Good morning and thanks for visiting Movers.com, I'd be glad to help you with your question.

Plants are an important part of your home, they not only add decor to your home but they add life! Making sure they arrive at their destination when moving is crucial to their health and to your state of mind. Here are some tips for packing and transporting your plants.

Packing and Transporting Plants

You should begin preparing your plants a week or two in advance of the move. You should remove them from ceramic pots (which can easily break during a move) and put them in plastic pots. You can wrap your ceramic pots and ship them separately.

  • When packing your plants, inspect them for damage and insects and treat them as necessary ahead of your move date.
  • Water your plants no later than a day or two before moving day to make sure there is enough time for the water to absorb into the soil and prevent any moisture damage to your other belongings.
  • When packing, make sure you have a box that is an appropriate size and line them with plastic bags to help protect your other belongings from soil spillage and any water spilling.
  • Provide enough cushioning in the box to minimize movement and shifting during transit and if your plant has large branches, stems or leaves protect it with plastic wrap to make it easier to move.

Hiring Help

If you can't transport the plants yourself, you might want to consider hiring help. Moving labor can help you pack, wrap and load your items or even drive the moving truck for you if you're not comfortable behind the wheel. Just fill out the free quote form with your zip code and the date of your move and you'll see a list of moving labor companies in your area.

A small mover can help you move our goods that have a total weight of less than 2,000 pounds (generally). Most commercial moving companies have a 2,000 pound weight minimum for shipments, so a small mover would be able to help you with a smaller move.
