Winter Shipping advice Will my
cactus
freeze
during
shipment to
me? 99%
do not; but
that is
because my
customers
first check
for
sub-freezing
temps across
the nation
at the US
Weather
Service. Ask
for a
shipping
"Hold" if
you see that
Hell is
freezing
over...
No bare root plants!
Your cactus ships
in its
container with all soil; just unpack
carefully. Let it sit for a few days away from
direct sun. After a couple days give it some
water. After five days gradually introduce to
brighter light and increase watering, etc. This
allows any fine root hairs broken by shipping &
handling to heal and re-grow.
Bare
rooting kills the delicate roots, dries & shrivels them
up requiring months to nurse back to health
before they grow again. I will never ship "bare
root". Just because "Everyone else bare roots"
doesn't mean I do it. [ How do you pack a
cactus?... ]
