[AGA-Member] disinfecting wild aquarium plants
Hi,
What is a good procedure to rid collected wild plants (or plants from a questionable source) of snails, leaches, and other undesirable stuff? I have tried using chlorox diluted 1 part with 20 parts of water, and then soaking for two minutes followed by rinsing in a bucket of fresh water. Crypts are about the only thing that survives. Amazon swords look ok after treatment, but are transparent in a week. Floating plants and hornwort are bleached completely in minutes.
