Okay, it wasn't as bad as I thought once I went outside. Just have barely 6 weeks of having to get up and feed/water this early. I can do that.

But its freezing. Literally, it's 28F right now

I'm hoping my succulents are okay. They shipped out yesterday, and I had ordered them back when it was 60s and 70s and they suggest ordering heat packs if it's below 40. It's been below 40 here the whole time they've been in the mail. Hopefully the box is too big to fit in my mailbox and has to be held at the post-office

So, what exactly do you text to them?



Sorry Fluffy, I couldn't resist!

Should be OK, temperature isn't such a big deal until it's REALLY cold or warm

Really cold as in -1C? They were grown in a greenhouse

Much colder than that. The greenhouse part is more worrisome

Most succulents can handle a bit of cold. Unless the whole pot freezes, they should be okay overall. They're packed in a box and probably surrounded by other boxes during shipping, plus when they are moving the cold doesn't matter as much.

Hopefully the mail people acknowledge the LIVE PLANTS label on the outside of the box and protect them a bit.

I'm the same issue. Lockdown started last night and my humidity is great, but my temps vary from 98.0 to 101.5 depending on where in the incubator

My post people will. It's the stops before my office that make me worried

Had to hold Scout so I could clean his feathers as he had something stuck in them, like similar to how gum looks stuck in hair, but not sure what is was. It definitely wasn't mud at all.
He decided to peck my hand to show how displeased he was lol
