Want to further enhance your new home? You can do so by having plants in your home. Next to moving a vehicle, moving plants can also turn into a major headache. You have worked really hard at getting your plant from seedling to a blossoming plant the last thing that you want is to have them arrive to your new place looking wilted.

If you are moving cross-country either by truck or moving containers you will need approval from the US Department of Agriculture to take your plants from one state to another. Since plants carry their fair share of bugs and other diseases, these diseases can be spread to other crops where they may be implanted. Moving indoor houseplants is always the easier to transport. While there are no really big restrictions on moving indoor plants, you will still be advised to properly sterilize the soil that is in the pot. When you transport your indoor house plants you will be expected to grow strictly grow your plants indoors.

Plants are not the easiest things to transport so if you are moving very far away from your current location, you may have to do the unfortunate thing, which is to pass the plant along to someone who would take better care of it. If you are set on taking them along with you, do so in your vehicle since most moving pods companies do not want the hassle of moving something as fragile as your plants. The move will come smoother if you transport your plants in a plastic container or a pot and as opposed to a ceramic pot.

Even before you move, make sure to take your plants to a nursery where they will check for many things such as mildew and mold, and even bugs before you transport it. It would also be beneficial if you prune your larger plants as well. Plants should be packed last when you move and they should be placed in boxes and fit snugly.
