Just remember that your plants need time to adjust and recuperate from re-potting, so do this a few weeks in advance of the move.

Purchase some floral tubes, fill them with water, then cap them. This should ensure that your cuttings arrive ready for your new garden.

Houseplants are extremely fragile and are very likely to suffer from the move. Some moving companies will not even allow plants on their vans. Ask before your move if the Removal company has any rules on plants.
