I have a snail free aquarium. I try very hard to keep it that way. So I got a plant that came from a snail tank. I really like the plant and want to use it. Someone told me to dip the plant in Alum that I would get from the store. Anyone every done this before? Please advise me so I know how to keep my tank snail free and add this new plant to my tank.

An alum or salt dip will get most snails to drop off. But if there are eggs they will survive. Quarantine the plant in something for a few weeks.
