Hello!
Hope you are all well. I have a 4 month old margie and i wanted to add some live greenery in his enclosure as I am not a fan of fake plants. I wanted to ask what my options are, as i am aware that almost all the plants from florist, home depots, etc.. have some sort of fertilizer and pesticides in them. I've heard those are safe if i remove the soil and rinse the plant. Is this true? If not, what are my other options besides growing my own, since it is winter where I am and will take quite sometime to grow plants. I live in Vancouver, Canada and our winters are quite cold so live weeds and flowers are hard to come by right now. I'm aware of the specific plants that are safe and unsafe, but my concern is the fertilizers and stuff in the plants.
Please let me know your thoughts!
