Invasive and Illegal Aquarium plants in the USA, By state.
I saw some people asking about plants, and wanting them shipped to them from an overseas vendor, so I thought it’d be a good idea to post this.
Make sure the plant you’re buying (given it’s being shipped), is legal in your state! I can’t stress this enough! If customs decides to randomly check your package (and they do do random searches), and finds that you’re buying invasive and/or illegal plants, you’ll get hit with a heavy fine! That’s right, YOU will get fined, not the seller, and your plant will be destroyed!
