A Couple Of Weeks Before You Move
Prune plants to facilitate packing. Consult a florist
or a plant book for instructions.
A Week Before Your Move
Place your plants in a black plastic bag with a bug/pest strip,
conventional flea collar or bug powder in the bag before you
put the plant in. Close the bag and place in a cool area overnight
to kill any pests on the plant in the soil.
The Day Before Your Move
Place the plants in cardboard containers. Make sure they are
held in place by dampened newspaper or packing paper. Use
paper to cushion the leaves and place a final layer of wet
paper on top to keep them moist. If you must leave your plants
behind, then take cuttings. Put them in a plastic bag with
wet paper towels around them.
On The Day Of Your Move
Set the boxes aside and mark “DO NOT LOAD”
so they won’t be taken on the moving van. Close the
boxes, punch air holes in the top and load in your car.
When Moving
Be careful where you park your car. Look for a shaded area
in the summer and sunny spot in the winter.
Upon Arrival
Unpack the plants as soon as you can after arriving. Remove
plants through the bottom of the box in order to avoid breaking
the stems. Do not expose the plants to too much sunlight at
first. Let them get accustomed to more light gradually.
