Re: “Of Pandoras and Other Moths”

Calling all moth experts!!
Hello - I've just purchased a beautiful Boston fern to hang in my home but I noticed tons of what I think are Pandora moth eggs on it!!! Eek! I've removed as many as I can but I'm sure I can't remove them all -- is it ok to hang in my home or will I have an outbreak of moths?? Supposedly they need the pine needle soil to become full moths but I don't want to chance it.... I don't mind trying to grow indoors if I know for sure that the moth eggs won't thrive in the fern growing medium... it's a small-medium sized fern pot. Gosh I was so excited about this and it looks so lovely in my kitchen but I am afraid of a moth invasion :-/ Thanks in advance!!!!
