Hi prhart,

I'm not familiar with the anti-transpirant, but have started using the Plant Moisture crystals when packing some plants for trade.

The Arbor Day Soc used them when they mailed me my free bare root tree seedlings earlier this year, and they did quite well.

I bought a large amount of the crystals (different sizes) on a coop a few years back. I really like using them in big pots that have numerous plants in them in the summer.

I usually kind of limit my plant trading to either early or later in the season, but it really depends upon the plants and where the member is located...which is why I very seldom respond to posts where the member has not posted their location on their Member Page.

btw...the Aconitum you sent me last year are doing great this year.

Here is a link that might be useful: Plant moisture crystals.

When I get tree shipments of bare root stock, they are shipped dormant with a couple handfulls of wet sawdust or peat. When I ship, I use a handful of soaked wood chips.

On supplier ships willow cuttings wrapped in wet newspaper inside the plastic bag.

I've had material in the shipping system for up to a week this way with no harm.
