I have never done this, but I've read some articles about doing so safely. I'm sure it's possible! Here's an article I just found with some helpful tips: https://agoyu.com/learn/how-to-mail-plant-cuttings/

Thank you!!

It shouldn't be a problem. Succulents need to develop a callus before they can be rooted, or else they'll just rot. So if you take the cutting and wrap it up loosely in some newspaper, the callus could be forming while it's in its box on the way to Boston. The post office has boxes that would be ideal for holding a few cuttings, and you could even pack a box full and send it flat rate.

It worked got there in 3 days safe and sound thank you!!!

After being mugged and having my things (including my keys) stolen, I was locked out of my townhome after business hours on a weekend. I was told on the phone when dialing my complex’s after hours number (which is managed by a 3rd party company) that my complex’s policy would let me in for a cost of $100 (as it was after hours). After I was let in, property manager informed me the charge was $200. Is there anything I can do here? This is in Minnesota. Help appreciated!!

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days).

Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?
