Does anyone have any tips on moving a massive bird of paradise? It is on wheels. I let it dry out so it is lighter, and I have help, but she GREW this summer and she’s heavy. Any tips/tricks are appreciated 🥲

She’s bigger now compared to when I took this photo last month😅

Maybe a dolly or hand truck?

You might shrink wrap the leaves together when moving. That way leaves aren’t flying everywhere or get damaged.

That’s a good idea to wrap the leaves. My palm tree leaves were shrink wrapped when it was delivered and planted in the yard. The nursery said it protected the leaves and conserved water until the tree could be replanted and watered. 🪴🍀
