Torsten Posted January 18, 2003 take wet/damp sphagnum moss and squeeze it as hard as you can. use this as padding. seal into a bag with lots of air space and moss. then put into hard box to avoid crushing. Given your current weird comments at EA forums, I am sure you will hold this advice against me one day..... btw, I don't post at EA anymore, so no point in baiting me there.

Torsten Posted January 19, 2003 Originally posted by planthelper: good to hear we are still friends! did you have any doubt?? i recieved a parcel that way and it was "say" 50% succsessfull. if this was from ED, I would say that it was a little too wet and not protected from crushing. Mine were heavily bruised and one died. Other than that he was on the right track i got it out now, this minute circumstance happening at eb 1. but i hate it when people lough at my expense, specialy if i try to help them. i respect you big times, just do the same! I do! You have done really well with some difficult plants. Please understand the difference in our work though. I deal with hundreds of species, of which we propagate a fair few in large numbers. You deal with a handful of difficult plants and can dedicate a lot more time to each one of them. A poor method is not worth much attention if there is a better method (judged by success rates). I personally don't remember the scenario at EB1, but gee, if you had an issue about it, why did you wait 2 years to bring it up?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted January 19, 2003 i guess i wanted to be first known as somebody who knows "things". and the sphagnum methode works, but the person in question(its, not ed) forgot to save the rest of the parcel from nocking arround. in other words: this person did put the parcel prepared your way in a bigger one,without any material stopping it from shaking arround whilst transport took place... result: ;( :D [ 19.
