Green Fingers on the Move: How to Relocate Your Plants Safely in London

Preparing Your Plants for the Journey

Before the big day, give your plants some TLC to ensure they're ready for the move:

• Check for Pests: No one wants to introduce unwanted guests to their new home! Inspect your plants for pests and treat them if necessary.
• Prune and Prep: Trim any dead leaves or overgrown branches to make handling easier and reduce stress on the plant.
• Hydration is Key: Water your plants a day or two before the move, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy.
  

Packing Your Potted Pals

Transporting plants requires a little more finesse than packing books. Here's how to do it right:

• Choose the Right Containers: Lightweight plastic pots are your friends. If your plants are in heavy ceramic pots, consider repotting them temporarily or securing the existing pot to prevent breakage.
• Secure the Soil: Place a layer of cling film over the soil and around the base of the plant to prevent spillage.
• Cushion and Protect: Wrap the pot with bubble wrap or packing paper to provide extra protection. For larger plants, use blankets or towels for cushioning.
• Box It Up: Place smaller plants in sturdy boxes with plenty of cushioning. Larger plants may need to be transported individually.
