Need to quarantine plants?
#1
Hi,
I've just bought some plants for the pond, and wonder if I should quarantine them first. I have an old bath tub outside that is full of water, which should make an ideal quarantine pond.
I am guessing that it is a good idea to quarantine plants, but what would I be looking for during the quarantine period and how long should it be? There are some very good articles on this site about quarantining but they all talk about fish and barely mention plants.
Also, some of the plants are dry packed (they are a kit with a tub, aquatic compost+clay, gravel and bulbs). Should these also be quarantined considering they have probably never seen water before?
Thanks for any info
