Jadel, I read that putting the dry ice in water makes a visable fog
that is easy to see the CO2 level in the container. I plan to run my

Are the plants infested now? If not, therre's no reason to give them
the CO2 treatment before you put them outside. CO2 has no residual
effect; it won't protect them from infestation outdoors.
