Quaranteen Plants?
When purchasing new plants do you treat them first before placing them
in your pond? Can pennyworth be submerged and if so how deep? Thanks Judy |

Quaranteen Plants?
Most fish pests die after a week without a host, so a week in a bucket
of water with a good lot of soil for fertility gives you plenty of time to think about potting them up. While in isolation as simple as that you get time to look for beneficial things that might be hitchhiking, there can be tadpoles, of newts, frogs toads... some snails like ramshorns , beneficial insects like daphnia, crustaceans such as freshwater shrimp and gammarus, any of which could be worth putting in an aquarium to establish in the pond after cultivating them in an isolation positon After a weeks isolation, lifting the plants, shaking any loose stuff off, then a dunk in a bucket of water with two spoons of domestic bleach for several hours, will kill any fish pests and if you are LUCKY, might kill a fungus such as lily root rot, and highly destructive tropical pests such as nematodes that cause problems in Florida and Hawaii Pottasium permanganate will not destroy those.

Judy We just let the pennywort float on top of the pond. Don't know if it could be submerged. Jan http://hometown.aol.com/pinkpggy/us.html |
