cacti and customs?
    #18977713 - 10/14/13 06:06 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

this may be slightly off topic, however im wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with US customs when ording cacti. I know that the customs website specifically states viable plants for propogation as requiring a permit, however Im wondering if anyone actually ever has any trouble with recieving cacti through customs or if the general consensus is that its no more different than any other package.
thanks in advance.

it depends on if your ordering peyote or not. If its peyote i'd be very cautious if you choose to proceed. However if its one of the trichocerous species then you should be home free. They're perfectly legal for ornamental purposes, shit i've bought some from home depot before

I cant ever find any trich at home depot. Theres always a bunch of lookalikes.
and Im not considering live peyote, i was wondering specifically about the columnar trichocereus cacti.

Twice.

One time peyote seeds and I got a letter that said your poppy seeds have been destroyed and the other time a package from kada from taiwan. All the rest have made it feom thailand, germany, taiwan, the UK.

I think its just hit or miss, IMO.

Btw, its been anything from legal to non legal things.

I have had seeds crushed.  Shipping plants with soil is a major no no, vendors should mail bare root always.

well i just ordered three species of trichocereus for my garden and im hoping to receive them undamaged. The vendor specifically notes how they package their plants and everything seems in order so im just hoping that customs has a heart to allow my new little friends to arrive.

Why don't you just order them from somebody in the US?

My San Pedro got confiscated by the isrealian customs. I labeled it as "cactus"

If the package is labeled properly and doesnt clearly state that there is a "live plant" inside then the plant should be fine making its way through customs.

My plants had soil & roots when I recieced them. Make sure to get regular shipping because compared to priority shipping the chances of them checking it will be alot lower,

According to my post office they told me its forbidden to ship any plant '"anywhere". Yet at the same time she seen me package and ship cactus.

You should be careful

ive searched for one and i cant find any vendors with the same kind of quality or variety as what i can find internationally. Its like one place only has T. pachanoi while another one only has cuttings while another place is likely to sell poor quality specimens. If im going to take the chance with customs, its because the specimens are guaranteed to be well enough to survive transplanting. The options are limited and if you look for nurseries around most areas anymore as well as i have, then youll find that most of them went out of business because of superwallyworlds.

yes, and they only have cuttings. The chance of recieving a cutting when it may fail to take root seems about as much of a risk as it is to order a live specimen internationally in the hopes of it making its way safely through customs.

I hear ya that a lot of the selection of named clones and stuff like that seems to be either lacking or not precise here in the US. Seems like the Aussies have all the good trichos.

:whathesaid:

By the time you rooted cuttings arrive they will more than likely take just as long to get going again as what unrooted would.

Ive been interested on how to cultivate columnar trichocereus specifically. So theres already a selection of those on the way.

if you are truly interested in learning to cultivate trichocereus I'd honestly suggest listening to the people on this forum, they know what they are talking about and have a ton of experience....


I've rooted cuttings, started from seed and ordered a bridgesii with roots... honestly you would have to TRY to kill the cutting, and even then it'd probably still grow..... it is literally so easy a retarded monkey could do it....

as explained already, you have nothing to worry about as far as the cutting failing to root.... IMO it makes no sense to buy a rooted cactus for twice what a cutting would cost when it's so fricken easy to root
