Another use for a pizza box...Cut a hole in the top of the box just the size of the pot. Then tape the pot to the box and stick the entire thing into a bigger box. Make sure nothing can move

The soil made the trip too. I wrapped the pot in a plastic bag before I tape the entire thing into a whole I cut into the pizza box. This way the plant wouldnt move and the soil wouldnt fall out during transit.
