10-pack of Tradescantia cuttings will guarantee you with a good selection of tradescantias, all healthy and happy looking. These cuttings have NO roots and should be kept in water until they sprout roots before being planted into soil. This will take about a week or two.
Tradescantia can withstand long draughts, doesn't mind an occasional over-watering streak and can do well in much less sunlight than other plants.
They grow very fast and happily can be multiplied, so you are guaranteed to have a fair few of the branches you can gift your friends very soon.
As for planting - any regular garden soil will do, they do not mind things like that :)
The plants will be sent first class, in a flat cardboard box (which fits through the letterbox as a large letter). Inside the box, the plants will be wrapped in a ziplock bag and a wet kitchen towel, as to ensure they do not dry out while in transit.
If you need a different delivery day/time/type, please let me know.
