I just got a tropical hibiscus from a local shop and I think it will have pesticides on it. Is there a way to get rid of pesticides on a plant? If not, can anyone tell me a good online organic nursery to find dwarf umbrella trees, tropical hibiscus and golden pothos. thanks.
Pot the plant up in fertiliser free compost and leave for 3 weeks and the fertilisers will be gone. You can also wash the leaves. if it is just a sunning bush then it should be fine to use straight away.
I agree with Syn, wash it. You can put in the bath/shower and wash gently with soapy water (cold not hot) and rinse, then re-pot your naked (bare roots) plant in organic soil.
