Bringing the plants inside

[Leafmite]

During the last few weeks, I have been bringing in my tropical plants. I still have a pair of olives and a dwarf 'Big Red' pomegranate tree to bring indoors as well as some bulbs that will go dormant and a cactus but, for the most part, the plants are inside. For each plant, I have been soaping the plants up with Dawn dishsoap, leaving the soap on the leaves for a bit, washing the leaves off, soaking the pot in water with soap, then flushing the pots with water, letting it all dry and spraying the leaves and top of the soil with Neem oil. Some of the plants have been getting a severe pruning so that they will fit under the lights. :|

I have about fifty orchids and over forty other types of plants.
