Shipping S/H plants: in pot w/ LECA or bareroot?
I've been playing around with various S/H parameters, media, watering automation schemes, etc. I've been doing this with plugs from Carmela or OrchidWorks. I now have hundreds of plants that have served their guinea pig roles and are outgrowing their small containers and my limited space. I'd like to sell/trade them.
What experience do people have with shipping plants in S/H? Should the pot+LECA be taped up like one in bark would be or should they just be bare-rooted, maybe shipping the LECA packaged separately, depending on what sells? Bare root would save the poor appearance issues of cruddy LECA and algae-covered plastic cups that many of these plants sport.
