To prevent contamination we would need to wear latex gloves and
sterilize them between plants.
You *don't*? I do. Or I wash and bleach my hands between plants, being
sure to get under the nails.
No I don't and I never did. You also have to sterilize the pan between
each plant. You must have a lot of free time. How many plants do you
have?
I stopped counting at 700, so there are more than that in my collection.
And you soak them all one at a time, washing disinfecting your hands and the
soaking pan between each plant? I can only assume you have hired help.

Cross contamination is very difficult to prevent.
Which doesn't mean you don't do your darndest try to prevent it.
This is true, but I don't have the time to sterilize the soaking pan and
my hands after each and every plant.
