i'm planning to get a plant for my crestie enclosure from like a home depot or lowe's. Do i have to worry about any chemicals or fertilizer thats already in the soil because i don't know if they add them into their soil or not. thanks

From what I've read they usually fertilize houseplants and you should let them sit outside the cage for 4-6 weeks to let it dissapate. I don't know if they treat greenhouse plants in the same way but it really wouldn't suprise me.

Even if there is no fertilizer there will probably be perlite.
