Moving Houseplants from CA to NM (plant, California, house, desert)

[B3Fan]

Hi, I've read a bit about transporting houseplants across state lines. It seems that if you repot with fresh soil and put a flea collar or repellent with the plant you may be allowed to pass.

I'll be driving I-40 out of CA across NV, AZ and into NM to ALB.

Has anyone encountered agricultural inspection station along that route?

I looked for maps highlighting such locations and don't find anything. I do see many entering CA.

There strictly house plants, succulents, jade etc. and we'd hate to lose them.

Thank you.

There is no inspection going out of California.
No inspection for NV.
And I doubt the desert states of AZ and NM have any agricultural inspection.

Thank you I couldn't find any on our intended route of I 40 either so I think we're ok. I'd have hated to lose these plants! Thanks Nn2036

You should be safe. I have driven everywhere in the country( although not that portion of I-40) and never seen any agricultural inspections elsewhere. I think California is an exception.
