Does anyone have any tips for moving plants? I have a collection of over 150 plants and I want them to make it to their new home safely :) Any tips are appreciated!!

    I’m about to do this. My plan so far is to rent a mini van that is tall enough to fit my larger plants. Then wrap each plant in plastic wrap to keep the soil from going everywhere. Loosely wrap some of the larger leaves. I have been collecting the boxes you get at Costco to help contain the smaller plants. My move is cross country so I’m only leaving the van to sleep at night and hopefully cooler… It may or not work out. I do expect to lose a couple just from the shock of environment change. I wish you luck!

    when i moved in and out of college (mind you the drive was only 4hrs away), i would just get a cardboard box and pack them together and wrap them in blankets or towels. definitely give them a nice drink a day or two before!

    I just moved across the state, and I used plastic wrap around the pots so the soil wouldn’t fall out. I also bought plastic bins for my smaller plants so I didn’t have to use Saran wrap on them. The bins are the long ones you can get from Walmart. I rented a U-Haul for about $20 to haul my larger trees and plants. If I had any propagations sitting in water, I dumped most of the water out. There was still a little left to keep them alive, but not enough to spill and soak everything else. I also put those inside the clear bins.

    I’m going to be doing this in the next year or less and I was thinking the plastic wrap around the pots after a good water and drain. I was also thinking I’d rent a small U-Haul and pack the plants in like they’re being shipped across the country.
