You can abide by the spirit of the law by cleaning your plant material, then spraying with Spinosad, and also with an 0.01% solution of Physan 20 or an OMRI fungicide. What ever it is you are shipping, read up on the plant to make sure it does not play host to some nightmare problem for a crop at the destination.

Does it need to be marked "plant"? Does this get it special treatment? Also, I will look into getting some fungicide.

You can send a 3 1/2 ft~4' plant without having to cut it back... And yes I def. agree with taping the pot/corm to the box to keep it secure..

So would
this tube be appropriate? Do you typically ship it priority mail?
Another question: Is it worth the shipping weight to leave the soil intact?
This is interesting, thanks to everyone for their input.
