The trip would take 3 really long days in a dark moving truck & it was the end of winter for us in Texas but still very cold where we were going . I had to find a way to move all of the Av's, keep them warm, moist & intact so they would arrive in their new home as pretty as they had left Texas.

I thought & thought about it & finally decided I needed really large terrariums..lol They can stay at a constant temp forever & would provide the right environment, minus the light of course.

So how to find the right "terrarium" for these beauties. Aquariums would work but they were heavey & expensive & I had lots of plants to move, so I was shopping & happen to see those large clear plastic containers at Wal Mart used for storage under beds... Ah ha!!! The price was right & I prayed really hard they were deep enough. I bought 2 and went home. I layed several smaller plantlets & rooted leaves in them & they worked perfectly!
