Packing aquarium plants for shipping or storage requires a bit of care to ensure they stay healthy and undamaged. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to pack aquarium plants:
1. Prepare the plants:
Trim any damaged or old leaves: This helps the plant focus energy on new growth and avoids any decaying matter during transport.
Rinse plants: Gently rinse the plants in dechlorinated water to remove any dirt, debris, or pests.
Check for pests: If you're sending plants to someone else, make sure there are no pests like snails or algae that could transfer with the plants.
2. Wrap the plants:
Wet paper towel or moss: Wrap each plant or bundle of plants in a damp (not soaking wet) paper towel or sheet of wet sphagnum moss. This keeps the plants hydrated during the shipping process.
Avoid plastic bags: If you wrap them in plastic, make sure it’s loosely packed so the plants can still breathe and receive some airflow.
3. Bagging the plants:
Use a resealable plastic bag (preferably a zip-lock bag) for each plant or bundle. Ensure there is a little air inside the bag but not too much to cause the plants to dry out. A small amount of air allows them to "breathe" without wilting.
Double-bagging: If you’re sending multiple plants, you can bag them individually, then group them together in a larger bag to protect them further.
4. Cushioning for protection:
If you’re sending a large number of plants, consider using bubble wrap or soft packing material (like packing peanuts or crumpled paper) to cushion the plants and prevent them from being crushed during transit.
5. Prepare the box:
Place the plants in a sturdy shipping box. Add extra padding (e.g., crumpled paper, air pillows) around the bags to ensure the plants don't shift or get damaged during shipping.
If it's a hot or cold season, you may want to include a thermal shipping pack (heat or cold pack, depending on the temperature) to protect the plants from temperature extremes.
6. Labeling and shipping:
Clearly label the box as fragile to minimize rough handling.
Ship via a method that ensures timely delivery to avoid prolonged shipping times, which could stress or harm the plants.
