Sometimes I give em a bath in potassium Permanganate, to help kill of
any nasties that may be on them, other times I merely give em a good
hoseing down and let them in a tub of water or such for a few days,
but from what I hear its mostly being paranoid for the most part. The
biggest problem I have ever had from plants is introducing fairy moss
and azola, or common pond snails.......Lots of foolks quaratine plants
just like they do fish, some dip or treat in PP or other chemicals,
others just plant them without doing anything special.
