I just removed the leaves--they were vigorous plants, anyway, so they didn't seem to mind. I guess I have been lucky inside. Right now, all I'm dealing with are the ever-present fungus gnats and spider mites.

It seems to keep them in check.Aaerelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129994850811861751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-6064063770102177132010-02-07T10:47:31.853-05:002010-02-07T10:47:31.853-05:00Leaf borers?

I have a video on using mine <a href="http://www.indoorgarden-er.com/2009/09/pollination-sexcess.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It's so fun watching the pollen fly off!
