so did you do anything about the media.. or is that project for next summer outdoors??? in MI ... indoors... in a miserable winter.. i would probably NOT do further repotting .... ask the citrus peeps for timing on that ... i am thinking.. winging it here ... that a late winter .. very early spring timing.. would get its feet in some proper media.. just before it starts its next root growth phase ... such will probably be triggered by lengthening of sunlight hours... and i will yell... OR I HAVE IT ALL BACKWARDS BECAUSE THERE ARE SPECIAL RULES FOR CITRUS ... this is left to your research ... my good friend rhiz said: Excess moisture is not a requirement for the fungus gnats....but a high percentage of peat and compost is. ==>> the wording just seems hard to me .... peeps who dont know how to manipulate their media... often make peaty media.. to wet .. thru.. excessive moisture.. so though i fully understand what she is trying to say.. and understand how she would handle it.... i am not sure her message is clear ... and understand.. the important roots... are sitting near the bottom of the pot.. not the top of the media.. which dries from the furnace.. not the first inch or two where your finger is... but the bottom third.. which even thought all the former are reasonably dry ... is sopping wet ... you really should not water.. until the whole pot is dry-ish ... not a sip of water.. every time the surface appears/feels dry .... that isnt really where teh roots are.. is it???? when we talk of media and drainage ... we are talking about a consistency of the media from top to bottom ... i learned about this.. when i learned to tip plants out of pots.. to LOOK at how it all works ... i dont recall the size of yours and if that could be done .. and for sure..not on a recent repotted plant ... BTW... late next august.. presuming you will be putting this outdoors in full shade next summer... late in august.. you treat the pot outdoors... so it is ready to bring it in the house in late Sept or so ... so all your bug juice is used out in fresh air.. safe is safe.. but treating stuff indoors.. even organically is not high on my list... unless.. as in your case.. the marauding hordes force your hand ... [in my experience.. no pot smaller than a bushel basket ever goes in full sun ... its all about baking the root mass in a small gob of heat retaining media... see.. we are right back to media ... and that is the lesson .... when dealing with pots] report back often.. your clem is now my friend... lol ken

Hi Amy... You have to look at the long range...How is it going to do in the long months of winter in a mix that harbors gnats? Usually gnats is a tell tale sign that your mix is too organic, and holds moisture far too long... If it were my tree, I would gently repot it into a far superior mix than what it is in now to prepare for your tree for the winter months and now shorter and cooler days. I would remix that mix with 50% perlite or more until you can fully understand how to make a good mix from scratch in spring, or buy one that consists mostly of pine bark, a little perlite, with a very small amount of peat... Make sure to have the basic tools you will need to carry her threw at the ready... A wooden dowel, or your finger if you are good with that, a nice sunny spot, learn how to water and when, a good pesticide, and keep reading........... No one can say for sure if your tree will suffer if you repot again, but I would tend to believe not:-) I wish you much success! MIke

Looks like you have quite a few that can go into bigger pots. I usually pot up when the first two true leaves are well formed. Alex

Amazing how someone brand new to these forums decides to come in and attempt to regulate what can or can't be said here! First, this is not intended to be a "help" forum but rather one for discussion of professional topics of interest to green industry professionals. So someone - a nonprofessional - came in to ask advice of a professional and that advice was generously given. What is objectionable is the way that advice was summarily dismissed by the OP as "bad" - and rather rudely so - based on other information they subsequently discovered. Neither advice is bad. Sure the OP could bolt together the torn branch if they wanted to.......it was only pointed out that this was unlikely to be as easy or as successful - based on the extensive amount of damage and the time delay - as the video alluded. It has nothing to with egos but everything to do with common courtesy and politeness. I feel no need to exercise any 'humility' with regards to offering advice I have spent dozens of years accumulating working as a horticultural professional. If the OP didn't like the advice, he didn't have to follow it - his choice. But to come back and rudely and incorrectly state the advice was "bad" and pretty much imply that I didn't know what I was talking about based on his a viewing a single video, then claim - based on this extremely limited knowledge - that the video was the only "right" way was offensive.
