1. Assess Plant Health
   Check each plant for pests or diseases and treat them before the move. Remove any dead leaves or branches.

2. Prune and Repot if Necessary
   Lightly prune plants for easier handling. If a plant is in a fragile pot, consider transferring it to a lighter, shatterproof container.

3. Water Strategically
   Water plants a day or two before the move so the soil is moist but not soggy, preventing spills and root rot during transit.

1. Choose the Right Boxes
   Use sturdy boxes with enough height for taller plants. Line them with plastic to protect against leaks.

2. Secure the Plants
   Wrap pots in bubble wrap or newspaper to prevent movement. For multiple small pots, secure them inside one box with spacers.

3. Protect Foliage
   For plants with delicate leaves, cover them loosely with paper or fabric to protect against tearing.

1. Maintain Comfortable Temperatures
   Avoid leaving plants in extremely hot or cold environments. Transport them in climate-controlled vehicles if possible.

2. Keep Upright
   Label boxes as “Fragile” and “This Side Up” to ensure plants remain upright throughout the journey.

3. Minimize Darkness
   Try to avoid keeping plants in darkness for too long, as they need some light to stay healthy.

1. Unpack Promptly
   Remove plants from boxes as soon as you arrive to reduce stress.

2. Inspect and Hydrate
   Check for broken stems or disturbed soil, then give them water if needed.

3. Allow Time to Adjust
   Place plants in their new locations gradually, letting them acclimate to changes in light and temperature.
