@MyQuince26 How far away is your aunt? Are the overnight temperatures okay? you should be okay If you can get it there quickly and the nighttime temps don’t go below 50Β°F. There are plenty of videos on how to pack cuttings- generally you want to wrap the roots or cut end with damp paper towel and wrap over that with plastic wrap, tin foil, or similar. You can wrap the whole thing then with paper, and put in a small box with crumpled paper/tissue, or anything to make sure it won’t bounce around in there. Good luck!
Great advice I would add a option with a small pot of dirt. put the clippings in the dirt.water with root starter mixed in. Wet the dirt with some before you put it in the clippings and then the rest.wet some paper towels, or what have you, and wrap around the top with the cutting sticking through the middle and tape it in place. Tell her to stick it straight in the sun. That should work
