How To Fly On An Airplane With Houseplants! Traveling With Plants As Carry On!

- Recently I took a trip to NYC & I bought some houseplants! I thought it may help ease some minds to see the process of packaging & flying with plants as a carry on. I was soooo nervous the first time I bought new indoor plants & had to fly with them, but it really is such an easy straight forward process & a lot of people do it! So don't worry, friend. You got this (: Buy that new plant because it will be a great travel companion home. :P

If someone were to go a little overboard shopping for plants far away (hand raised) and you cannot possibly fit them under a plane seat, one could simply mail them home. (I would not want them in cargo, if that is even allowed.)
YES! I forgot to mention that as well. I'm going to pin your comment so more people see (:
does this work internationally?
@@XPrincess30 No. You have to look up what the rules are for living things entering whatever country you are from. Many places have rules and they are all different. Try it without checking and complying and your package could be seized and destroyed. You will NOT be reimbursed for your loss.
@@XPrincess30 I thought she was flying from the USA to the UK 🇺🇸 ➡ 🇬🇧??
this is plant love on another level. WOWzers.. might it not be slightly easier to order seeds instead?
I brought plants home from Wisconsin last year. They stopped me at security and tested the soil. I guess this grandmother of 3 looks shady. Ha Ha
Elizabeth Duecker HAHAHAHA
I know your video was about domestic travel, but an addition would be to remember to find out about the import regulations when traveling internationally. You don't want to end up in a situation where you have bought something nice and pretty and not be allowed to bring it to the country. And those rules are super important anyway to keep invading species, pests and plant disease away from local plants.
I think that here, in Greece, we have extra strict import plant rules, most of the EU nurseries won't ship to Greece and the ones that do, usually send them barerooted. There are even a few tv ads regarding importing plants and how dangerous that is.
I was about to comment the same thing! Bringing plants from one country to another is either very difficult and requires planning an paperwork and permits, or is prohibited entirely. Don't go to a different country expecting to bring home plants with you!!!
Travel by train through Europe and buy plants if you live in Europe? I know with international flight its very strict. I have to agree with traveling flight internationally, almost everything is forbidden. I understand the hazard, because some insects eat entire crops of vegetables of that country, which cause economic value lose.
@@orginaljun Yes, this! I have brought various plants home (Switzerland) from my Interrail travels (travelling through Europe by train) including a 1.3 meter tall ficus elastica tineke! I've earned some funny looks but nobody said a thing (including customs that walked through the train when passing borders) :)
@@pepitalosquita1317 im in Domincan Republic so i wouldnt be able to take succulents back home to CA?
Harley I love your sense of humor, don't change love your video. You should try cup holder that you get from fast food restaurants
That is a great idea! Great thinking! & thank you so much. Your comment made my day (:
I love to fly with a plant so that I can look at my green plant ( Nature) and stroke their leaves in the plane. Flying with my companion plant makes the trips much more relaxing and Fun.
I bought about 20 plants while in Florida and traveled home to Washington state. My carry-on and personal bag were both filled. My state agricultural regulations require all plants coming into the state domestically have no soil and could not be from an outdoor nursery. So, all my plants came home in wet paper towels. All the plants did fine 🙂 and I saved hundreds because plants are cheaper in Florida. And TSA had no issues with the plants.
Yay! They made it home unscathed. My husband complains that I have too many. So I had to go get more. Our bedroom has 14 plants now. Muahahah!
Joyce Theobald HAHAHA that’ll teach him 😂😜
As a fellow crazy plant lover I really appreciate this video! I will definitely keep this in mind for when I travel in the future! 🌱
Yes! Thank you for taking the time to watch. I am glad it was helpful for you (:
I recently traveled with houseplants and packed them in my checked bag and they arrived just fine. I remember seeing a blog post about someone who travelled to an orchid show who brought two extra checked bags just for their new orchids lol. Depending on the states you're travelling to/from, you definitely need to know about any kind of restrictions for plant travel also!
Also funny coincidence but that exact wee begonia was one of the plants I travelled with also
Thanks for the tips about the airplane I had know idea I always would ship my plants back home. Now I know that I can bring them on the plane now the challenge is going to be narrowing down my plants.
Tameka Hill the narrowing down part is no fun 😭
Harli you are so funny😂. Good job getting your babies home. I wish I could do that internationally. Oh well,just have to seek out my plants right at home. Enjoy your new plants.😊
I feel you! I wish I could go to Costa Rica or something & bring home everything :( I mean, you can it's just such a crazy process to do. Maybe I will try doing it for a future video?
I've been waiting for this vid since you mentioned it in your previous one. I'm traveling to SF next week and I might MIGHT get some plants and was not too sure if I can actually bring plants back. Glad to know about tips/tricks! Thank you! 😄🌱🌱🌱
Oh heck yes! LMK if you bring anything home (:
Look at you saving the day ✊🏾 Thanks
Glad you made it and are reunited with your babies!👍 I loved watching all the youthful energy of your preparations 😊 Us cranky old geezers usually just say "This is my departure date. Do you ship?" when we plant shop on the road 😂 Then you can even get the tree! 😉👍
Peter Cardona haha that’s a method for sure 😋 shipping plants is so stressful to me though!
Thanks for the video. I am moving across the country soon and really want to take my succulent, that I have had for 3 years, on the plane with me. Her leaves are pretty delicate so I’m crossing my fingers that the trip won’t destroy her.
I'm happy they stayed nice and warm too!
Diana Boedecker me too! I was kind of worried because it snowed a lot!
Thank you! Got a variegated monstera and super freaked out about killing it before I even get it home! This helps a lot. Thanks again!
Glad your home Harli and your plant babies made it with minimal damage. I didn't know you could travel with plants. I love all the ones you got. Looks like you had fun on your trip with your sister. I bet you are happy to see your plant babies, and your fur babies look like they missed you too. Get some rest and I will see you in your next video, bye for now.
Holly Hasegawa Nielson thanks so much Holly! It makes me feel so good that my dogs miss me so much honestly! I will be uploading a new video tomorrow now that I’ve rested up a bit 😋
Watching old videos and cracking up about what prices were “high” at the time hehe
Thanks so much for posting. Incorporated inspo from you so that I could successfully fly home w two live plants from Savannah, ga. I thought supporting the soil/foliage was a great idea, I personally used an extra bag from the store. Take care!!
Happy every plant made it home for you and your dogs are happy too!!!
This is the energy we want!!! You're a total gem. Stoked you got new babies (and hope they are thriving still!) you probably won't see this in time but if you do.... tomorrow I travel with a HOLIDAY BOQUET ha! Complete surprise delivery but when I'll be gone for 15 days it will definitely die before I'm home!
So here's my thinking- because he's 14 inches tall.... we are going in stowaway bins overhead. Scary, but I have a solid plan - i think. I am thinking I use your paper napkin + tissue paper method, since it's floral foam I am lucky but I'm still going to drain the pot just in case it has a water lake inside. I am also going to also put the base in a cardboard box (if I have to make it custom, I will make it and one for the top of the bouquet as it is MAD DELICATE as well so it's a snug little situation for travel for it.) Also going to go the extra mile and opt for additional legroom so I can stow my bag first AND I'll be taping on a notecard saying FRAGILE THIS END UP, PLEASE DO NOT FLIP BAG TO WHEELS OUT THANK YOU!!! so HOPEFULLY it gets there.
Would attach a photo but just think xmas style bouquet with white carnations creating a little bear (complete with eyes and a santa hat), red carnations, ferns and fir foliage with a string of gold glitter balls as ornaments in a nutcracker drum ceramic pot!
You are literally the best. I'm so excited to travel now and check out greenhouses and nurseries. I would have never thought to bring them with me on the plane.
Jungle Queen omg thank you! You are actually the best though 😭 ❤️
Soo glad you made it home safely with your lovely plants and your dogs were very happy to see you. Thanks for sharing this very helpful video.
Thanks so much for watching Kathy! I'm happy to be back. It's so hard to film while not at home :P
I already subscribe to you but I didn’t know you had a video about this! Just googled it because I bought a Florida ghost in Miami and I’m flying back to Austin today and your video popped up. This came in so handy!
So helpful! Will definitely come in handy! Thanks for sharing Harli!
Deya thank you Deya! ❤️
I have done that recently when I flew from Virginia to Wisconsin . I was able to bring 5 kinds of plants . I have used paper bags and at the bottom I had to put a cardboard to make the paper hardy enough . I was question only one time because of my shoulder bag and my other hand carry but when I told the guy it’s my lunch . He let me board then I immidiately sit down in my seat and get my plants in the corner where no one care .
THANK YOU! I am leaving for college soon, but it's wayyyyy too friggin hot where I am (Texas) to ship my 5 plants. I think this could work for my backpack (carry-on)! It has a different pocket where I can keep entertainment/snacks, and I can slide an extra bit of cardboard against the pocket wall for extra insurance. (I'm just happy I listened to parental advice and kept my collection small 💀)
THANK U SO MUCH UR A LIFE SAVER! IM 14 AND I WAS SO CONFLICTED BECAUSE IM MOVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE MY BABYS THANKS TO U I DONT :)
I’m so glad your trip was excellent and your new plants are too!
Patricia Lisowski thanks Patricia! ❤️
🥺Thank you so much for the video, was looking to buy a gift for my girlfriends mom as she heads back home, i was just worried that the plants wont make it in high altitude but all is well thanks again 🧘🏿♂️🌱
awesome sauce, glad the babes made it home!!
Shawna Cushaway thanks Shawna! Me too!
Thank you!!!! Your video helped me figure out how to travel with few house plants overseas. You are the best
Oh Happy Valentine's day
Tameka Hill you too! Thank you! ❤️💖💕
Once i carried my bamboo and zz plant from Pakistan to Saudia .. but instead of soil I used wet cotton around the roots and then wraped it with plastic .. and plants safely arrived to the destination ❤ without any issue on airport ..
I'm going to Colorado soon and I'll be visiting the botanical gardens there, which means I will definitely need this video. So thanks in advance!
Good to know coz i 'am planning to carry houseplants to international flight.thank you for sharing
It’s different for international flights! The examples I’m talking about in the vid are for domestic flights.
Great video & thanks for all your tips! Will definitely do this if I travel on a plane w/plants!
Janie Harvey thanks for taking the time to watch! 💕
Harli G I always enjoy watching your videos!💞
Fantastic Video Harli... great info.🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
Excellent video! If I would’ve known this last fall when I flew to Maine! I definitely will be taking some home next time! Thanks so much!🌱🌸😬
YES! It's so easy to manage (:
Its mean we can bring to others country this plants ❤️
Flying with plant cuttings hopefully tomorrow I hope they don’t take them away I’m going from Orlando to Cleveland
thank you so much !!! i’m moving soon and i didn’t wanna leave all my little plants behind!
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻

Disposable cups with flat lids to stack
Great tips on traveling with them!
ahh I want a cutting of that monstera adansonii I have been looking for a Swiss cheese vine for so long
Emily Baldwin I have my fingers crossed you find one soon! 🤞🏽
This was so helpful! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks! Now, I will know what to do instead of mailing the plants I purchase when I travel.
I'm obsessed with the shirt you are wearing in the last half of this video, where did you get it?
Thank You For Sharing, Angel Blessings. Did not know this.
Robert Hartley thank you Robert ❤️
Very helpful!
Jan Alexander thanks for taking the time to watch! ❤️
Great tips! Thanks for sharing 😀
Maria Chairez thanks Maria!
So I don't know why I didn't even think of sharing this with you before but I recently just purchased this for in case I kinda forget to water my plants when I'm away. Is called a hydro spike got it from amazon prime ill share on your inst if I can send it to ya 😍 thanks for all the tips I hope I can do this soon when I go visit my island PR 💕
Thank you so much for that! I love that idea. Hydro spikes would really help keep track of some of the finicky plants that need watered more as well! You're the best (:
Harli G no prob I love watching you ❤️
@@carmillevendetti368 were you able to bring them back to US from puertorico?
Yes
Thank you for this. I needed it. Also when you repot can you video it? Pleaseeeeee...
Narda Alston I’ll film & upload the potting tomorrow! ❤️
Super helpful video! I’m going to Florida for a business trip, planning to shop for some plants as well. I wonder if they’ll say anything about it.
Hey harli!!
Love your vids! You're so hilarious.
Do you know if canadians can purchase houseplants in the USA and travel back to canada on the plane? I hear they must be de soiled..bare rooted. I'm in FL and bought 4 plants. Travelling back home Wednesday and I'm soo nervous.
Hey Laina! How did it work out bringing plants into canada? Were you able to keep them? I'm going to the US and I'm hoping to bring back some houseplants but I'm worried about them being seized! Is bare-root fine? I hope it works out!
@@cutetip3 it worked out perfect. No issues at all when I went through inspections. They just recorded the names of the plants. I'm so happy. Goodluck.
@@LP-ch8vn That's so great to hear! I'm glad it worked out so easily! I can't wait to bring some new plants back too! :)
That rare pep is sitting in my living room dead .. lol
Mine ended up that way too. The little shits hate me 🥲
@@HarliG I just bought 10 little peperomia babies over the weekend and I'm obsessed.... I'm looking at them the way a new mother looks at her child after giving birth... (I'm guessing) I can't get over their cuteness.
Great tips!
Thanks for watching Carolina!
You can buy baby trees that will grow big. Under 20in
Hi. We live in London. We came to India in the month of February and got the covid locked down. I developed love for greens and decorating my mother's home with so many plants. Im learning how to take care of them with many try and error. Im doing pretty well.
Now, im so attached to them that i know i will miss them when i go back. I want to take some of my favourites one with me. There are many plants which can be propagated from leaves. I want to take leaves as will take less space. Is it possible? If yes, please let me know how to do that safely.
Thank you.... your video is very helpful 😊
Axel @7:00 ❤
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for making this video !!!! very helpful :-)
Thank you so much for watching!
super useful post. I'm moving back home and flying is way cheaper and less complicated except for the plant part. I have two tall-ish plants (skinny 12 inch pair of avocado trees). and 2 bushy (10 in diameter each) plants. plus pothos that are in water only. any suggestions? it's a 1.5 hour direct flight. so hoping as long as I can camouflage the taller ones as I board - once we're in the air, I can sneak them upright, maybe blocking the view with my legs....?
I'll be travelling to Cyprus soon and I'm wondering whether I could bring some plants with me. If I do, this video will be superuseful!!
P.s. I checked and I probably can't without permit, phytosanitary and more paperwork, so boo... :/
Yes yes yes I absolutely needed this!!! Only thing is, I'm flying a Marimo with me :/ Hopefully I can find a way to get him through tsa
Aidan Bell can the Marimo survive the flight without water?
Aidan Bell wrap it in a damp paper towel & put it in a ziploc! That’s what I would do 😊💕
@@HarliG aaaah thank you so much!! 💜🌿
thank you!!!
Love love love your videos! But sometimes I do wish there were some close ups of the plants. I realise this would mean more work (especially editing) but maybe sometimes?.. xx
Maria Sudermann thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it. I will start including close up shots of the plants from here on out. ❤️
Bring my plants on my trip today 😬
Very good
Thank you very much!
Curious how this would work flying into California. When you drive here from Arizona, you are stopped at the border and questioned whether you have plants (or fruits and vegetables) in your car. Their concern is about bugs and disease affecting the agriculture in the state.
Bernie A. That’s actually a really good question! I’ll be heading to
California soon so maybe I will attempt it & see what happens!
I have a dragon fruit plant that is 2 inches. im going 3 weeks, so I like to get it with me
I have a question, what if someone were to have over 30 plants (that would be me), big and small, and and needed to move them all to another country in Europe? Would that many plants be allowed on a plane? I tried to find anything on it online but everything I found is only about one or two plants that people can carry in their hands or about one big plant. Could you provide any tips on that or maybe direct me to someone who would be able to help?
Heyo, do you have any suggestions for someone using a backpack as their personal luggage piece
Hi I was thinking of flying with a monstera deliciosa propagation. if it’s too tall and I package it well do you think I would be fine putting it on it’s side under the seat?
I've never traveled with plants on a domestic flight in Mexico. Even though rules can be different US, how do you manage to pass through security checkpoints with no issues?
My Nursery channel
what is the first plant you showed called?
Think very
Girl, where is your shirt from? It's so cute!
Urban Outfitters! I think they still have it in stock! I just checked & here is the link to it (: www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/future-state-flower-chart-tee?category=graphic-tees-for-women&color=012&type=REGULAR
So I live in Utah too and I I am looking for a monstera adansonii and a string of hearts. But anything that is close to me doesn’t have it! I tried Sun River Gardens (an awesome place I highly recommend) and I tried a local nursery near me, and cactus and tropical. Where did you get yours?
I just ordered a Monstera Adansonii from NSE Tropicals - hasn't been shipped yet nsetropicals.com/store/p143/Monstera_adansonii.html
More educational videos pls!
What about in Hawaii? My fiancé and I are going on our honeymoon next weekend and I know they have strict regulations about bringing plants in and out of the islands.
Madison Lucas
Hey! I live in Hawaii, I know some but not a ton as I haven’t tried to take anything out of the state! On the plane they give you an agriculture questionnaire when entering into the state, you have to declare a whole variety of things. As for things leaving there are some things like plumerias that you can find packaged and ready to go. I’m not 100% sure but I think they are so cautious because of our various insects. Honestly if you are planning on buying plants you might want to ask TSA or take a look at the Hawai’i.gov link.
Hope this helps!

@harliG you packaged it better than hirts 😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I had the same rippled peperomia, just in red, but had to gift it away bc I learned that where im from peperomias are named rat's-ass- plant.... (bc of how they flower) and now I can't stand peperomias 😅
When you got home and showed off you plant, what was that first one ??? I think i got one at home but I'm not sure 😂
Peperomia Obtusifolia (:
What airline? I am scared, I want to bring plant too.
If my small plant is planted in a terracotta pot can I still bring it as a carry on?
Were you allowed personal item and your purse under seat in front of you?
I can do the same with terrariums right?
Hi guys! I wonder if I can take a pot (or wrap the plants in paper and put them in carry on) with different types of succulents from California to Europe.
Was anyone in this situation? I don't want to have problems at the airport...
Hi going back home to Puerto Rico my son brought me a money tree how can I take it back home in American airlines thank you
