Just curious where everyone aquires their plants from and how they treat them. I get mine at local garden centres. When I get them home I unpot them and run the plant upside down through soapy water and then through rinse water 3-4 times and repeat that process once or twice more just to be safe, then repot it in good topsoil (no vermiculite or perlite).

That's pretty much what I do. No problems yet.

Me too. I also buy seeds online, you can get rarer species and no worries of pesticides. Just takes forever:)

Ohh yeah, relatives and friends. you would be supprised how many plants old people have, and they dont usually mind giving you cuttings or seeds etc :)
