Oh, and to answer your question about how my
plants were shipped...
Mine were shipped in 3" plastic pots. They were side ways in the box encircled by cardboard and then surrounded by padding. They had somehow even managed to put some take around the rim of the rims of the pots to prevent as much soil spill as possible. But the take was not touching the leaves. But not everyone sends
plants that way. Some are rooted cuttings.
A really nice lady on another forum sent me a bunch of cuttings. She wrapped the roots loosely in wet paper towel and slipped them into ziplock bags. She place them all in a box filled with styrofoam peanuts.
