Planning a move back to campus? Getting your houseplants home safely is one of the most rewarding challenges a student gardener faces. To move houseplants home to campus safely, start 7–10 days before your trip by inspecting each plant for pests and pruning any damaged foliage. Pack pots in sturdy boxes lined with crumpled newspaper, seal exposed soil with plastic wrap, and transport everything in a climate-controlled environment — ideally keeping temperatures between 60 and 75°F throughout transit.
