Important for those who dip their orchids...

I just found out that the liquid that you dip your plants in when you dip before potting that the liquid should be as warm as or warmer than the plant so that it doesn't suck up pathogens that are on the surface of the roots/stems/leaves. I didn't know that could happen, and I know a lot of you soak/dip your plants and I just wanted to throw that out there for those of you who do this. I hope that helps you guys and keeps your plants from getting sick.
Happy growing.
