Just received salvinia in the mail

Post by aquahive »

I got my water salvinia from Etsy a few days ago, and it was supposed to arrive Tuesday or later. But it showed up yesterday. The thing is, I'm on vacation right now and won't be back until Tuesday. Will my salvinia make it?

Does it get direct sunlight or is it in a shaded area, and is it indoors or outside?

If it's still in the package, chances aren't great - I've shipped salvinia myself and it really needs to be opened ASAP. Hope it works out for you.

Yeah, air conditioned room might save it, but a hot porch or mailbox, forget it.

Enjoy your vacation for now, unwind and take it easy. When you get back, reality will set in, and you'll see how your salvinia fared.

It's in the post office, so it's at least in a climate-controlled space, hopefully that will help it survive until I get back.

It should be alright, considering it's in a post office, the temperature's probably stable enough to keep it from deteriorating too quickly.
