Mailing Jade Plant Cuttings: Timing and Packing for Success

Shipping Succulent Cuttings Safely

Jade cuttings travel well if packed correctly and timed to avoid freezing.

Best Practices

• Take cuttings in morning; let cut ends callus a few hours.
• Wrap each cutting individually in tissue or paper towel.
• Place in a sturdy box with minimal shifting.
• Ship via Priority Mail (2–3 days).
• Critical: Avoid freezing temps in transit. Do not mail Nov–Mar unless both sender and recipient are in frost-free zones and route avoids cold regions.

Why Wait Until April?

Longer days = faster rooting. Cuttings mailed after April 1 establish quicker. Jade cuttings root readily in gritty soil once planted.

Patience and timing ensure live arrival.
