Hi guys! and happy Easter to everybody! I got my first eggs, I've read in other threads that the best way to deal with them is to do nothing, and just let them be... but I have a question: this is their house  I use to change the plants that are inside the greenhouse, in order to prevent the plants from dying out, and to prevent them to get too moldy, and spread little insects. In this case, eggs were laid in this basil plant that you can see in detail hereunder  Problem is, as I never removed the plant, but still mist a bit of water during the day, the soil is getting moldy.... Will the eggs be fine with mold? shall I do anything in your opinion? |

I would love to!! but I don't think I will... to raise them all indoor it would be a crazy amount of work...I dont have time for that as I need to work of course. For the moment I put 10 of them in a box (they are growing huge and super fast) then I left around 60/70 with their parents, and then the remaining more than 100 I left them free on the balcony! amongst thos free ones I found already around 10 died, but other are spreading all over the balcony plants (they have dozens so they have a wide choice), and around 50 of them are still living around the spot i placed them originally. When should I take them to the backyard in your opinion? I mean when will they be strong enough to be able to survive in nature? I want them to survive of course, even I have no time to care them all... |
