What is this? A plant passport is a paper that shows a plant is safe to move in Europe. This notice says a plant passport from Germany was found on a shipment that came from Uganda.

What's happening? The plant passport did not match the rules for plants moving from Uganda to Germany or the Netherlands. The risk is low because the plants were not planted yet.

Does this affect me? If you bought plants recently from Uganda through Germany or the Netherlands, check the passport. Otherwise, this does not affect you.

What should I do? If you have plants from this shipment, ask your local plant shop or garden center for help. Do not plant them until you check with a professional.
