How To Safely Move Your Plants To Your New Home

When you are moving to a new home, presumably you will hire removalists to help you, and while they will do all they can to ensure everything goes according to plan, there are many aspects of the move where you will need to play a more significant role than them.

One of those is if you wish to take plants with you from your current home to your new home. With the moving of plants to a new home, it is not just a matter of loading them onto a removal truck and hoping that by the time you see them again at the other end, they will all still be blooming, and intact.

After all, you will no doubt take great special care with your bone china tea service, and best crystal brandy glasses, when are moving to your new home, so you should certainly be as vigilant with your beloved plants.

Here are some helpful tips and hints on how you can ensure your plants’ journey to their new home is as trouble-free as hopefully yours will be.

The first thing you should be doing is to give your plants a bit of spring clean by way of pruning them. Not only should you be doing this regularly anyway by pruning off dead leaves as part of keeping them in top condition, but you will also be reducing the amount of debris that the plants might create whilst they are being transported.

Looking After Your Pet During the Moving Process

Moving house with pets can be stressful for everyone involved. Your pets don’t have the luxury of knowing that they’re going to a brand new home and can become very upset during a move. Even using a professional removalists probably won’t help you too much here.

Fortunately, there are plenty of things that you can do to make the process easier for both you and your pet. As long as you’re organised properly before moving day, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Consider the following before moving house with a pet:

Keep Your Pets In a Quiet Place Away From Noise and People

The moving process can stress your pets a lot, especially if they’ve lived in the same house their whole life. It’s therefore extremely important to make sure that you look after them on moving day.

The most important thing is to keep them in a calm, low-stress environment where they can relax on their own. For example, you could keep your pets in a quiet room at the back of the house while everything is being moved. This will reduce the amount of noise and people that they’re exposed to, and should really help them stay calm.
