Tropicals & Tender Perennials: OT - This is how I pack plants to ship, 0 by AlohaHoya

I have been shipping plants, commercially now for about 5 or 6 years and being basically very lazy, I have honed it down to minimum effort to produce maximum efficiency. My main goals are:

1. Minimize to the minimum (hopefully ZERO) movement of the plant in the box. Stabilize the plant so that the only movement is from the whole box, not the plant rattling around in the box.

2. Facilitate the recipient opening the plant up...some shippers are so 'thorough' it takes all the razors I have to free the plant.

So... Here is the plant I am demonstrating: a costus with 4 stems.
