What to do with your plants during a move?
Moving house is an exciting time, but it’s also a stressful one. What should you do with your plants during this busy time? Here are a few tips for looking after your plants and making sure they arrive in good condition in your new home.
1. Prepare your plants in advance
Before moving day, take the time to prepare your plants. Prune them if necessary, remove dead leaves and make sure they’re in good health. This will reduce stress on the plants during transport.
2. Pack your plants carefully
Use ventilated cardboard boxes to pack your plants. Make sure they are securely fastened to prevent spillage during transport. If your plants are too big for the boxes, wrap them in bubble wrap to protect them.
3. Avoid sudden temperature changes
Plants are sensitive to temperature changes. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures during the move. Keep them out of direct sunlight and out of the cold to keep them healthy.
4. Hydrate your plants before you leave
Before you leave, be sure to hydrate your plants generously. This will help keep them hydrated during transport. Avoid over-watering, however, as excess water can also be harmful.
5. Unpack your plants as soon as you arrive
As soon as you arrive in your new home, unpack your plants as quickly as possible. Take them out of the boxes, remove the bubble wrap and give them a good watering to help them acclimatize to their new environment.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to move your plants safely and see them flourish in your new home. For more tips and advice on everyday life, moving and spaces, don’t hesitate to follow our blog. Happy moving!
