For most household plants, you will need a way to transport them and keep them alive as well. Shop around at your local garden store and there should be plastic pots of assorted sizes in order to help you move plants safe. It is also wise to consider some items to protect your plants during the move. Plastic or bubble wrap is handy to keep the leaves of taller plants protected. Make sure that you poke holes into the plastic so that the plants can breathe. If you are moving a plant with multiple branches or a lot of plants with long stems, you should invest in some plant ties to keep them together and intact. A long distance move will be hard on plants. If the weather is colder than you'd like, some heating lamps may also help to keep your plants alive during the night if you feel the need for them. You will also need some boxes lined with plastic to place them in. This keeps your plants secure from tipping over and the plastic will prevent water from escaping and damaging the box or possibly some of your other belongings.

It is best to start everything off at least two to three weeks before your move as well. Make sure you have all of the things you will need and be sure to take the plants from their normal pots and put them in moving pots so that they can adjust to the new environment. It is also wise to see what you can carry in your vehicle and what you will have to store in the back of the moving truck. You can also ask friends, family, co-workers, or seek out garden specialists about moving with plants to gain additional insight and tips as well.
