Exciting! A new home and of course your green friends have to come with you. Here I give you some tips to get started and wish you courage and patience! :)
Larger plants should have their leaves and branches tied together to prevent them from snapping during transport. Don't tie them too tightly, wrapping them in plastic or paper can also offer a solution here. Check your plants for bugs before transporting them all together. Here we goPlants are sensitive to temperature fluctuation, so pay close attention if you are moving during a colder period. Pack your plants against the cold. Smaller plants can be put together in the box, put some crumpled up newspaper between the pots to keep the plants in place. Larger plants are best wrapped in paper or bubble wrap, possibly even a moving blanket. Place the plants in the (moving) cart in such a way that they have nowhere to go and nothing can land on them. I remember when we moved that I had put myself in the back of the van to help the monstera, hahah what a farce that was! (and really don't, because it wasn't that safe at all - though it was less than a 10min drive) arrivedOkay you survived the ride and the plants have arrived, think carefully about where you are going to put them. Each plant has its own needs, to learn more about the light needs of your plant I recommend you read on here. Not only light, but also temperature and humidity are important factors. Do you find no place for your plant, because your previous home was completely different in terms of light and space? Then see if you can donate your plant or take it to a plant shelter. You don't want it to languish sadly in a corner. But also take into account the change, was that one plant in your previous home in a light but quite cool place? Then perhaps it is not ideal to put it on a floor with floor heating. Changing the location of plants can confuse them, keep an eye on them and anticipate. And above all, give each other time. If your plant now moves to a place with more light than before, let it get used to the new situation little by little and do not suddenly put it in full light. You yourself will also have to adjust to the new living situation.

AuthorCrazy plant lady who likes to inspire others! Everything I write here comes from my own experience, knowledge that I gained by reading books and on the internet. If I would literally copy someone's info, I would do my best to link it of course! Do you spot typos or do you have other concerns, let me know! Have fun reading! I've only just started writing English blogs since January 2021, that's why there are many Dutch blogs and not so many English ones.
