Feel like I'm on Blue Peter!

Cuttings are rooted in peat pots, wrapped in clingfilm, do I need to put anything on the top of the bottles? (Going 1st class post)  ::)

It depends on whether any water can leak from the compost, therefore weakening the packaging.

Can the pots move about in the bottle?
If so, fill them up with vermiculite.

They survived!  Many thanks Ninny.   ;D

Open the box...



...take out the bottles...



...and here are the plants, all in one piece.   :)
