Mein Partner und ich fuhren von Dallas nach Seattle und hatten unser gesamtes Werk in unserem fahrenden Lastwagen. Wir haben alle bewässert, bevor wir am Montagmorgen abreisten und sie aus dem Lastwagen herausgenommen und sie alle am Mittwochnachmittag ausgepackt haben. Wir hatten Plastik, die sie bedeckten (einen Mitarbeiter in unserem örtlichen Werksgeschäft schlug dies vor), und ich denke, dass die Kondensation sie alle äußerst unglücklich ist.
Die Monster undichten eine rote Flüssigkeit (Bild 3) und alle Pflanzen sind schlaff und weich. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, sie zu retten? Ich habe sie so gut wie möglich ausgebreitet, damit sie austrocknen konnten, aber ich habe keine Ahnung, was ich sonst noch tun kann.
Jede Hilfe wäre sehr geschätzt. Vielen Dank im Voraus.

If they froze (limp and soft)… They are goners. I’m sorry! The snake plants look to be salvageable!
A lot of these might just need to be props. And try to regrow from anything salvageable… maybe get some grow lights on them for a week or so because it’s winter here and they won’t get good natural light and see if any of them make any positive progress and go from there
Oh dear, can’t say I’ve experienced anything like this 🙁 Just spitballing here, but there’s a chance some of the water inside the plant’s cells froze and caused damage to the cell walls. I would suggest propogating what you can into new plants just in case without fully sacrificing the original.
I am very sorry this happened to you. What a tragedy! I once lost a bunch of my favorite plants by accidentally leaving them out in the hot sun for too long. Hope you’re able to salvage something here.
All you can do is remove anything soft/squishy before it rots and hope some of them might come back from the roots.
Happily, there’s a good chance at least a few of them will come back from the roots of the soil didn’t freeze.
Darn…i can only offer this 🫂 virtual hug and sone virtual tea and cookies 🫖🍵🍪🍪🍪 for comfort
You can only check if something is left in the soil, some stems and roots 🥲 so sorry for your vegetal babies 😞
😭😭 omg I would be so devastated. I don’t have any advice but hope they are salvageable. Please keep us updated.
So sorry this happened. What I would do is cut back anything that is dead and hope the roots
Will regrow.
I have lost one of my babies in Fort Worth, TX due to a freak drop in temperature and my plant was living it’s best life in the humid warm weather, outside. I also wrapped it up in plastic, due to the wall of fog and ice, everything froze like a glazed donut, kept it on the porch, and she still couldn’t take that change in temperature, oxygen, and humidity. It was an umbrella tree, shefflera (?), and she was mature and strong, as well… So, maybe 🤔 the plastic wraps aren’t a good idea? And, if you just moved, maybe there’s not enough space for a bunch of propagating plants. It might be time to start over, so that might be fun.
I killed all of my plants doing this. I moved from Virginia to Texas in the coldest part of the year and by the time I got to Texas, every plant I had was dead. I should have left them behind.
This is classic cold damage. The employee was right to suggest covering them, though. Your best option is to do literally nothing. Put them in the proper spots throughout your home and care for them as normal. Some of them will most likely
survive—the snakes, and the monstera, the hoya, the epi, but the ivy (i think thats what that is, its hard to tell from here) and anything else with delicate stems may not. Keep your home warm and hope for the best, I wish you and your plants luck.
Thankfully, these are all replaceable. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but worst comes to worst, im sure people would be more than willing to give you cuttings of theirs as these are all very common plants. Avoid trying to propagate except for an absolute last resort as that will increase stress and may not even result in successful props due to the health of the mother(s).
Looks like frost damage. If it is, there’s no saving them unfortunately
This post breaks my heart 😭
My monstera once froze to the soil line in its pot and it came back. It’s like 4’ tall rn
Plant freezes and the capillaries burst. It’s dead…on a cellular level. 😞
Poor guys. They have frost damage. The plant cells crystallized and ruptured the cell walls. The foliage that is squishy is not salvageable but sometimes the roots are still intact enough for them to come back. This happened to my plants in fort worth because I left them on the windowsill during a freeze 🙁
Im sorry for your loss.
Maybe take two or three that might be viable and cut them back hard. Major TLC from there.
I moved from Texas to SF and this happened to me I would cut them all at the stem
I moved from phoenix to Indiana. I too placed my plants in the back of my truck. For almost a year they were dormant and had one leaf. I trimmed them back to the healthiest one alive, now they are back and thriving. It took time and care. But my ZZ plant bounced back and is half of what it once was, but still healthy.
Omg. Washington state here. None of those plants can be outside. Remove everything soft and dead and see if any of the stems/root systems made it.
As a person in Texas wanting to and moving this summer— I would be happy to send you some cuttings if you tell me what you had. I have hoyas, every pothos, prayer plant, alocasia 🫠🫠🫠 so sorry this happened, friend 🩶
Im sorry this happened to you. Your plants froze and are dead. Nothing to be done but start over.
Anything soft and thin like a monstera or peace lily etc is likely unsalvageable. Cut at the base and hope for a miracle. Succulents and cacti can usually take a shot colder temperatures sparingly and still survive. If they aren’t mushy you are safe.
Ah this is sad, I’m sorry. We lost a few plants on a cross country move too. Anything with a green leaf and stem try to prop. There are a couple of stems and leaves in the pictures that look healthy enough. Also be prepared that some of the plants that you can salvage might not adapt to the new climate or house. We’ve moved a lot and even a local move can lose a fussy plant or two.
I’m heartbroken for you. I’m so sorry. 😞
It’s super smart to use meth pipes as lil waterers!
For future reference, is it better to move plants when freshly watered, or dry? I’m moving in 2 weeks (across town, not country)
Almost all the plants: 😞😭🫠☠️
Snake plant: 😤💪🏃➡️🌅
