Tropica and Aquafleur do a range plants in dry pack, pots and tissue culture. All Tropica plants are grown in a pest free environment, so you can be sure of no snails or other pests. I get mine from Aqua Essentials (link below)
Thanks very much for your reply. I'd really got it into my head that only the tissue culture range were guaranteed to be free from pests. Do you think there's any chance that their potted range pick up any shell-dwelling hitchhikers on the way from Tropica to third party and then on to us, the customer - as the third party seeks to keep them watered and feed for a few days or whatever? Do you ever do anything to 'clean' the ones you get from AquaEssentials?

Cheers!
No snails in here ...except two Nerite's I added. ;]

All plants came from Aqua Essentials and some from my old set up.
