Preserving Cotton Stalks for Shipping and Display

To preserve a cotton stalk with bolls for a wall hanging: hang cuttings upside down in a cool, dry place to dehydrate naturally. Take extra cuttings—success varies with moisture content. Ship in a deep box with ample packing peanuts and cushioning. For international customs, contact local agricultural authorities for phytosanitary requirements.
