Introducing New Plants

[StanChung]

I've kept mosses for a month in fridge and they grow fine, but all the snails are dead.

Ferns can last as long if not longer.

The more frail ones are the stem plants. Those don't keep very well, not more than one week for most especially submersed. If emersed can keep for quite awhile. Two weeks.

Try it with some of your cuttings.

I doubt my parents would aprove there son taking up the fridge with plant cuttings She already dislikes me keeping a small section of her freezer for my frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp Hehe.

Ahhh, maybe when i'm able to move out and get my own place i'll try this. Or when they go on holiday perhaps have a mess about with this idea.

What purpose does it serve exactly? Is there any benefit to the plant? Aside from perhaps chilling pests on/in the plant/leaves to death i can't see any other purpose?

a little off topic already...
well the orignial intention was for soaking the plants in order to get rid of any anti snail medication because those harm my shrimp. the freezer method is so that i can avoid changing the water and can let the plants survive in low light conditions because they enter a hibernating mode. anyways i find that looking after the plants personally would be very much better because u'll know when something is wrong =D

The main purpose is storage of the plants in the vegetable section is either for pest control or till you're ready to scape.
In this case you need it to leach out the pesticides by keeping it filled with water.
