Do It Now Moving Services moves plants. Small and medium houseplants travel in dedicated packing bags that keep the pot upright, the soil contained, and your plant alive through the heat of a South Florida move. We serve homes in Kendall, Doral, Coral Gables, Tamiami, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, and surrounding South Miami-Dade neighborhoods.

How We Pack and Transport Your Plants

Specialized Packing Bags

Each plant goes into a dedicated bag sized for its pot. The bag wraps around the base, holds the pot in place, and prevents soil from shifting or spilling during the drive. We bring these bags to every move in Kendall and South Miami-Dade.

Separate Loading Zone

We load plants in a designated section of the truck, away from heavy furniture and boxes that shift during the drive. A shifting box can snap a stem or crack a pot. The plant section stays protected.

Fast Transit in South Florida Heat

Miami-Dade summers hit 90 to 95 degrees with 80 percent humidity. Plants in a stationary truck deteriorate fast. Most moves between Kendall, Doral, and surrounding neighborhoods run 20 to 40 minutes of driving time. We sequence the job so plants spend the minimum time in the truck.

What to Do Before Moving Day

Water your plants two days before the move, not the night before. Wet soil is heavier and spills more easily. Trim dead leaves and overgrown stems. A more compact plant is easier to bag and less likely to break in transit. Set your plants aside from the rest of your belongings when our crew arrives. We load them last at the origin and first at the destination. Tell us you have plants when you book. We bring the right bags and adjust the loading plan accordingly.

Which Plants Travel Well on Local Moves

From moving homes across Kendall, Doral, and South Miami-Dade, these varieties handle local moves consistently well: pothos and philodendrons (resilient, flexible stems, easy to bag), snake plants (upright and sturdy, excellent bag candidates), succulents and cacti (minimal water needs, compact and easy to secure), peace lilies (do well when kept upright and out of direct sun), and small fiddle leaf figs (manageable at smaller sizes when bagged carefully). Very large planters, 6-foot statement plants, and heavy ceramic pots require a different approach. Mention them when you book.
