Hi Guys,

Isn't really a discussion but, I found a really tiny snail on one of my pseudobulbs the other day.

What puzzles me is that I do 5 day watering (soak whole pot in water) and spraying of mild pesticide and it's a house dendrobrium in a 5 inch pot.

How in the world did the snail get there?

I stay on the 6th floor and the next closest plant is 50 metres away. I have no idea how a plant that's been soaked so many times in the last 3 months have a tiny snail on it. =) Good thing i plucked it out.

Are you sure the snail was alive when you found it?

If this was a recent acquisition it could have been a hitch-hiker.You may need to use something specifically for snails. I believe we call them bush snails. Good luck.
