You will need:
1) 2 ziploc bags (depends on the size of the plant)
2) a bucket of water (any watertight container works)
3) a paper towel or toilet paper works too.
4) a box and newspaper

Step 1) Remove the plant from its pot

Step 2) Put the soil ball into the water and try to get as much soil off as you can

Step 5) [Not for all plants] If you are sending a very large plant, put a bag over the first one on the uncovered side of the plant

Step 6) Get a box, line it with newspaper, put the plant in, and you are ready to go! :mrgreen:
Hope this Helps
