Houseplants

Living things need air, light and water, so you should not put them in a moving truck. Check that your plant will thrive in your new house. Indoor plants are usually tougher, but some might react to different humidity levels in your new place.

Heavy Items

Put bulky things like books in little boxes and lighter things in bigger boxes. This helps movers arrange and load boxes into the moving truck. Make sure to pack heavier things on the lower part and lighter things on the upper part to prevent breaking fragile items.

Always wrap delicate items in bubble wrap or paper. It is wise to cover the dishes with paper beforehand.
