Yes, I realize what you meant to say earlier! I'm still trying to decide
if I am going to bareroot them and have them go that way or leave them in
their pots (perhaps putting them in fresh Miracle Gro potting soil).

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)....

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.
