Don't they let you bring plants into a different country?

#### PlantGuy replied on 2025-07-21

I’m not sure actually. I think sometimes they confiscate stuff for contamination reasons, but it might be allowed.

How long do you keep it in water?

#### PlantGuy replied on 2025-07-21

I’ve kept it in the water for its whole life. I do have a smaller one i keep in soil though. They can survive in both.

I've got one in water and one in soil. Both are doing good.
