Caryl Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Put it in a plastic bag (seal well) then a tall thin cardboard box or map tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_Tank Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 i could sorta guess that much, but i need all the fine details, like how much water etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 No water. The plant will survive just fine without it as long as it's damp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ira is right, you don't need to add any water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I agree with bikie FT that was a wankers trick to withdraw and sell it Hope TradeMe catches up with you You are still obligated to pay their share Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_Tank Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 i know, i would be mad if it happened to me as well, but i had the tank advertised in the buy sell, and the sword plant was in the add. if you notice, i also withdrew my tank and my fish...and i still had to pay $2 for each auction i withdrew.if i had more of a choice, i would have kept the swordplant for sale on trademe. I prob would have made more money that way 2. you have every right to be mad at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish_Tank Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 well, i was kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place, and i knew i would have trouble because of it. but neway, it's in the past now, if u guys wanna remain mad, shun me, what ever, thats fine with me. if u wanna hold a grudge, thats your problem, not mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 When shipping large plants, put them in a bag with just a little water to keep the air very humid. Blow the bag up so the plant can't get crushed. Put it in a fairly well insulated box as tropical plants don't like to get cold (treat them like fish). Off it goes.
