When you apply the caffeine, you have to get all of the plants...the mounted orchids, the other tropical plants...everything. It needs to be watered on all the leaves and completely through the dirt of the other tropical plants. Before I knew about the coffee, I used Sevin (Carbaryl) powder and that took care of the first infestation. The second and third bush snail invasion was eliminated by the instant coffee and instant coffee crystals. The third issue with bush snails was in my terrarium but I treated all the other plants just to be certain.
