Those awful fungus gnats were still bothering my Lemon gang.. So I decided to refresh the soil as a last resort. The two plants needed to be re-potted to pots with better drainage anyway, but I preferred waiting till spring. I cleaned as much of the old soil off the big root balls as possible and continued to put them in plastic nursery pots with drainage holes and fresh well-draining soil. Those inner pots fit perfectly in the glazed white planters in the windowsill and I put some pebbles at the bottom to make sure excess water can flow away. To hide the edges of the nursery pots, I placed some beautiful black pebbles on top of the soil. Finally placed a pebble tray with water as well, to raise the air-humidity around the plants. I love pebbles.
