I would appreciate if you could share some ideas on how I should pack them up to protect them. ✌️ ## 6 comments ### Ella commented on 2023-02-01 Don’t know how to protect them but just wanted to wish you good luck at your new place! #### TheodorsAroids replied on 2023-02-01 Thanks ### Ida commented on 2023-02-01 I moved last year in January, temperatures where way below freezing (5 F / -15 C) so I packed my beloved plants as much as I could. I used anything from bubble wrap to paper bags and blankets. There was 2 plants that didn’t make it (out of 60+) so I’m pretty pleased with that. The best and easiest way was: wrap one plant in some sort of paper (I used newspaper) and then place it in a paper bag with 1-4 other plants depending on size. Fill the gaps in the bag with paper/Towels/bubble wrap. Then staple the top of the bag and your good to go! #### TheodorsAroids replied on 2023-02-02 2 out of 60 sounds like a good result. I’m gonna try this. ### StephK312 commented on 2023-02-02 You might also try getting some heat packs to put in with them, especially if your moving a long distance. Good luck! #### TheodorsAroids replied on 2023-02-02 I didn’t even think of it. I’m gonna order some more heat packs. Thanks! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
