Hi everyone,
I wanted to see how you guys are sending leaf pullings.
Which methods have worked the best for you?
Hope to get some replies and maybe trade with you all one day!
Thanks!

I'm a Drosera grower so my leaf cuttings are two dimensional.
I get a piece of paper towel.
I wet it with distilled water, the squeeze out excess.
Lay cutting flat and fold paper towel into 2 by 4 inch size.
Put into snack sized ziploc bag, squeeze out air, and seal.
Put into quart sized ziploc, squeeze out air, and seal.
Put into 6 by 9 puffy envelope and mail.

Good growing,
Mike
