Entering California with orchids in my car
About 6 months ago, i moved from San Diego to Kentucky with my orchids. In a few days, i'm moving back to California- driving with about 11 orchids and possibly 2 very small hoyas.
I am worried about the agricultural checkpoint. Has anyone made this trip with orchids before? Is there anything i can do to minimize the risk of having my plants seized? 5 of them are mounted and 6 are potted in bark, they all appear healthy, and none of them have ever lived outside. I know shipping them would be ideal, and thought about shipping the mounted ones and some smaller ones, but i have no idea how to safely package them, and i really can't afford the shipping costs anyway.
Has anyone successfully gotten their orchids through the checkpoint? Any experience, info, tips will be greatly appreciated.
