# So I’m moving home from college for the summer, then moving back to…

_Posted by Stevi on 2023-05-11_

So I’m moving home from college for the summer, then moving back to my own apartment in August. Does anyone have any advice on moving with plants? I have a big tote I was going to keep them in (no lid, of course) but I’d appreciate any tips!  
here’s a photo of my philodendron in her cute little tub

I’m doing the same, one thing I found helpful is to minimize the temperature changes and the time in the car, so make them the last thing you put in the car right before you start driving and the first thing you take out of the car when you get home

good point!

I’d get on YouTube. I know Plantsbymelissa and TheJungleHaven have moved a couple hundred plants and vlogged it!

I just moved all my plants home from college too 😄 I put a big cardboard box in my trunk (open, I didn’t close the top) and fit them in snugly so they wouldn’t move around while I was driving. It also helped to put something soft in between them so the pots didn’t hit each other (paper, a blanket, etc.) I hope the drive goes smoothly! 😊

good idea, thank you!

Jungle Haven and Becca De La Plants both have YouTube videos for that.
