Snails and Cattleya Orchids!

I pour old coffee thru the pots. They can not take the caffeine. It is one of the only substances that will penetrate the slime layer and jack up their nervous system. It works well with anything I grow outside. I also pick thru the pots. unpotting and checking the roots around the sides of the pot will usually yield a few small slugs which have hatched since the last coffee flooding. It is an ongoing battle! Best of luck! Remo...

Hmm, I don't drink coffee but I have some that has been around for guests (and it's old). I'll have to try that. The new house has more huge snails...I find their shells when i'm gardening. They are the size of a quarter.
