CLOSED: New here, need advice on mailing cuttings

Wesley Chapel, FL(Zone 9a)

Some advice on mailing cuttings? I thought maybe wrapping them in wet paper towels, then putting them in a plastic bag. Any comments? All advice is appreciated.

Thanks for the link, Imzadi. I had already seen it. It talks about mailing plants; I need to mail some cuttings. Maybe there's no difference?

no not really. its still basically the same way of mailing. i mail cutting like this and i have recieved cuttings packaged the same way.

i have also seen the wrapped in paper towels then that new sticky saran wrap wrapped around them. that stuff really does hold in place.

Don't know about the new sticky Saran Wrap. What's it called, do you know?

The Press N Seal works fantastic. I've sent a bunch of plants and cuttings out using it. No tape needed.
