Has anyone had experience shipping delicate succulents? I'd really like some advice on how to safely ship one to a member...

When I received mine last year, they were just wrapped loosely in this white paper. It reminded me of the paper they use to wrap meat in. They did just fine, and have grown great.

Unlike other plants, succulents should not be shipped moist with wet paper around them or they will rot.
They root dry and whether or not they have roots when shipped isn't important. They are really easy.

Very good.
The plant wilts so quickly I was afraid to just send it that way, but I'll give it a shot.
