How To Arrange Orchids In A Suitcase?

To ensure the safety of your orchids during transport, it is essential to place them in a clay pot for stability and insert a stake to support the flowers during transport. Gently wrap the orchid in batting, florists wrapping paper, or tissue paper to protect the flowers and leaves. The TSA allows domestic airlines to handle orchids as they travel, but there are no restrictions on this.

Orchids can be taken on a plane as long as they are properly packaged and remain within the carry-on luggage limits. Check with the airline for specific regulations for their flights. Be sure to have plenty of boxes and packing material for transporting orchid plants.

A common carry-on bag should have dimensions of 22 × 14 × 9 inches.

To pack the orchids securely, have a variety of boxes of different sizes, including insulated styrofoam boxes. The luggage must be checked, and the plants must be bare root and roots wrapped in something leak-proof. No containers or containers are allowed in carry-on luggage.

Packing the orchids securely and placing them inside cardboard boxes ensures they will make it okay, even with rough conditions.
