How Do You Relocate Plants?
Relocating plants to or from the Tampa area can be tricky if you don’t take proper precautions. Most moving companies won’t move plants because of their fragile nature and their inability to thrive in areas with no sunlight, such as the back of a moving truck. However, by following our set of simple instructions, you can make moving your household and garden plants a breeze, and keep them safe along the way.
It’s important to do plenty of research before moving your plants, especially if you are moving to another country. That’s because some countries won’t let certain types of plants across their borders for ecological reasons. Once you have done your due diligence and have determined that your plants can be moved to your new place of residence, simply follow this timeline to ensure their safe transport:
- Three weeks before the move – move your plants into plastic pots, which will be much easier to move when it comes time.
- Two weeks before the move – Prune excess foliage from your plants to minimize the amount of physical space they will take up.
- One week before the move – Check your plants for pests and make sure not to overwater them, as this can cause a slew of other problems like mold growth.
- The day before the move – Place the plants in a cardboard box to protect them and poke holes in the box to allow for airflow.
