Plant Posting?

[fish.com1]

Hi all,

I am soon going to be ordering some plants off the green machine. The problem is i am 13 and at school most of the day. Does it matter if the plants come and they are left for x number of hours till i get home? Will they survive? When i get back i will imideately plant them in my tank. Surely it shouldn't matter too much because they have to be posted in the same packaging for a few days.

All help appreciatted.

Yeah, how should i prepare them before i put them in the tank? Should i just cut (with scissors) dead leaves/stems from the roots, and check theres no snails? Anything else i need to do with the plants

TGM uually send them in a box, so it will not fit through your letterbox, plants can survive a few days though.

if you're not in, they will be sent to your local post office depot and a little card will be put through your letter box telling you so. You just have to go and get it (make sure you bring id and the card the postman left). Alternatively if you like your neighbours... get their permission first, then leave a note taped to your front door that says 'postman please leave my parcel at number X'.
