How to Move Your House Plants

Are you getting ready to move to a new home but not sure what to do with your prized petunias? Well don't fret, it's not that difficult to pack up your house plants and move them to your new digs.

Below are a few tips to move your plants to their new home with ease.

• Start the plant moving process about 2-3 weeks prior to your move.
• If you're moving across state lines, check with the local U.S. Department of Agriculture to see if your types of plants are allowed into the new state.
• Make sure all your plants are in non-breakable plastic pots.
• If you're using a moving company, ask if they will move plants. Some moving companies won't.
• Rid your plants of any bugs, mildew and disease.
• Prune large plants to make them easier to transport.
• Avoid extreme temperatures when moving your plants. Lack of air or extreme heat can kill them.
• Wrap large plants with sheets to avoid the branches from breaking.
• Pack your plants in boxes to make them easier to load. Poke holes in the boxes so your plants can breath.
• If your move lasts longer than three days, make sure to let your plants have a little water and sun light.
• Upon arrival, unpack your plants as soon as possible.
