Re: [APD] plant sterilization via listerine

Something acid or something base will rid your plants of most obnoxious hitchikers. Lime-it, for example. A short dip in the farther reaches of pH . . .

November too cold? Too hot? How would you like to spend part of it in San Francisco? Cable cars, Lombard St., Chinatown -- and a simply huge aquatic plant auction.

The 2006 Aquatic Gardeners Association Convention will be November 10-12 at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel -- San Francisco International Airport. 

Details will be posted soon at http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/

I cant believe Scott didn't rise to the bait  on this one.

Are we concerned that the other plants won't like the new ones because they  
have bad breath?

On a serious note, i get a number of plants that were  very recently  in the 
Far East and have been putting them in a bucket of tapwater to allow  any 
"critters" to leave the plants looking for food or whatever.  Found a  couple of 
leeches one time and started being a little more careful. Rinse them  before 
they go into the tank. Haven't had any problems but am i courting  danger?

Just how much effort is really needed to avoid  most problems?
