Its obvious that you have considered how your shipping and do it with care
but I still offer that a drier plant is safer and hopefully you don't have
any problem.
Many collectors trade and give plants they ship UPS or US Postal Service &
may not have large numbers of plants to take a chance with.
I'm sure if there were a problem you would take care of it immediately so
this is addressed more to the average collector than a grower.
