Want to get a seed started and then ship it from Colorado to my sister in Tennesee. Planning on shipping it as soon as it polks through the soil. I need ideas on how to do this. Dont want it to tip upside down or get to dry or crushed or whatever. Any thoughts????

Greg, check out this article on cloning that me and Marc worked on in 2000, it also includes shipping the plant through the mail. Hope this helps.

I received one of those plants from Marc back in 2000, and it arrived in remarkably pristine condition!
