Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: Gardening

I have some similar questions...does anyone know anything about avocado's? I have been raising 4 plants from seeds for about a year and a half  now. I get these little nats that are so pesky cause I keep the plants inside. Too much wind here in Florida for these 34 inch tall skinny trunks. Just getting about 2 in. of bark on each of the trunks now. I tried using the oils on them too and almost lost one, but I got it back to health with just using fresh filtered water. I read somewhere that you are supposed to clip them down, but they are so full and beautiful. Is that necessary? I won't transplant these till they are good and solid trees. Any suggestions> I also read somewhere that it takes about 4 years till they bare fruit. Like growing bamboo. If anyone can, would love all the help I can get. And good luck with your garden.

We are in the Northwest. We will be using direct sunlight and lights.
  I have been studying on how to do an indoor garden and have been
  planning it for a few months now. Do you spray the water around the
  pots and tables and on the actual plants? I used a couple drops of
  lemon oil on a pointsetta (in the soil) and it about killed it so I
  want to make sure I use the oils correctly if I'm going to.
