Best Method in Shipping Fresh Water Aquatic Plants

I have ordered a some plants online and the came in a inflated plastic bag.
Works excellent. The plants stay undamaged and start growing right away.
When you get them from a fellow aquarist it often comes in the wet paper stuff. There is always some damage. On the other hand that works well with fern or some floating plants.

 

I have had plants shipped to me in a vaccum pack, inside a box. this seemed to work well.

 

I have received Anabias wrapped in the same fiber they use to pack around the roots of plants for sale at the LFS. Some sort of fiberglass floss, not sure. About 2-3 inches thick covering the plants, soaked in water and then wrapped in newspaper. Plants where healthy, good moisture and well protected.

 

My Slogan Is: Lame Is Sloganeering

I think you are talking about rockwool it is a manmade fiber.
