So, you finally have your green thumb and now it is time to move. What do you do with your plants? You have worked so hard to get the right plants to grow and now you can’t even bear the thought of them being ruined during your move! Fortunately for you, there are ways that you can move your houseplants without killing them off. Let’s take a look.

1. Start Preparing Early

One of the first things you want to do is start prepping your plants early on before the move. About three weeks in advance, you want to start repotting your plants and placing them into sturdy pots.

By repotting them, you will prevent any type of shock and the plant will not absorb the impact, which will help keep it alive and well.

You should avoid choosing pots that are easily breakable, because, after all, you are trying to protect your plant, not injure it.

When it comes time to pack up your home, you already know that you will need to label your boxes. If you are thinking that you can simply just go through the boxes without labeling them, you are setting yourself up for a long summer of unpacking.

While it may seem easy to just throw everything into a box, it is reckless and can leave you hunting for items for months. Below, we will go over some tips to help you properly label your moving boxes.

1. Have Your Tools Ready

Your labeling tools are important and you need to make sure you have them ready when you start to pack. If you are unsure of what tools need to be in your arsenal, let’s go over them.

First, you will need to choose permanent markers of GOOD quality. Do not give in to your urge to purchase the cheapest markers available because you will regret it. You should invest a couple of bucks into the markers you choose as this will make writing and labeling much easier.

If you are tossing around the idea of whether or not to hire a professional mover, it is in your best interest to do so.
