I have a LOT of different sundew seedlings growing right now and I know it will be a while until I can but I plan to sell a lot off when they are shippable because I sure can't look after that many adult plants... anyhow, I was wondering, for those of you here who maybe have grown and sold plants from a seed: how old or big should they be to be able to safely ship them off, and how do you do that?

Here is a size comparison of the ones I have now (ruler is in millimetres):

Plants of almost any size can be shipped. You've seen those tiny Nepenthes seedlings sold before. The key is to ship them potted, as seedlings have very small foot systems, and can be easily damaged or broken if shipped bareroot. I would still wait a little bit longer though, just to let them grow bigger

I see, thank you very much for the advice!
