We will be moving from Olympia in Western Washington to Sacramento in
Northern California during the last week of September. We have a
variety of house plants that we are very fond of and would like to take
with us. It takes about 12 hours by car. We have a couple of Subaru
Foresters (mini SUVs) that we will be driving. The temperatures on the
way will be in the 80's and 90's. What steps should we take to ensure
that the plants survive the drive? Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

From the FAQ, you will note that a special concern is about "house
plants" that are actually plants that can grow outside in mild-winter
climates. In cold-winter climates, such plants are kept inside in the
winter and set outside in the summer.

Also, prohibited would be plants growing in my do-it-yourself potting
mix even though the mix was developed by the University of California.

Agriculture is a very, very important business in California. The state
is trying to protect that industry from plant pests and diseases.
