plants on boats?

[Janice]

I have read a couple of places that it is good when living on your boat as a liveaboard, it is good to have plants such as aloe for burns, etc. Wondered about any problems people have run into as they enter various ports around the world with having live plants on board? Has this been a problem?

We took live cilantro, basil, parsley and stevia into the Bahamas with no problems.

I think the restrictions vary significantly from country to country. Australia and New Zealand have a lot of limits if I recall correctly. noonsite.com has some insight.

I have an orchid that does nicely in the salon and some herbs in the summer.
