Lucy,
Fresh cuttings you can package within a few days or right then. I usually cut mine, stick them in water, then mail when I'm ready. Just wrap the part that was in the water with wet paper towel, then wrap the wet paper towel with plastic or stick them in a baggie. Then I wrap that in newspaper.
I'm not sure about the ones you have started rooting, I guess it would be best to send pot and all, so the roots don't get disturbed.
Hope this helps... Edna

Thanks Edna. Will do just that. Do it early in the morning. Figure the cool night cools them down and gives them less stress.

This is the beginning guys....conquering my dislike of mailing packages roflOf course Kristy saw the thread and the angel she is, called me right away ;-)

Hi Lucy
For angel, I wrap newspaper at the end of the cuttings, moist it (I add a few drop superthrive_in a water) and put in big plastic container, just don't close completely,just check it once awhile in case it become dry, it will be rooted in spring. I keep the box in the cool place like garage. I did it with any cutting
Before, I put them in the water but they get rotted a bit and do not smell good.

Sue, That is a very interesting way to root brugs! How many years have you done this? Is this method really successful?Tell us more.

Sue that does look interesting. I might have to try that. I do the same thing that Edna does with shipping. You might also want to tape the wrapped cuttings to the inside of the box that you are shipping them in to keep them from moving around. If the potted cuttings are tall I'd take them out of the pot with some soil around the roots and wrap the rootball with wet paper covered with plastic. There's less chance of it bumping around in the box if it's out of the pot.

I did it last year. As long you keep that moist and cool, you can have a little water in the box about 1", put a few plastic pots upside down and then put the cuttings on top, do not let the cuttings touching the water. You can bring to sun light, it will rooted faster.

Sue-
Thanks for sharing that! What temp. do you have in your garage- does it ever freeze in there in the winter?

Very interesting way to root them. Thanks for the good ideas.

wow now I am even one step ahead thanks to sue.

Thanks to everyone else I should have no problem now. My mind is at ease.

hugs to all

Lucy

temperature in my garage about 50 - 55F.
All my cactus, agave, plumeria, angel trumpet(in pot) in garage. I gave them water every 2,3week so they don't dry out. I take them out in end of March or April. Keeping angel in garage, so when spring come, you already have a big one, and in 1 month you have plenty of flowers.

Thanks Sue, I'm going to have to try that.
