A Positively Moving Experience
How to Pack and Move Plants
In this blog entry, the home moving and interstate moving service experts here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail the best ways to safely pack and move plants to your new property.
Determine What Plants To Brings
Some plants cannot last the trip. Some delicate plants cannot withstand temperature changes or long drives. Inspect your plants and determine what plants are worth bringing on your move, and which should be given away to friends before moving day.
Plant Preparation
Feed your plants a few weeks before the move and remove dead leaves or branches. If they need to be pruned or repotted into plastic containers, do so, as this will make them easier to transport and place inside a moving box. The essential tips for moving, transporting, and treating plants after arriving at your new property are:
- Wrapping plants
- Protecting plant leaves and branches
- Hanging hanging plants
- Watering plants as necessary
Plant Care at your New Home
When you’ve arrived at your new property, unpack your plants carefully. Make sure that every plant gets the proper levels of sunlight and water, and then allow the plants to rest for a while to settle in so they can adjust to the shock of the transition; this is especially important if they have been exposed to any high temperatures during the move. Make sure to give them plenty of time to rest before trying to repot them into larger pots or move them around at all.
