How to Move House Plants Long Distance
Any fellow green thumb knows how important their plants are. So if you are preparing for a long distance move, you may be wondering: “What’s the best way to bring your house plants to your new home?” The process can be a bit involved, but with the right planning and execution, you can make it happen.
Prepare Your Plants for the Journey
A couple days before the move, trim the excess stems and branches off your plants so that they take up as little space in the truck as possible. Also, if they are not in terra cotta pots, make sure to transfer them, as this will greatly help the logistical effort. On the day of the move, be sure not to overwater your plants as this can cause them to freeze in cold areas or grow mold in warmer areas, both of which can be incredibly harmful to the plant.
Pack Them Securely in the Truck
It may be a good idea to place cardboard boxes with holes punched in them over your plants, as this will help prevent any physical damage that could result from jostling while in transit. You should make sure that the plants are the first thing you offload from the truck, so pack them accordingly.
