I'd be down🤗
although I'm not sure how I'd swap as most of my plants are root-based cuttings😅

I stick them in old take out containers with wet paper towel.
Hmm, that’s pretty smart! I suppose shipping priority mail would have it stay wet for long enough, then?
Yep, they'll survive if it can arrive in less than a week.
yooooo
if that works that's pretty swag👌
Made the community. Go make a dummy post there so I can mod you. You may have to index the community on your server.
done!
Root cuttings can be safely mailed, it just takes a little set up. And a mindful eye on the weekly forecast
I'll probably ask for some help on the community🤗 once my exams are finished in December🥲
with the climate I'm in, I'll def have to check the weather before sending plants👌
Hand warmer packets for cold work! I get some cuttings from a girl who includes them in winter.
