Desert Rose?
+7
Does anyone know how long the roots of a Desert Rose will last in a bubble wrap manilla envelope? I want to mail one but not sure if it can be picked up right away from post office.
Thanks for your help.

Wet newspaper wrap around the roots then put in a plastic zip lock bag

Soak the roots then place in a coffee filter with a small amount of damp soil. Attach a rubber band or string around to hold in place. Wrap in bubble wrap then secure again. Should be fine to ship most anywhere since it only takes a few days to get most anywhere these days. Just make sure you aren't shipping to someplace where there are regulations against shipping live plants. Ask at the post office before you mail.
It should be fine for a week or so.
I've received these before in mail, but they were wrapped in a slightly wet paper towel with plastic wrapped around it.
Hi Penne. You might get the ordering company to delay the shipment. A lot of times you pay extra for faster shipping. If you choose the free shipment option, that might delay the delivery. Good luck Penne. Stay healthy and well.
