HOW BIG IS THE PLANT?The larger the plant, the more difficult it is to move. Besides the fact that a large plant can weigh quite a bit, you don't want to damage it. Bind the leaves together for large plants, or ask them if they can pack them for transport. This can be done by wrapping a piece of plastic or paper around it so the leaves stay compactly together. Smaller plants can be put in a box or bag for transport. WHAT KIND OF WEATHER IS IT OUTSIDE?You don't want your plant to get cold while being transported, so it's best to wrap it and keep it out of the wind. Plants can be damaged from the cold. This is also one of the reasons that online plant shops do not ship in freezing temperatures and/or add a heat pack. WHAT MODE OF TRANSPORTATION ARE YOU ON?Are you traveling by car or public transportation? Or by bike? Pack your plant appropriately and again take into account the weather conditions, do not put your plant in your bicycle basket in cold temperatures. But don't put it against the heater of your car either.
And finally you find him the appropriate place. You can of course just put it where you like it, but chances are that will not work. Inform yourself about the best place for your plant, more info about light can be found here. PLANTS BY MAILWhen you choose to purchase plants online they usually come to you by postal package. Packing a plant properly for shipping is an art and very important, once it arrives it is best to let the plant acclimate in the box for a while before unpacking it. Then do the same as described above when you get it home. Enjoy your new plant! Planning to send plants yourself? Read my tips & download my FREE plant proof shipping labels here. Did you like it?

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.
