Hi guys! I am getting ready to move about an hour away from where I live now… does anybody have any good tips, tricks, or hacks on how to pack and move 75+ plants?? Also if anybody has been able to successfully move with fiddle leaf figs or a variety of other ficus… I’m so worried my FLF and ruby rubber tree are going to have a freak out 😭😭😭
If you have 2” plants, use an egg carton to hold all of them at once! And if you have 3-4” plants use a drink tray to hold 4 at once. You could make sure the soil stays in the pot with plastic wrap/newspaper/tape/cotton stuffing/etc. If you’re worried about some plants drying out, use sphagnum moss. I’ve never actually moved with plants but have heard these before so I’m sure other people will have better tips!

I recently watched a video from Madison from PlantTherapii (give her a follow, she is awesome I love her) about tips and tricks with moving. She has another 3 videos afterwards where she also shows how she unpacked them so you get to see the packed plants as well if you need a visual. Can’t link the video but here is a screenshot 🩷
Thanks for this. I will be moving within the next 1-3 yrs and I have no intentions of getting rid of my plants. I will be taking them with me. This helps. I’ve saved her video in YouTube. Thank you.

Your FLF is going to be upset whether you move her to a grow light closet to protect her from the “gardening” 2 year old or halfway across the country, but just like my wife when I bought a motorcycle, she’ll get over it. Give her similar or better conditions at the end of the journey and she’ll start putting out new growth within a month. The rubber on the other hand is a champ. Keep him fed and lit and he’ll forget about the dark moving truck in a couple days
