• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature.

A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
