Default Garden Centre Plants

I am going to buy some winter pansies etc this weekend from the Garden Centre and I'll be giving them a good wash.
How long do they then need to be grown on before they will be safe for him to eat. I don't get him for another month so will they be safe to eat then?

Some people have said on here, wait two weeks before feeding to your torty. Just incase they have been sprayed with anything.

Sometimes they come in compost that have little yellow fertiliser balls in it that are filled with liquid, watch out for those. It's kind of the wrong time of year for garden center plants but there will be a few, campanula maybe and winter pansies which my ones never ate. a month will be ok
