its jasmine polyanthum. my concern, anne, was to dry the compost, not boil the roots as you so sarcastically said. some of us are still learning.

either way, the plants are out of direct sunlight and ill let the compost dry off before watering again. some people suggest putting potatoe lumps on the soil for a few hours to draw any larvae of the soil to identify if it is fungus gnat. anyone had experience of doing this? and if so did it work?
