So you just took a trip and you found an awesome plant that you want to bring home with you. Maybe bringing home an entire plant isn't an option, but you can easily bring home a cutting! Then you can grow your plant memories for years to come!
In this video I demonstrate how to take a cutting and then wrap it up so you can bring it home with you on a flight. This method is great for all sorts of tropical houseplants such as Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron, and so much more. #houseplants #propagation #plants
I did the same thing with a Thaumatopyllum (split leaved philodendron) from Disney World a couple of years ago. There was a small 12 inch sucker coming up and the hotel said they didn't care. It's now over 4 feet spread with leaves (not counting the petiole) about 15 -18 inches long. I call it Walt.
Welcome back and congratulations. A nice souvenir for sure.
Yessss!!
Nicely done video, good info esp about asking permission! I’ve found they always say yes because you ask. I still have a now large bougainvillea cutting from when I was in Arizona 5 years ago at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Plants, books, minerals=heaven! 🌿 📚 💎
Oh wow!! That’s so cool, love hearing that story!
Yes, I filled my carry on luggage and personal item (backpack) with about 30 cuttings and starter plants that I accumulated in Florida over a 2 week period. The plants were so cheap compared to where I live in Washington state, so I bought as many as I could fit in my luggage. TSA had no problem with my plants and they made the trip very well.
Yessss I love hearing that!!
Greetings, I’m planning to move in a few months from Florida. Any tips on how to pack them into carry on luggage and how to store them?
Love it!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent and very practical video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the name of your channel your apartment is so nice the hardwood floors and all the windows I didn’t know you can get a heating pad for plants that’s cool thanks for the info on how to transport your plants home see you next time
Yes! The heating pad is awesome, I use it for all my props

Now I know & feel much more confident on how to take a plant cutting and travel with them on a plane.

Ok, let talk about that wall of Burle Marx philodendron! OMG! Impressive! Gorgeous! It was very nice of the Hotel to let you take home
a cutting!
And thank you for such a detailed video on transporting cuttings. Very informative. Alway great to watch your videos! Looking forward to more fun episodes!👍
Yessss and that wasn’t even the most impressive planting either! Thanks for watching :)
Thank You for the info .....🤗
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video a lot.
thank you for watching!
Omg I want your background !! I see lots of this plant in BALI hotel, I plucked it and brought back to Singapore . This is my fave plant .
It’s a phenomenal plant!
Funny this showed up today. I’ve been doing this for years but it’s been at cemeteries. They usually have these huge mounds of Iris in Southern cemeteries. And Iris are my plant. I’ll just get two or three discrete rhizomes and wrap them in wet paper towels and then wet newspaper. In the trunk of the car and it’s off to home. I suppose I’m a plant thief and I get it from my mother. From a small kid my mother would do the same thing. In fact we have her on film pulling periwinkle from a motel in Miami. Funny that’s where you got yours. Ours came from the Suez Canal Motel in Miami. That was probably sixty years ago. I’m an old plant thief and proud of it!! Thanx for the film. You know your addicted though, right?
Hahah i looove reading that! And yes I am addicted!
Forgot to mention, thanks for visiting!
It was an very enjoyable visit!

Thank you!!
Dear Devin
Hi Namaste 🙏
Thank you for this video. I was searching for how to take a cutting on a flight. And came across your video. You are a lovely soul.
Thank you thank you. 🌸
Though I have to travel intenationally taking my own plant cutting for my niece as she can’t find Hoya linnearis in the nursery of the country she lives in :)
Just need to find out now only if it’s ok to travel with a cutting internationally it’s a 7 hr flight.
Amazing work you doing.
Best wishes ✨💐
Hi! Thanks for watching :) make sure your cutting is totally clean of any dirt prior to the journey. You are technically not supposed to bring it internationally so just hide it well! As long as it is clean it will Do no harm by bringing it
Thanks i find some one like plants i was warried about taking my flowers in airoplabe and i have thought the same hack but i was not sure ...so Iam intelligent 😁
Yes you are!!
Nice to see you made it back safe. Question about getting on the plane do they ask you about the plant you cared on the plane?
Nobody ever said anything! Make sure you clean off all the soil tho, you want them to be clean of any local dirt
dude, love the haircut
Haha thank you!! Clean and fresh
🥶🥶🥶 from Michigan
Brrrrr!!
Nice
Thanks for watching!
@@plantvibrations you are welcome
Brilliant & encouraging video. THANK YOU! Question from a total plant beginner: I want to fly with a couple of plants I have that have big root balls (a coleus and a pothos), as I've been growing them in water for several months. Can I do the same thing, just like wrap up the huge root ball in a wet paper towel, wrap that in plastic and carefully bring it in my carry-on?
Yes absolutely! I’d recommend bring them in a tote bag or something and keep on your lap during the flight. As long as it’s domestic you should have no issues with them in security
Do you have your light there on a timer or anything? I’ve never had much luck trying to grow plants from seeds. I think I don’t have much patience trying to do any type of hardening off stage or something.
Yep it’s on a timer! Finding the right soil medium is a big part of getting seeds to sprout
Great information. 💙🎉 Do you leave the lamp on and the heat pad on all day? If you do for how long? Thank you
I leave the pad on 24/7 and the light is on 12 hr timer
@@plantvibrations thank you so much. All this is new to me but I do like the results. 🌱💙
A day ago I was travelling from a state in India and I got myself a peperomia cutting....and I kept it in check in as I thought they were not allowed in the carry on section and when I came home they were all fine but leafs were little weak! 😢😊
Glad it made it!!
I’m moving to Michigan from California in August for Grad school and I am planning on moving a cutting of my Pothos with me. This video has been so helpful!!! I was wondering if it is best to take a cutting in advance and try a water propagate to get some roots started before the flight or not?
It is really up to you! With or without roots won’t affect its journey
@@plantvibrations thank you so much!!!! If I were to go the propagation route, how far in advance would you recommend starting it?
Quick question, what was the species of plant that you propagated?
Philodendron Burle Marx
I get a gift very beautiful flowers but a don't know how i take them in airplane
I’m glad you do now
Hi Devin! Are you still around? I hope you see this.
I have an international trip coming up, and I am planning to take a cutting of my pothos plant with me. I checked with the TSA website and it seems like plants are allowed in carry on bags, which is how I plan to transport my Lil plant.
My question is, if i do pack the cutting as you demonstrate here, will it survive a 48hr travel? Is it worth it? Will there be any more precautions that i can take to ensure a safe transport? I would love to take it with me as much as possible.
Please let me know. Thanks :)
Yes it’ll absolutely be fine for 48-96 hours. Just make sure the stem and roots (if rooted) remain moist by wrapping in wet paper towel followed by plastic wrap
@@plantvibrations gotchu! I'll be sure to add a bit more paper towel, and I can only hope that it stays alive 😭
Im moving from hawaii to Oklahoma, i have over 75 plants that I want to take with me but I will settle for my top 10. Just trying to find a way to make it logistically work. Its a 12 hour flight, 1 layover.
This method will EASILY make the trip. I just ensure the plastic is locking in the moisture
Please tell me how it ended up working out for you. I am moving in a week to Hawai'i and dont know what to expect other than bringing everything bare root.
Just get on wit it
👍
Why only domestic? Can you not do this on international flights?
There are intl laws about importing plant materials, im not going to say it doesn’t work, you just need to be a little sneaky how you do it
Can you bring plants on international flights? And with a pot?
Not with a pot, you can’t bring soil. I’m not sure what the legality is from country to country, but I have brought unrooted cuttings before
if no soil n no roots it shouldnt be a problm cz soil n roots can transfer disease
How can I travel with my cactus
How big is it? Wrap in bubble wrap and take it on board
@@plantvibrations a bubble wrap
Are you sure
Cause it's a thorny cactus
