Tips for Moving Plants

Plants are sometimes like friends to their owners. They water them, talk to them and play music for them in some cases. Plants are really good indoors for the fresh air they give us. Plus a sense of life in the house is always something to be happy about. Same thing with outdoor plants. Plus they really can make a garden or back yard very beautiful to enjoy in the warmer months.

Plants are very sensitive. When moving, some just get very shocked and drop their leaves all over the place. This seems to happen a lot with fig plants.

At Ferguson Moving & Storage we sometimes recommend clients leave some of their plants for the new homeowners or neighbours. If we do need to move them, a waiver is signed because we need to consider the risk a household move has on a house plants health.

We specialize in moving but sometimes plants and their pots just are not designed to be moved. If you are making a long-distance move, the plants will die because they will have no light for several days and up to two weeks.
