To the top answer. I mean't plan pots. My grandma gave it to me before she passed on and I've been looking after it and now has them bugs in the soil.

THese are fungus gnats. They lay eggs just under the soil surface. Put a one inch layer of sand on the top or the soil. They adult gnats cant burrow to lay eggs and the hatchlings can't reach the surface , so they die.
They will compromize the health of the plant if not dealt with.

do no longer upload too lots fertilizer, and make advantageous to no longer water it too lots. those 2 are elementary blunders that may kill your vegetation at as quickly as. it ought to have time to somewhat dry between waterings. placed your finger down approximately an inch into the soil and even if it continues to be moist than you're sturdy, and you do no longer ought to water it yet. even if it continues to be a splash seedling than do no longer enable it dry too lots, besides the fact that if this is going to no longer be continuously moist. Sorry, yet you will no longer have the skill to intercourse the plant for a whilst. i think of mine replace into like 2 ft tall till now it flowered. then you certainly wait too see what happens. If it starts making buds it rather is a woman, and if grows little ball issues (seed pods) than it rather is a male. undecided what sort of lamp you have, besides the fact that if it desires lots of sunshine. For a seedling, decrease mild stages are ok, yet to get sturdy buds you desire sturdy lighting fixtures, or greater effective however the solar. optimistically you're making plans on planting it outdoors. i think of its much less volatile and the plant will probably like it greater effective. Plus in case you keep it interior you will desire some great charcoal filters to circumvent it from stinking up the excellent domicile. i think of this is approximately it. My maximum suitable advice is to attend till the plant is nearly a million-2 ft and plant it outdoors in finished solar. it could have greater effective opportunities in case you wait till this is larger. you are able to sprinkle around some hair to maintain animals away, besides the fact that if it may nonetheless get eaten. be careful although..

You can pick up light systemic pesticide at your local home & garden store. Just don't use much at all & it'll be ok.
