Plants are personal, and knowing how to move with plants lets you hold onto them longer. Whether they grow in your house, apartment, balcony, or garden, you might not want to abandon them when you find a new space to move to. That, in turn, brings up a question that you probably haven’t considered before planning your move:<\/p>\n

How, exactly, can<\/i> you complete your move with your plants?<\/p>\n

The answer, as you might expect, depends entirely on your situation. Generally speaking, moving with plants is absolutely possible, but a wide range of variables will matter. The size and number of plants are just as important as the distance you’re moving and whether you’re crossing state lines. Also, of course, you have to make sure that you package and transport your plants the right way.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, you’re not on your own. Consider this your comprehensive guide on how to move with plants, ensuring that your new space will be just as cozy and comfortable as your old place was.<\/p>\n

Can You Take Your Plants With You When You Move?<\/h2>\n

Yes, you can take your plants with you when you move. But that answer is not true universally. There are four scenarios in which you might not be able to move with your plants:<\/p>\n

1. You have too many plants to take.<\/h3>\n

As the saying goes, every move is only as big as the moving van you’re renting. If not everything fits, you will probably want to prioritize your furniture over your plants.<\/p>\n

2. You’re moving across state or country lines.<\/h3>\n

As we’ll discuss later in this guide, it’s crucial to be aware of any potential restrictions you might encounter when crossing state lines.<\/p>\n

3. Your plants are too old to adjust.<\/h3>\n

As plants mature, especially to and beyond ten years, they might not take to new soil as easily. You can still try, but they might not survive the move.<\/p>\n

4. Your successors may want the plants to stay.<\/h3>\n

If, for example, you sell your home with an established garden, the home buyers may expect that garden to remain in place. Always check to make sure, especially for exterior plants.<\/p>\n

If you cannot move your plants, consider taking a cutting or giving them away to someone willing to take care of them. Next, let’s get into some of the more detailed nuances of how to move with plants.<\/p>\n
