Don\u2019t uproot everything just yet. First, you\u2019ll need to ensure your plants are actually cleared to accompany you across the border. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s consider California: the Golden State is known for being particularly strict at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/plant\/PE\/ExteriorExclusion\/borders_faq.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">border inspections for plant materials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The CDFA (California Department of Food and Agriculture) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/plant\/pe\/InteriorExclusion\/houseplant_FAQ.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strongly discourages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bringing citrus plants, pine trees, and fruit or nut trees in from out of state. You can only bring those miniature Meyer lemon and fig trees with you if they\u2019ve been thoroughly quarantined. Additionally, all houseplants entering the state must have been grown completely indoors. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wherever you\u2019re relocating to, check that you\u2019re following the stipulations set by your new state\u2019s Department of Agriculture. And if you plan on bringing fruit trees, double-check the areas along your driving route, too. Some regions won\u2019t even allow certain plants to pass through their borders due to quarantines or potential pest problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Prep Your Plants in Advance of Your Move<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3043\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sun-hat-protection-uv-radiation-scissors-162443-moving-plants-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sun-hat-protection-uv-radiation-scissors-162443-moving-plants-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sun-hat-protection-uv-radiation-scissors-162443-moving-plants-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sun-hat-protection-uv-radiation-scissors-162443-moving-plants-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/sun-hat-protection-uv-radiation-scissors-162443-moving-plants.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the weeks leading up to your relocation, give your plants a thorough pruning.

This will make them lighter to lift \u2013 a definite bonus if you have a long move, and need to take your plants inside overnight with you.

Before you begin, have some fresh potting mix, a watering can, pruning scissors, and an appropriately-sized (plastic) planter handy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesill.com\/blogs\/care-miscellaneous\/plant-care-repotting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a simple, 10-step guide from The Sill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on how to repot almost any houseplant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it\u2019s time to load up your car or moving truck, check that the vehicle is set to a comfortable temperature. The exact range depends on the plant variety, though the majority of plants do well <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/gardening\/houseplants\/care\/houseplant-temperature-guidelines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wait until everything else is packed, then place your plants in the moving vehicle last.

That\u2019s generally the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardeningknowhow.com\/garden-how-to\/info\/plant-dormancy.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dormant period<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for plants, when they\u2019re likelier to survive exposure to less-than-ideal conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if that time frame isn\u2019t possible, not to worry. A few extra precautions will keep your plants happy during the move. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might help to think of your plant as a person. Just like humans, plants can only withstand so much exposure to either end of extreme weather conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you\u2019re moving in the cold, keep your plants warm and dry. Give them their final watering a couple days before the move, and don\u2019t risk exposing plants to the outside chill. After you\u2019ve repotted (using the steps from #3), wrap the entire plant in newspaper. Additionally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/projects\/gardening-and-outdoor\/transport-plants-in-cold-weather\/project\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lowe\u2019s recommends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adding a layer of cardboard or newspaper on the floor of the vehicle for extra insulation when moving plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, if you\u2019re <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relocating plants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the summer, your biggest concern will be overheating. Check in on the soil throughout the move to ensure plants aren\u2019t thirsty. And if you&#8217;re driving, don\u2019t leave your plants parked in the heat for longer than an hour \u2013 or at least crack the window, to let in fresh air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re making overnight stops during your move, don\u2019t leave your potted pals behind! Bring your plants inside with you whenever possible to help them escape the extreme temperatures. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b> If It\u2019s Not Possible to Move Your Plants, Consider Donating Them<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3046\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/succulents-hands-woman-female-442404-moving-plants-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/succulents-hands-woman-female-442404-moving-plants-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/succulents-hands-woman-female-442404-moving-plants-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/succulents-hands-woman-female-442404-moving-plants-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/succulents-hands-woman-female-442404-moving-plants.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving internationally?
