Very large items are always sent separately.

They are then de potted and left to dry off a bit. Then wrapped and packed. They are shipped first thing next morning.
When you receive the plants do not put them in full sun. Open the box un wrap and put outside in light shade for a day or two. But plant them quickly or repot them. Make sure they don't dry out.
