I use bayer 3 in one, have lights set up to turn on for 12 to 14 hours as the sun moves East to West, spray with Kens Mix, feritilize, enjoy them, some times some want to rest, so I cut them back and have fun rooting cuttings and experimenting with seeds, I just love to Garden and in the winter it helps my sanity. It is hard getting them up and down the stairs tho, but fortunately at 58, I am still really healthy.Thanks to GordonHawks suggestion, I started using mesquitoe pellets in the watering can when the fungus gnats came around down there.. drove me nutz, but you have to remember bugs are everywhere outside, so goes to say they will follow the plants inside one way or another.

My new Japanese Painted fern... from a Raise My Baby Swap.. is a prenniel so she won't be coming inside.. and.. I am not a professional LOL.. my first true tropicals are Hibiscus and Lantanas, ( besides the house plants) I just couldn't bear to have them freeze and die here.
