I’m moving internationally in the next few months, and am coming to realize I have never moved with plants! Is it possible to move with my plants? I imagine I have to consider things like quarantine and such, but I have a snake plant that I basically raised from the dead and have had for seven years so the idea of leaving him behind makes me all kinds of sad. Do I need to just gift them to other plant moms?

    Propagating plants is different for each one. I’d recommend taking multiple cuttings each and then gifting the original plants someone you like. Here’s a guide on how to take the according cuttings.
