rinsing new plants

[Robert Marshall <w22ram at morgan_ucs.mun.ca>]

Hi all,

I've seen reference's to rinsing new plants and using saltwater to rinse

them.  I need to know exactly how to do this or does it matter?  I'm

thinking just putting them in the sink and turning the tap sprayer on

them for a few minutes--is this right or wrong?  Salt water dips--are we

talking marine salt (Instant Ocean) or table salt and what's the ratio

of salt to water?

Does anyone buy mailorder plants?  What kind of luck--healthy, nice

plants?  Where are some of the plants MO places at--any web based?

How are you doing,
If you want to make sure to kill anything on the plants you can use
powered Alum from a drugstore in the concentration of 1 tbsp per quart
of water for 5 mins.  Then rinse under tap water.

Hope I some help
Rob
