Package and Send Your Seeds the Correct Way! - Carnivorous Plants (Venus Flytrap)

hey guys welcome back to the channel in today's video we will look at how to properly packaged up and send seeds to different parts of the world so stick around [Music] [Music] okay so this video is going to be very simple very very easy you really don't need a lot of you know stuff to actually do this so first off the first thing I need is obviously a plant which has seeds we do have videos on how to harvest the roster of seeds so if you want to check them out just look back in the channel a little bit you'll be able to find them it's super super easy especially if it's something like a trance track the premises other than that you know you just need an envelope you need some wax paper scissors a pen and a little bit of bubble wrap but that's really it that's all that you really need it's very very easier and some tape that's quite important too that's all you need really to you know obviously package up your seed safely and then send them across the whole world to you guys and the whole reason why I'm doing this video is something because we have done a CD giveaway for reaching 1,000 subscribers obviously we reach that goal about a week ago the contest ran from when that Wednesday to obviously the 17th of June Wednesday and today is Tuesday so obviously we will be announcing the seed 1 or tomorrow but you guys are going to actually see this video or that video until two days later cuz obviously I have like a backlog of videos and then also I will be I will be reaching out to those winners tomorrow when I do to all the names so I would say it'll be from Wednesday to Wednesday and yeah this is essentially how your seeds will come to you you guys will see how I prepare them how you know obviously make the seeds and then the winners obviously get these exact same packets of seeds so yeah it's super easy video and do it real quick okay guys so here's all the stuff between as I said it's literally just some you know some paper if you don't have paper or I mean if you don't have wax paper just don't piss fine but we'll be using the wax paper and obviously a marker scissors an envelope and some bubble wrap was really it's very very simple and very easy enough spam all the different steps to you guys so I just want to let you guys know once again that at the end of the video you is spraying our Drosophila seeds so make sure that you stay around for that because we are spraying in every single day and you will be doing updates and then every single day obviously until you guys can see when they start germinating when they start germinating it will be really really great you know because you guys have been there every single video watching me spraying them and then obviously they start growing with us so the way that you do it is that when you harvest the seeds you shouldn't have them in a plastic bag I had to put them in a plastic bag because when you come into Australia they have all these quarantine measures I mean yeah because it's quite difficult to you know obviously bringing seeds and it has to be clear see-through so they can see into it but enough of that what you want to do is that you'll have your season hopefully a paper so they can breathe and all that stuff and you want to get a big normal size paper just like this a paper on top of it like this one underneath and then your wax paper on top of that or any other paper that you would want to put your seeds into so white papers often times recommended something because it holds the seeds better and waxy I shouldn't really know why I just forgotten but it it's it's better paper to use because it helped it is healthier for your seeds and then what you want to do is that you want to fold this one your paper that you're gonna eventually have in half so that you have a crease in the middle and then you want to eventually have it folded up into a specific you know shape to obviously contain the seeds so this is when you should do that shape so we're out after do is I like to fold it in half and then fold it into quarters and then crease it at the top and then I put the seeds in and then I fold at the top and at the other end again so let me just print an action you'll see exactly what I mean so there you guys can see obviously I followed it into quarters and then from quarters are folded to the two ends into obviously one-eighth of the full length and the same width the width of the paper in half and an inter quarter and the tapa fold over just like a lid and you guys will see why I do it like this at the end of the video they're obviously in many different ways if you guys can do it whatever you're happy with you can do it some people have a technique where they fold a paper in half and then they make it like a triangle then they followed the you know different fold into each other so you don't have to use any sticky tape but yeah I essentially created the first method for quarantine here in Australia because then you can easily see the seeds to the top but of course I just settled on using paint on these plastic bags of this it makes it much easier for the people at biosecurity so once you have your paper like this you want to open it up but keep this folded at the end and what this you know folded bit of the end acts as is a barrier to the Seas then fall all the way through so just hold it like that and I like to just kind of bend it like this so that it's quite wide here at the opening you know kind of like a a broom which they call those um there's rubbish scoop things with the broom just you know obviously just put your rubbish then you throw it in the bin looks just like one and that's very very simple then this is when you would take your seeds that you would have in a poke Lea paper cause it makes it much easier to do the rest of this and you would just pour it into there [Music] now you guys can obviously see the reason why we have two papers underneath and that reason is because when the seeds fall out which often times they do you have it on the paper then you can take this paper and just put it right back in there just like that and then of course you have the other paper at the bottom just in case there any other series that just managed to escape that's like the sky here and you just put it right into this path like that but of course as I said we are going to be dividing us up half half and there are more seeds inside of this one then there are still remaining inside of those packets I will just pour a little bit out there that looks about fair for the competition so this is obviously one person's seed set honest of the other persons and then we will obviously have these going out to different people so yeah that looks pretty fair what do you guys think so let us see you guys are getting a lot of seeds you're gonna have like an infinite amounts of capensis after this and this is why it's so important to have a double paper and yeah another good thing about having the wax is that it really helps for you to move the seeds because it was on normal paper the seats have ridges and stuff and it gets in the paper with the waxed paper if you just lucky take it like this they move so it makes it much easier anyway this guy rocks yeah so there we go just put these girls up here to the side these guys obviously is very difficult for for them all to come out because it is plastic and there's a reason why I don't recommend plastic so yeah oh you can really do is just pickets and then just hope that they come out or you know fall back down we now have our two you know seat sets available and ready for us so all that you want to do now is that you take your folder but you're a little scoop and you just straighten it out very easy just like that you tap it make sure that there's no seeds along on the inside of the crease and you very easily just fold that crease over because obviously as I said you've pre-creased it so it makes it super easy fold it over at the top as you've done already before and you just want to use your nail and really push down on those edges so you can get them all really good obviously the seeds won't be near the creases because do you ensure that they are not while keeping the one side bends their continent all the way through how about making sure that there's no seeds on the other side of the crease obviously you can press with a lot of pressure you won't damage anything so yeah you can see there's a lot of seeds in there and they're not really moving that much to give them a good shake and this is perfect for you know obviously transporting them and whoever gets this pack or these two factors and I have a lot of seeds so enjoy that class this is the part where you get some tape what I like to do is I just put the tape right here at the back of it keeping it down so there we go now the tape is on the back the tape is covering all three of the different edges and the C's are not gonna fall out because it is obviously tightly packed the seat will not slip out of that you know you can shake it as much as you want the season never gonna come out because it is obviously folded ready tightly and you crease it down and you ensure that it stays flatly pressed by using your tape to keep it you know obviously in the position and now when you look at the front you can see your seeds everywhere the biosecurity people they can see that it's nice and clean seeds they put underneath a lot and of course you know you have some great greats easier so right off the bat oh sorry that's mistake you get one of these little plastic bags you don't have to use a plastic bags but I do recommend it you could just fold this guy up inside of your bubble wrap already and then put it inside your envelope but I'd like to put inside a plastic bag make sure it's accurately labeled [Music] this exact structure capensis bar red and just easily start that brought in there and now even if in the off chance that any seed does manage to get out of this packet we haven't actually level of security in the plastic bag make sure this thing's dry and then I just like to also press down on it make sure there's no error nets and I just roll my hand over and close up the bag so that it's like an you know kind of like a vacuum seal forget what I mean and there you go guys that's one done just like that now this is when you get your bubble wrap and you have the bubbles facing outwards so you can have an image really doesn't matter too much but it's kind of serves the same purpose I guess we'll just have them on the inside just for fun you want to have you want to have it tape ready you want to be more prepared than what I currently am and yeah actually I do recommend you have the bubbles on the inside so when you put the tape on you have the flat of the bubble wrap on the outside so you can easily put your tape on it so it sticks nicely so there obviously when this guy goes through those rolling machines that they have with the mail sorting faces there sees one get crushed because those things are round rolling things and it will squeeze the life out of your plants and then very something you can put this inside of the envelope seal it off at the back rack the address on the front and as the Fiat so let's do it again for the sky [Music] [Music] [Music] and there we go guys we have completed our two packs of seeds going onto two of you guys our winners of the C giveaway and we will be drawing those winners obviously tomorrow which is Wednesday but as I said you guys won't know but we making me season everything until Friday or Saturday so yeah I really hope that you guys enjoyed and think he does they do to everyone who participated in the giveaway already hope that you guys enjoyed these seeds I think I actually forgot to mention how you should open up that seed pack obviously on the back of it there is that sellotape that i've put there or that sticky tape whatever you may call it and I put it they obviously to keep it nice and flat so that those edges don't get loose so the season no slide up so the very it's very easy to actually open it up you just get your scissors you just slide it underneath the one flap and you actually just just go like in a circle and a cutter or if it's very very easy very very simple or you can just pull it off whatever your any want so now let's go outside and spray our dress up in them seats okay guys so here's our seeds and I can't wait for these guys to start growing obviously they'll take like two to four weeks before they actually start germinating and it's only been like what three or four days or something so yeah I just I really can't make these guys to start crying [Music] now as I've said if you guys want one of these spray bottles they know obviously one of our big ones as well I do have links down below for all the different types of you know products that you do need to grow these puns so yeah if you guys are looking for something like that do check out those links okay guys and that is it for today's video I hope that you found this a little bit helpful so you can also now send your seeds to friends and family and other people who may want seeds from you and anyway if you did find it a little bit helpful to use remember to leave in LAC and if you have watched this whole video please also
