Rinsed with plain water. I never bring soap into anything, and since I'm into aquaculture and herps, I use the bleach solution when reusing tanks/enclosures, but that's the only time. Using it in gardening is still quite alien to me n.n"
Yeah, they're brand new, for tomorrow's grand repotting. I realized most of my pots are used and I can't identify where I got most of them, or what was in them previously, so there'll be prime water (carefully monitored RO), fresh peat, but fresh pots so there can't be any kind of leeched fertilizers or anything.
I'm willing to acknowledge that lack of sun may be contributing to my plants decline, but they do get atleast 8 hours of direct sun, despite the oak trees. I'll actually be putting wheels on the table they live on to ease moving it across the deck to allow maximum sun exposure as the seasons change. But it's been terribly overcast for the past 3 weeks, which has only made things harder.
But the presence of rove beetles indicates that my peat is breaking down, big time.
