A Snail!
I found a super tiny snail on one of my paph's substrate today! I took a look around, and also noticed what is some possible snail damage on a new phal root. I have never had snails in my collection, and am worried that they could damage my current in bud orchids, as well as my delicate carnivorous plants. I know they eat bugs but I have some nepenthes seedlings I don't want to get munched up.
I am planning on baiting with some veggies tonight to see if there are any more, and watering with hydrogen peroxide at the next watering (sometime this or next). Has anyone used hydrogen peroxide with good results for this purpose, and if so what mixture did you use?
Does anyone have experience with snails; I've read that they're fairly common. I don't want these guys to ruin my plants!
