When you move, you will be ushering in a new chapter in your life and starting fresh as you place yourself in a new home with the help of Dallas movers. If you have a green thumb, some of your plants may hold a near and dear place in your heart. There are a few tips to make sure your plants stays safe during the lengthy transplanting process.

How to uproot from the ground
HGTV suggests that when you uproot a wooded plant, you use the "rule of 18" to gauge the diameter of the root ball (the area of soil you dig up that the roots are in). First, measure a foot up on the plant's trunk, then from there find out the diameter of the plant. This number should be multiplied by 18, and that measurement will determine the size your root ball.
For easier uprooting, you can perform this process months before you move, but fill the trench in with compostables like leaves and grass clippings. This will force the plant's roots to grow within the root ball, so when moving day comes your plant will be self-contained and able to sustain itself as it is taken away from the ground.

Water on the way
Some plants can go a long time without being watered, while others require constant attention. If you are trying to make good time, you may not be able to stop often. Keep a gallon of water with you so you can give your plant a drink as necessary. The Moving Planner Blog, suggests you keep a plastic bag around the plant to prevent leaking water from making a mess, and that you tape the mouth of the bag around the plant's stem to keep the soil in.
