Why I never quarantine new plants

[MarisaAndChew]

Worst pest i had this year was a moth LOL. It snuck in without me knowing it when i had the dog out before bed. I woke up to half a leaf on my Regal Shield missing. Had never been more confused... then a few hours later i found a moth looking at me like "i overate" and then, it died...

I do not quarantine my plants either. When I bring them in for the summer, I do not quarantine them either. I spray them with a plant insecticide two weeks before I bring them in. I give them water. When I get ready to bring them in, I spray and water them again. I check for spider mites, mealy bugs, and so forth. Other than that, my plants are always good.

I’ve been growing large plant collections for 45 years & I’ve never had a pest problem with any of them, so we don’t all have them.

I just spray the mess out of mine with water, then I spray my insecticide wipe down an then spray leaf shine 😅

You just let your plants knowingly sit there with pests on them? Weird take
