Accepting Plants from Someone who Didn’t Keep Shmitah

Am l allowed to accept cuttings of plants and cactus from my neighbor who did not keep shmitah in his garden?

Answer:

If the plants were not planted during the Shemittah year, it is permitted to receive the cuttings. If the plants were planted in Shemittah, it would be prohibited.
