Over the years you develop a feeling of affection with your
plants when it comes to moving you are very much concerned on what can help you
in relocating these delicate plants safely.
Of course you feel a kind of connection with your plants
just like your family members and it's hard for you to part yourself from them.
But, a lot of care needs to be taken when you are planning out to move your
plants because they are delicate and need to be handled with utmost care. And,
also you will need to be very careful about the fact that these plants can well
survive in the new home and if you don't think they can try reconsidering it.
Here, I am going to help you with some really noteworthy
plant moving tips that will retain their quality and freshness...
1. You must consider prepping up your plants a few ahead of
your move. Just prepare your plants for the move by removing off the dead
branches and leaves and take off dust and weeds from them.
2. You must consider loading the plants at the end and only
after everything else has been loaded in the truck. That way, it would be the
first thing to take off when you are unloading your goods at your new home.
3. You will need to take these plants out of their
containers and wrap them up in spare newspapers. Then, cover them up with
plastic bags! Just below the foliage, wrap a rubber band to seal it.
4. Now, keep aside these covered plants in Sun and you must
not put it in the car or truck overnight. Load them only when you are ready to
move.
5. You must water the plants a day before the move and not
on the day of movement itself.
6. Irrespective of the time of the year you are shifting
your home, you will need to store the bulbs after digging them up in paper and
not in plastic bags. This way you will be able to keep the bulbs quite well and
can plant them easily in the new soil at your new home.
7. Know about the temperature condition and if it can be
possible get the plant relocation done in a temperature controlled environment.
And, if you are taking up an International move or long distance relocation,
and you are stopping at a hotel on the way, take your plants along with you.
8. Helping them with the right amount of water is very
important before the move as well as during the move. Even if you are moving
them in an air-conditioned car, a lot of things have to be taken care of to
keep them in the comfortable condition.
9. When you are relocating during the summers you must not
forget to water them well on the day of the move and also through the journey.
And, if you are moving during the winters just try keeping the soil dry.
10. You must be aware of the plant moving laws! And, if you
are going for an International relocation then you check with the customs if
you can relocate the plants with you across the borders. Because there are
certain countries whose rules do not allow certain species of plants on their
land.
11. Also, when you are relocating from one country to the
other then you will need to do some preparations in advance. For example, if
you are moving in the USA, their Agriculture department will require you to go
through the inspection of the plants because they want to ensure about pest
control and if your plants are not among those which are under the list of
plants which cannot be grown in the USA.
12. Moving companies in California particularly take care of
the fact as the state has strict regulations on its botanical richness.
13. You must not depend completely on the moving company
because not all the companies take the responsibility of transporting your
plants. And, also you will need to take care of the regulations of the state
with regards to the plant moving.
