Description

The listing, Three Succulents & a Cactus, hardy to 10F! has ended.

This auction is for cuttings of hardy succulents and one cactus. They all survived on my unheated and uninsulated sun porch last winter when the temperature got down to 10F!

Pictured are the plants you will get cuttings from: Sedum album, "Chubby Fingers" -- 6 inches; Bulbine fructescens--12 inches; Mini Ice Plant / Lampranthus sp.--6 inches; and a Mini Opuntia--one pad that is about 6 inches.

For each 100 credits bidding goes above 400, I will add an additional cutting to your box, until the box is full! (I like to include some surprises--cute succulents I don't really have enough of to list.)

Please go to my profile and check out all my past auctions for more information (and more photos) on each of these plants. And please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

If you have more cash than credit--let me know and I can list on e-Bay for you.

If you don't win this auction and are still interested in these plants, please let me know--I probably have enough extra to repeat it a few times, either here or on e-Bay.

Shipping is by flat rate priority mail-- the small box and includes tracking. Please either send a US Postal Money order or use PayPal personal to cover the shipping. I generally pack orders for which I have addresses and shipping paid by the evening before, on Sundays and Tuesdays and ship on Mondays and Wednesdays.

These plants are healthy, pest free, and were all grown in certified organic potting soil without any chemicals of any kind!

I have 2 baby aloe vera that are ready to be seperated from the mother plant, I would like to sell them on here. Any Advice on how to ship the live plants would be great thank you. And I will bid for sure. I have a very dry climate

I just received a couple of rare Aloes that I won on Listia--the person wrapped the root ends in damp (not wet) paper towels, then put them in a recycled/reused plastic packaging box--similar to maybe something that undies or fancy socks might come in. They stuffed the spaces in the box with more crumpled paper towel, and taped the box up good, and double wrapped all of that in some thick paper. The plants were fine! The main thing you need to worry about is crushing--so envelopes of any kind are out. Of the plants shifting around in the packaging and getting bruised--so shake the package before you seal to make sure you don't hear any moving around in there. If you do, shipping peanuts or crumpled paper will work. You don't want any moisture leaking from your packaging, so if you are shipping in a card board box, put the whole plant into a plastic bag and seal it well. Plants that are too wet and too hot will rot--so just barely moist will do. And the earlier in the week you can ship the better. Plants that get trapped in trucks over the weekend frequently expire . . .

I just read your advise on how to pack a succulent plant and I will not use the bubble envelope as I had planned. You are very helpful, I thank you!

Cool, then I will put your Christmas Cactus on my watch list! Two layers of bubble packing material is fairly effective for heat insulation, a little less so for cold insulation, but it doesn't always help a plant keep from getting crushed. I received a plant packed in a bubble envelope and it was crushed, rotted, and stinking by the time it arrived.

I am sorry, I am disabled and on a fixed income--right now I am pinching every penny to pay my home insurance and when that is accomplished it will be my taxes. I just can't afford to make a policy of paying for shipping.
