Plants Kept In The Dark

[hellywelly4]

I hope to be moving house in the next couple of weeks, but will probably have to go into a hotel until my purchase is completed. That's fine, but as I have quite a lot of plants, I wondered whether they would be OK in storage, in cardboard boxes, for the time I'm in the hotel, might be 2-3 weeks. I've got several Christmas cactus type plants, one is absolutely huge, and two Cymbideum orchids.

Can't you take them to the hotel, hellywelly?

[hellywelly4]

They are really too big, at least Christmas Cactus is.

I'd ask a friend or relative to look after them.

They won't like the dark. Definitely ask someone to mind them for you

I doubt it would kill them especially if they are kept cool but they might be a bit sad for a while.

I've had a word with the removals company and they aren't allowed to keep indoor plants anyway, so I will ask a friend to have them. Thanks for your replies.

[Tilly2]

Good. They'll be much happier with your friend.
