Plants & pesticides

[JenTy7203]

Sorry for all the questions & thanks for all the great advise so far

I have 2 plants from the safe list for our baby EBT
I know I have to remove the dirt and rinse them well, but how long do I need to wait before we put them in the enclosure to be sure there is no harm?

I would not put into the enclosure any sooner than 6 months at the earliest (now I personally would wait an entire year---I know, sounds crazy)... if you purchased the plant at one of the big ticket stores (lowes/home depot) there is usually the growers sticker on the planter...if you call them they will let you know what chemicals they use on their plants based on what areas they are grown in by the info on the sticker.....or is you want to purchase plants from your local nursery they can also offer you that information....

I have seen here that others plop the plant right into the enclosure with no time as well as others wait minimal time....I just am very cautious when it comes to this issue...
