New on the blog. If you grow at home in California, do you actually know your legal plant limit?
The short version is 6 living plants per household, not per person, and where you grow matters. Indoor is protected statewide, but your city or county can restrict or even ban growing outdoors. Even seedlings and clones count toward the six.
The part that stood out to me writing this up is that most folks who go over never meant to. A few clones in the corner, a couple extra starts popped just in case, and the count quietly creeps past the limit. Keeping an honest running count is the simplest way to stay on the right side of it.
I pulled the current rules together with sources so you can check before you plant. General info, not legal advice, always confirm your local laws.
