Is the bare roots shipping the safe way for the plants?
Yes...Some people worry about shipping bare roots because they think that maybe the plant get more stress in a box without soil, I'll try to explain in my opinion why I higly recommend bare root shipping, 1) Most of the cactus need to be repoted every 1 or 2 years on the same pot to speed it's growing capacity with the new soil and sometimes to move to a bigger pot, and check for any problem in the roots system with pest, most of the cactus we sale need anyway to be repoted, 2) I don't wash the roots!, only remove the old roots an soil by hand to avoid any damage on the roots system, 3) the most important, to avoid any damage on the shape of the plant, when shipping in pot sometimes the weight of the soil can push the plant again the wall of the box if the postman drop the box outside down and the plant will be damage. in most case I can ship the plant in a pot for the same price of bare roots but we are not responsible for any damage during shipping plants in pot , if this is your first time in my store or buying with us please check the comment in my possitive feedback from my customers about shipping and package, I promes to do my best to protect the plant in the shipping process.
