Hey everyone. I am moving across the country and want to take my plants with me. What is the best way to transport my plants in a crowded car?

You can attempt to chop and prop any big ones, or mail them to yourself.

I've been wondering the same thing I'm like I can't move I have too many plants LOL

If i move, I pack my plants like I'm shipping them. Polyfil around the leaves to protect them, small amount of damp paper towel around the soil and taped down (masking tape is easier than packing tape). Then wrapped in paper and taped up. And put in a box. If the drive is possibly cold, add a heat pack taped to the top. .

If there's something super delicate. Some stakes In will help. Or some cardboard pieces taped to the side of the pot
