Yep, that is why I sent it. On re-reading what I posted I see that I said
"serious about you not bringing in plants" when what I meant was serious
about checking for what you bring in (they may or may not let you bring in
your plant)... sorry about that. DK

I forgot to add that the border people are really serious about you not
bringing plants into CA. Unless you have a serious attachment to your
house
plants I would really consider not taking them. Houseplants are easy
and
inexpensive to get in CA (or anywhere now with places like Home Depot).
They also thrive and grow quickly if you have them outside most of the
year
so you can start with small plants and have something large in short
order.
Your pots are probably more of an investment then the plants (and this
is
coming from someone who moved plants from CA to NJ to CT to NY).... DK

This site and the agents I've been emailing have said that you CAN bring
in houseplants. They have to be declared at the border, and an agent
may or may not actually inspect them.
