How's that going to thrive in such tight quarters? Impressive setup Gingerbeard.

All it has to do is sit there crucialbunny . On the ground. Under the canopy. Audrey II doesn't like direct sun so she will need shade. I'm going to figure out a way to put this at soil level when the plants grow.
Here's the thing: I don't have bugs. Never have had much of an issue. Today, my soil got mixed for first transplant to gallon pots. There's a cup of (food grade) diatomaceous earth in each pot and all the mixed soil will be sitting out to dry for 3-4 weeks to dry. So, Audrey might sit on my dresser, next to a few ficas trees I've brought up from pups. They seem to have the bug issues.
If all else fails, I'll go grab a handful of soil from the asparagus fern on the patio. That sh t is lousy with gnats.

As luck would have it, a few fungus gnats have been seen around my seedlings, which I will not show for legal restrictions.

That does not sound lucky. And your poor plant looks so very lonesome. I hope it's the strong, introverted type...

You are a soulful folk, AccidentalGardener They are not lonely. The little pot is full of maws. It's like a little chorus of bug suckers. If you listen real close you might hear them singing.
Without bugs, Aubrey II won't survive. It would be a shame to starve her. I might have to hand feed if she can't get what she needs.

:funny::funny::funny: I hadn't enlarged it, lmao. Thought it was just one lonely plant-plant... I'm pretty sure not only is it introverted, but possibly a serial killer. Omg, I'm dying :funny::funny::funny:
