bring some plant life with you! This method will keep the cuttings fresh and viable for 5 days or so, generally ample time for them to arrive and get replanted.
This advice is for domestic mail in USA and is not advised for international shipping or traveling, as importation rules vary widely from country to country. #houseplants #propagation #plants
Just what I needed to know! I’m in the house of a plant fanatic, and am taking some souvenirs home to plant. Thanks for sharing your passion for plants!

sweet!! glad it was helpful
great video
Thanks for watching !!
your sheer joy when you talk about your plants makes me smile. i feel the same way about mine!🩷
there is nothing so divine as Mother Nature!
Great video! Thank you.Would you pls suggest how to carry bougainville cuttings?
Some advice which i know wasnt asked for but always send cuttings in a box never in a shipping bag. And cutting roots will only add to the stress of the plant.
👍👍
Awesome video! Did you say you were sending those cuttings this way?😂 You truly have some beautiful plants.
hehehe thank you!
Gracias gracias gracias me encanto el video ,como todos tus videos son buenísimo ,que pena no tengo ningun amigo o familiar que me regale cortes de plantas .felicidades
excelente! me alegra mucho de escucharlo! pues tienes que buscar alguien para empezar un intercambio de plantas!
Sister.. great video
lol thanks for watching
Great video as I am traveling to the Florida Everglades and I wanted to bring back some plants unique to my area in New Jersey. Both for my Garden and my Koi pond. My concern was that if they were invasive their might be a problem. So shipping them would be way better than packing then in my luggage. I'll pack my shipping supplies, thanks for the tips.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. This method really works well, I’ve used it many times
If you don't want a course on types of plants and just want to know how to pack and mail the cuttings, that part starts at 11;41
Thanks
Shenya 😍😍😍😍🤗
Thanks!
Could you have rooted the leaves that you cut off from the Philodendron?
If there is a node, then yes
hi tnx for sharing this video - i purchased some plant cittings online - will hv to see if they arrive undamaged. In case they are, i will share your video link to the seller 👍😊
Heheheh that would be fun! I hope they arrrive well!!
Hi! Thank u for this video!!! I have a question: I need to ship some adansonii cuttings (they are not rooted yet) and I thought to not use a moist paper towel. The shipping will take 3/4/5 days, is it a good idea?
Yep totally will work. Definitely use a moist paper towel and ensure the plastic is wrapped well
The watermelon leaves are pretty. Do you ever host a cutting swap?
ive never hosted a cutting swap but that sounds like a good idea!
@@plantvibrations if you do, I would love to participate.
Nice video anyways. Thanks for sharing
Do you have to wash off the soil before packaging them? I have a plant in a ball of soil and I worry about damaging the roots if I break away the soil.
I think you’ll find the roots to be more resilient than you think once you start washing them off. Yes you need to remove the soil
Me and some buddies are trying to figure out if we can do this with “the plant” …any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated
such a shame is it so risky to do so. best of luck
11:58 is there Any alternatives instead of paper towel
You could use cloth
i know you use bleach solution to sterilize, unfortunately i have a bad reaction to any amount of bleach around me, would a diluted solution of like alcohol or something work instead?
Yes that should work, just very mild
hi Devin, great video! would you be kind enough to send me Thuja Occidentalis cuttings? on my expense off course
Done!
I could think of several people I'd like to send Kudzu cuttings to {eg}
hahaha ill trade you for some of my lonicera
Hi I am harris from indonesia. I wanna make a trial shipping , I wonder anyone here wanna receive my plants so that i can see the result of my shipping testimonial?
Where are you trying to ship to?
The proper action started at about 7:40 minutes after in the video. Not fair 😢. Too much talk without action. You could just do the video and do a voice over 🙏
Thanks for your feedback. Over the last few months I’ve been working to reduce unnecessary talking. If you watch more recent videos I hope you’ll notice
