The pictures show the mother plant and examples of cuttings I sell. The cuttings obtained have been standing in water and have roots. Sent in a milk carton or similar, with damp paper towels and plastic wrap around the root and some bubble wrap around to protect the plant. This means that in rare cases leaves may come off in the mail handling, but absolutely nothing damages the cutting.

Keep them on bright/sunny place when they get to you for the best colour result.
Quarantine is always recommended however, I have never had any pests on my plants.
