Here where I live I only have access to plants from plant stores and I'm unaware if they use pesticides or not. So I take measures that might seem a bit over kill. I re pot the plants and remove the substrate from the roots. If I don't want to disturb the roots then I will wait until I need to divide the plant. I then 'wash' the plant completely and then I leave it to recover. This sometimes takes a month or two. I'm no expert but I have yet to loose an animal to pesticides.</p></blockquote><p></p>
