Plants also require special care during a move.
- Place the plants in cardboard containers. Hold them in place with dampened newspaper. Use paper to cushion the leaves and place a layer of wet paper on top to keep them moist. If you must leave your plants behind, take cuttings. Put them in a plastic bag with wet paper towels around them.
- Set the boxes aside and mark "DO NOT LOAD" so they won't be taken on the moving van. Close the boxes and punch air holes in the top before loading into your car.
- Unpack the plants as soon as possible. Remove plants through the bottom of the box to avoid breaking the stems. Do not expose the plants to much sunlight at first. Let them get gradually accustomed to more light.
- Check with your local U.S. Department of Agriculture for regulations regarding moving plants from one state to another. Many states have restrictions on certain plants to prevent importing bugs or pests that can destroy valuable cash crops.
