Preparation
The first thing to consider when moving a plant is the preparation. Preparation is key and if the right steps are taken then a plant can survive for two days in transport.
- Wrap the clay pots in a damp newspaper and then add a layer or two of dry paper.
- Tie up the stems of any large plants with elastic bands so that the movie isn’t complicated by stray branches.
- Pack the plants closely together in boxes pots and fill any spaces in the pots with paper so they don’t crack or break on transport.
- Punch holes in the sides of the boxes that will work as air holes allowing the pants to breathe.
- Check the plants for bugs or parasites.
Avoid shocking the plants on transport
Moving plants can often stress plants. Changing their environment and living conditions even temporarily can potential damage or kill plants. Here’s what to watch out for.
Temperature
Extreme temperatures can be fatal to your plants. You should do your best to insulate them from the dangerously high or dangerously low temperatures.
Water
if you are moving your plants in the summer remember to water your plants before the journey. Try to water them the night before too. F you are moving your plants in winter then do not water your plants for up to 36 hours before the moving day.
Light
The sudden change from natural light to darkness can hurt the plants life and also the aesthetics of the leafs. Try to adapt your plants to this change over time by exposing them to less light gradually, for a week or so before the move.
Once you arrive at your new homes
The key here is to act quickly. Unpack your plants as soon as possible. Resettle them into well watered and fertile soil. Be careful not to damage any stems when picking them up or moving them, they can be fragile. If the soil is frozen then keep your plants wrapped up.
By following these steps you can ensure your plants will arrive healthily into your new hoes and new life with you.
