Gauging interest post. Do any of you fabulous folk want to help start a cutting swap community? Always loved them on reddit. Half of my collection is from those fine folks! :)
How does it work? Do the cuttings survive in the mail, or is it a local thing?
I’ve been lurking here to learn more lol
If it’s a new community, could it include other types of exchanges? Seeds for example, I’ve seen some things like that locally with seed libraries and neighborhood groups

I’d be down🤗
although I’m not sure how I’d swap as most of my plants are root-based cuttings😅

Made the community. Go make a dummy post there so I can mod you. You may have to index the community on your server.

Hmm, that’s pretty smart! I suppose shipping priority mail would have it stay wet for long enough, then?

yooooo
if that works that’s pretty swag👌

Root cuttings can be safely mailed, it just takes a little set up. And a mindful eye on the weekly forecast

I’ll probably ask for some help on the community🤗 once my exams are finished in December🥲
with the climate I’m in, I’ll def have to check the weather before sending plants👌
