Sending stem plants are more complicated as compared to moss. Moss and riccia can take crushing but not stem plants. For beginners I would suggest that you send using box with moist newspaper. This will prevent the plant from drying up. Once you wrap the plants with moist newspaper, put them in airtight plastic bag then into the box. The box will prevent crushing of plants.
The other important factor will be timing. You have to know the number of days it will take to reach Greece, check it out on the Singapore Post website (you can find out the charges there). From the timing work out which day of the week you should send out the plant to prevent the plant being stuck in either their post office or our post office during weekend. Eg. If it takes about 9 days to reach Greece, you will have to send before Thursday, any day after that will hit the weekends when it arrives in their local province/states post office.
Lastlywill be the type of plants, not all kind of plants can be sent via air mail, you will have to test it on your side first. Do a mock up of the type of plant you intend to send, pack them, exactly the way you send and leave it aside. Check them on the expected arrival date. If the plant rots or melts, then it is obvious that you shouldn’t send that plant. (This step is important) Alternatively you can you express service, min $40.00 or more
There are other ways of sending, but of course this is the simplest.
