River Plants

[kit]

Thanks for the warning.

I was looking for plants down at the Fraser River but was curious if I saw something I could incorporate at home that I would not find at a LFS or Rona's garden centre.

Hey,

If you decide you get plants from the wild ..... a great way to get rid of any parasites is to soak them in a solution of Alum. One teaspoon Alum to one gal of water for about an hour usually does the trick. We often use this at the store when we get plants in from the Orient to elliminate any hitch-hikers. You can usually find Alum in the health food section of your grocery store.

One other thing, removing plants or anything for that mater is a no no without a permit, as is putting anything you removed back after keeping it in a captive environment. Be carefull where you decide to collect.

Cheers...
