I don't know the regulations in Florida but in the same situation in California both would be in violation of law. When you buy a plant at a nursery or even Home Depot, they already have the license and required inspections that permit you to transport the plant. Some states have free licenses for small scale activities but still require a license even if it's not commercial. One small backyard grower in SoCal was found to have citrus greening disease (HLB) because of an illegal movement and now many millions are being spent to attempt to stop the spread of this serious disease. What may have seem like a small little harmless activity created a huge problem.
