To read more about how to move your plants for your move, check out our tips below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Account for the season<\/span><\/h3>\n

Exposed roots are vulnerable to the elements in warmer months.While it is possible to move your plants at the peak of summer, it’s not recommended. If you plan on moving delicate plants or an abundance of plants, spring and fall are the best seasons to assure that they don’t get damaged by the weather during moving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give your plants a trim<\/span><\/h3>\n

Trimming your plants before uprooting them will help them conserve energy when moving. Trim away all the dead and excess stems and leaves that may drain unnecessary energy from the plant. This is good practice, in general, to keep your plants healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hydrate before uprooting<\/span><\/h3>\n

Not hydrating your plants can lead to a lot of stress on your plants during the moving process. The simple solution is to give your plants a deep soak the night before digging up the plants, allowing water to permeate the soil and roots. Doing this will ensure that the roots stay intact as you root the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take care when uprooting<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is the stage that puts the most stress on your plant. It’s essential to be cautious during the uprooting process to damage the plant quickly. You can also water your plants moderately before digging them up to help ease the transition, just be careful not to overwater. Use a trowel to dig a circle around the plant, wide enough to avoid roots. Remove the plant, keep as much soil as possible, and place it in a large enough pot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Replant ASAP<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make sure that the plants are back into the ground as soon as possible; it’s best to pack your plants last and unpack them first so you can transplant them as soon as possible. If possible, it is best to have the new locations of your plants prepared for transferring your plants.<\/span><\/p>\n
