I think this forum should be under general CP question, but to answer your question, first we need to know how big they are, and if they are in individual pots. If they are in individual pots and not too big, you could try putting them in a clear plastic tub and tightly packing newspapers around the base of the pots so they don't move, and keep them in the cabin of the car or whatever so they don't get baked into a crisp. With some of the more delicate plants, you could tape a clear plastic cup over the plant, like what California carnivores does when it ships plants. Tell us how they faired during the move, and good luck!

the VFTs have 9" pots and the the tropical is in a 28" pot around. i forgot to add that the purple pitchers and the sundew had those Death Cubes that i forgot to throw away and i guess i could use those. any subgestions?  i really don't want to kill them.  |

It worked OK and none of my plants died. Ieats100, you might need more then one bucket, but this will keep them for getting flattened or beat up. Just have to make sure they don't flip over or fall on its side. Williamg |

9 hour car trips are nothing  imagine what they go through in the mail for 2-3 days or more good to hear your plants made it fine |
