- Finding the right box—To begin, the right box is everything. If you choose a flimsy box for shipping your plant, chances are it will get damaged during transport. Use sturdy boxes that won’t cave in or bust open during shipping.
- Digging the plant—You can either dig the plant the night before you ship it and soak the roots overnight in water or you can dig it until you’re ready to pack it up. If you decide to wait to dig it, make sure you soak the soil with plenty of water the night before.
- Wrap the roots—Make sure you include plenty of roots with the plant you send. Keep the roots wrapped up in a wet paper towel or soaked newspaper. You can also put a plastic bag around the paper towel or newspaper, but make sure it’s not too tight because you don’t want to damage the plant.
- Label your plants—Always label your plants so the recipient knows exactly what type of plant he’s receiving.
