National Garden Month: How to Prepare your Plants For a Move
March 25, 2024
As we celebrate National Garden Month, it's a perfect time to ensure that your beloved plants are ready for a move if you have one coming up.
At NL Wilson Moving and Storage, we understand the importance of safeguarding your green companions during the relocation process. In this guide, we'll share essential tips on how to prepare your plants for a move, ensuring they arrive at their new home healthy and thriving.
Assessing Your Plants
Before packing up your plants, take the time to assess their health. Identify any delicate or sensitive plants that may require special attention during the move. Additionally, inspect your plants for pests and diseases, addressing any issues before transportation begins.
Pruning and Trimming
Pruning and trimming your plants before the move is crucial for their well-being. Trim overgrown branches and foliage to ensure compactness and easier handling during transit. Remove any dead or damaged parts to promote healthy growth post-move.
Transplanting into Portable Containers
Choose suitable containers for transporting your plants, ensuring they have enough room for the roots to spread comfortably. Transplant your plants into these containers, providing adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging during the move.
Watering and Moisture Control
Proper watering is essential to keep your plants hydrated during the move. Water them thoroughly a day or two before the move, avoiding excessive watering that can lead to root rot. Be mindful of moisture control, protecting your plants from excessive dampness during transportation.
Protection from Extreme Temperatures
Shield your plants from extreme temperatures during the move. Use insulating materials or shade cloth to protect them from excessive heat or cold. Keep them away from direct sunlight or drafts to prevent stress and damage.
Securing Plants for Transportation
Secure your plants in their containers to prevent shifting during transit. Use padding or packing materials to protect delicate foliage from damage. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent suffocation while in transit.
Special Considerations for Fragile Plants
For fragile or sensitive plants, provide extra care and attention. Use additional cushioning and support to minimize the risk of damage. If necessary, consult with a professional to ensure the safe transportation of these delicate specimens.
