I will do! is it not safe to just wash the plants and then repot them in pesticide free soil? I always thought this is what happened...

Most nurseries over here use systemic pesticides. They are in the plants tissues and can take a year to dissipate.



CT, the enclosure looks fantastic. Love the upgrades. So glad it's all working well for you now.

Im not 100% sure because Im new to this but from what Iv read the pesticides can stay in plants for a while so repotting and washing them doesnt always do the trick. I guess it would be fine if you did that and then waited a while before putting them in the enclosure. I get most of my info from Tom, you should check out some of his threads.

I dont use anything, I just had to really wet the substrate and that did the trick.
