Hello All,
I went a little crazy at the garden center today. I used The Tortoise Table's plant database and only chose safe plants from the green section. I am now reading that I cannot use any of them in the enclosure right away because of the pesticides that were likely used. Almost everything I bought can be propagated so it wasn't money wasted however I now have nothing to use in his enclosure. I am going to start growing seeds tomorrow, this broadleaf testudo mix (http://www.tortoisesupply.com/TestudoMix) looks great but it is going to be a while until they are ready to go. I have also found an organic grower in my area (Phoenix, AZ) and I was wondering if I buy from them, wash off soil they used from the roots and re-pot them in the potting soil I am using in the enclosure will they be safe to immediately use? Any help is greatly appreciated.
