Evening folks,
I inherited an extremely stressed and diseased begonia plant a couple of months ago, to save it I took several cuttings and binned the rot. Most of the cuttings have now successfully rooted in water and need to be planted. However, on the main websites where one can buy potting soil, the reviews indicate that the most popularly bought brand (Westland) is riddled with bugs and larvae, namely symphylans and fungus gnats, so I'm obviously not keen.
Does anyone have any recommendations for potting soil/potting mix or ways to treat the offending brand to remove the pests?
Thanks,
Ed
