I recommend a terracotta pot of approximately 6cm in diameter (S)

Parcel packaging:

*The cuttings are packaged bare root, well protected in sphagnum moss (to retain humidity during their journey). Depending on the species of cuttings (e.g. succulents), sometimes I put dried sphagnum moss or pack them into the growing pot.
*All cuttings sold in the store are rooted in soil and substrate (unless indicated in the advertisement).
* The cuttings are then wrapped in kraft paper (approximately 90 gm thick) and they are slipped into strong and rigid boxes. Depending on the type of plant, I also add two layers of kraft paper and secure the package continents with paper. I limit the use of plastic as much as I can.

Shipments:
*NEW: Pickup possible directly in our showroom in Septèmes-les-vallons (13240), Fr. Do not hesitate to contact me to finalize :)

*Shipments for FRANCE are made from Monday to Thursday. Parcels are sent with Colissimo without signature. If you want, I can also send you to the relay points of your choice. Do not hesitate to contact me (mobile number is obligatory in this case).
*Sends to the EU are only made on Mondays (rarely Tuesday or Wednesday if time permits).

The Heat Pack:

*The heat pack is a heater that is very useful for transporting cuttings during the winter. It helps the cuttings retain some warmth during periods of frost.
*Heat packs should simply be thrown away after use. We do not mix them in our substrates etc.
*We order them when the night (or morning) temperature drops by minus 10 degrees.
*The heat pack is sold separately and the direct link is here:

After receiving the package:

*You have your cuttings now. What to do?
Cuttings received in packages are sometimes hungry and tired, which is very normal after a trip. Before taking them directly, we take a small glass with it (¼ part of water) and we put the sphagnum moss received and the cutting in it for about 3 or 4 hours (we do not pass the cutting directly in water because the roots are used to substrate and bacteria in the substrate in combination with water can cause rot. If you ever want to hydro the cuttings, you must wash the roots well with lukewarm water (several times).


The choice of pot:

1.Size
We always use the correct size pots.
The risk of root rot is very high when a cutting is in a pot that is too large because the quantity of substrate and water is very important for the roots.
Large pot = Lots of substrate = Lots of water = Too much time to dry and the roots are bathed in water.
So it is important to put the correct pot diameter.

2. Material
We often talk about potting material, we use a terracotta or plastic pot (with a pot cover) etc.
Terracotta pots are generally ideal for plants. They help drain excess water from the entire pot surface and they also help the roots dry out a little quickly before the next watering. BUT in certain species of plants (like calathea/Maranta etc) the roots do not like periods of drought (even the shortest) and here we adopt plastic pots which are very useful in retaining humidity.

3. Background
We always choose pots with a pierced bottom (whatever the pot, ceramic, plastic or even terracotta).

CUTTINGS FOR THE CAUSE

Hello to all.
If you have followed my stories on Instagram and Facebook, you may know that with funds from My Jungle I make small donations (donations that come in the margin) against hunger.
My roots are in India in a small village in the North (55 km from New Delhi).
For three months, I have been involved in a very small project where I ask my family in India to either serve meals to homes that need them or provide vaccinations (or treatments) for animals.
Today, thanks to your orders and your support, I am able to serve 25 meals per month (on the 14th day of the lunar calendar). I showed you in a short video and there were many, many of you motivating me with your very, very motivating words. It gives me a lot of strength to work for them and that's why I launched this little project.


I will not ask you to spend additional money, everything will be served within the margin of this order. You just have to buy the product if you like it. You will receive a cutting that you ordered and I will serve the margin to people.

Every week I will put 5 cuttings or cuttings from my mother plants (my collection) and 100% margin from this order will go to the help of people/children/animals.


I was lucky to settle down in the right conditions and I feel it is a responsibility to do my part for the part of society that is unlucky. Because of inflation, it becomes even more difficult for them to live even in a simple way.

Don't hesitate to follow me on the stories, I will post the little videos that my mom sends me when she distributes each month.

If you have decided to purchase this item, thank you very much for your support. Thanks to you, someone will eat a hot meal!
