Moving live plants can be a challenging process. Live plants are typically difficult to pack and protect during the moving process. In fact, there is even a law which prohibits moving a plant in a moving truck or van.

For these reasons, the best way to move your live plants is in the vehicle that you are driving. Keeping your plants in the car or the cab of your truck has several benefits. It allows you to keep track of your plants health and protection during transport.

Additionally, many plants will not survive a move in the back of a moving truck due to lack of light, water, temperature changes or other conditions that might shock the plant and cause it to die or become damaged.

It is a good idea to support large plants with a post or stick in order to protect the plant’s stem structure. Also don’t forget to protect the plants pot/vase, especially if made from a fragile material.
