How to Rehome a Houseplant Before You Move
A simple step-by-step checklist for finding your plants a safe, loving new home before moving day.
Planning Ahead for Your Green Companions
Moving house is notoriously stressful, but it’s often even harder on our plants. If you are downsizing, relocating across borders, or simply unable to fit your collection in the moving truck, finding them a new home is the kindest path.
The Step-by-Step Moving Checklist
1. Categorize Your Collection (2 Weeks Out)
Take an inventory of your plants and split them into must keep, gift list, and rehome queue.
2. Inspect and Prepare (10 Days Out)
Trim dead foliage, wipe leaves, and inspect for pests.
3. Take Clear Photos and List Online (7 Days Out)
Create listings specifying if pot is included and deadline for pickup.
4. Coordinate Handoff (3 Days Out)
Schedule pickups before the moving truck arrives for a relaxed exchange.
