   Don,

   With a little planning your can successfully move your peace lily, but it will go through a bit of process. First water make sure the peace lily has been watered before you leave baton rouge. You want the soil to be moist not soggy for the trip. If possible transport the peace lily in the interior of the car where the temperature will be more consistent. If you can't transport it in the interior try to place it where the temperature will not become extremely cold or hot. When you stop for the night and the local weather overnight forecast is under forty five take the peace lily inside with you or make sure that it has insulation around it like a towel. Usually if you have packed it in a U-haul or trunk with other things, the other items will act as insulation. When you arrive at your destination place the peace lily in the same environment it was in Baton Rouge. Do keep it out of any air drafts. Your peace lily will start to show signs of shock. Don't panic! Leave it alone and water it only when the soil starts to dry out and don't fertilize for a couple of weeks. In a couple of weeks you peace lily will have acclimated to its new location.
