Protecting your plants
If you have plants, they require extra planning before moving to make sure they stay healthy and have a smoother transition to the new environment.
You can start a few weeks ahead with giving your plants a good prune by removing all dead leaves, flowers and branches. Closer to the moving date, carefully dust the foliage and give them plant food. Continue watering your plants as usual, but keep in mind that watering them the day before your move is not ideal, as it makes the pots a lot heaving and the water may leak and damage other belongings.
Follow this rule, unless you are moving in summer and it’s a hot day, then make sure your plants have enough water to keep them comfortable. It is also a great idea to re-pot them in plastic pots, which is a lot easier to transport. When packing, wrap your larger plants to avoid damage and place them in boxes, securing them with paper around the base.
