Right now it's in a 10-inch basket. To avoid white flies and aphids, I spray the plant with Raid House and Garden spray about a week before I bring it indoors. Then I spray it once more right before I bring it in to catch any eggs that have hatched in the interim. Spray cannot kill eggs. I don't like to use pesticides, but this is one time I make an exception.
Gardener was the label imprinted on me when the souls were handed out and so be it. --Margaret Roach (Thank you, Sharon!) Notes from the Garden: Articles of interest on all aspects of gardening
