# I’m moving in August, and taking these plants with me. Does anyone…

_Postat av Emily 🪴🤍 den 2024-07-25_

I’m moving in August, and taking these plants with me. Does anyone have any tips on how to move them with the least amount of disturbance?? They’ll be going on a 3 hour drive. My calathea had spider mites around 2 months ago but is being treated regularly and i have not seen any mites since. I also have a fern bonsai and Alocasia corm that fairly delicate. Any tips are appreciated!

When I moved I wrapped my plants up and put them in the car footwell wedged in with other stuff- they all made it in one piece!

#### Emily 🪴🤍 svarade den 2024-07-25

Thanks! What did you use to wrap them up?

#### Matilda svarade den 2024-07-25

I cling filmed some and paper wrapped others- they were only like that for half a day so I didn’t see any difference or effects on the plant between the methods

I am moving 12 hrs on October and i plan on using and packing i find and also extra bamboo sticks or trellis’ to keep things from falling over, putting them all in a box and making sure it’s a tight fit so no one moves around

### PlantsForMySoul kommenterade den 2024-07-25

I used boxes and packed them in pretty tightly. I had many recommendations to use a wardrobe box, didn’t end up trying it but passing along in case it’s helpful for you

Carefully. All I can offer is that I moved 90 plants by myself last year (only a 45 min drive, but it took four trips) and it wasn’t bad.

Best of luck moving! Sorry I cant be more help with the process but im dying to know what is the plant in the second picture? it’s so beautiful!

Pilea 😇

#### Emily 🪴🤍 svarade den 2024-07-25

Thank you! The plant is called a pilea peperomioides, or Pilea for short. They’re super easy to take care of in my opinion, they just need bright light and some fertilizer once in a while and they’re happy!
