Plants are very essential for human life. Plants destroy harmful substances in the air and improve indoor air by increasing the humidity. They also decrease the amount of dust and reduce stress symptoms.

Moving plants need to be planned in advance.

Couple of Weeks before You Move

You can move the plants easily by following some books that explain plant moving techniques. A florist would also help you in guiding the plant packing methods. Plants are pruned before packing.

A Week before Your Move

Before packing the plants, you need to destroy the pests on them. Then pack the plants in a black plastic bag with bug/pest ‘strip' or conventional flea collar or bug powder. Then close the plastic bag and place it in a cool climate for one whole night. This destroys the pests on the plants or in the soil.

One Day before the Move

Collect some cardboard containers. Put the plants in the container surrounded by a wet packing paper or a news paper. Cushion the leaves with a paper and pack with a layer of wet paper on the top of the container as the plants need some moisture. If you cannot carry the plants, you can cut a stem and store in a plastic bag wrapped with a wet paper or towels around them.

On The Move Day

Write “DO NOT LOAD” on the boxes that contain plants to avoid moving them by truck mistakenly. Then place the boxes in your car for moving.

Parking the Car

Do not forget to park your car in a shaded area in the summer and a sunny spot in the winter.

At the New Place

As soon as you reach the new home, unpack the plants immediately with immense care. Then allow them to grow in mild sunlight.

Moving whole of Garden Plants

Before you move, check if the climate and soil at your new home is suitable for the plants or not.

The Seeds

Collect the seeds and store in an airtight container.

The Bulbs

Dig up the bulbs during their natural dormant season. Then pack in a mixture of loose dry peat moss and vermiculite to provide a lightweight and protective transport medium for the bulbs.
