Hey All,

After a single red lotus plant, small to medium size as it will have space to grow out.
Willing to pay $20 incl shipping to Melbourne.
PM me if you can help out.

Thanks,

Roy

I have about a dozen rowing in my tank at the moment.

I have never sold them interstate before....wouldnt even know how to pack them!! I am guessing I would put them in a bag full of air for protection in a box?

I have attached a picture.

I am using CO2 and Dupla iron. I do not use any other ferts.

Let me know if you are still keen.

Cheers
Scott

another good way to pack em is to use an old 1 to 2lt cordial/juice container "thoroughly cleaned" last time i sent plants wrapped in newspaper to a forum member, they were rotten by the time they got there :( but i didnt send them express and it took a few days...

Ive found the newspaper method is ok for stem plants, but anything with broad leaves that spreads out its no good, they tend to get crushed.

In a bag with a little bit of water in a box should be fine, that way it wont get crushed !

Will send you a PM.
