Garden Help Desk: Protecting your plants while moving

Are you in the process of moving and worried that your plants might not survive the transfer? Well, you are not alone, so we have some tips to help you and your plant. Take a few weeks off from fertilizing it before you move, give it water a day before the move, wrap paper around it to keep it safe, do not leave indoor plants in a car overnight, and if you’re shipping them, don’t do it during extreme weather conditions.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you’re planning to move, take measures to keep your plants safe during the process.
  • When shipping plants, do not so during any extreme weather conditions.
  • Wrapping newspaper gingerly around a plant can keep it safe during a move.
