Need advice on how to deal

Debatablely, its too many.

But now she's taken to snagging trimming from around the neighborhood.

And recently my next door neighbor and property manager had a fiddly fig with a $75 price tag inexplicably outside their door. In the cold and rain.

So she "rescued" it.

Now there's fungus and gnats everywhere.

I dunno where this drunken rambling I'd going anymore so I guess let this be a warning that it's a slippery slope of growing things.

My fiance may have a problem. We don't have the property for growing veggies or anything. But she's become enamored with house plants. There's like 57 individual pots of plants of various sizes spread amongst the rooms of our apartment. Debatablely, its too many. But now she's taken to snagging trimming from around the neighborhood.

That probably would have been been better choice than the clorox wipes and alcohol she used.

You're really supposed to wash down the entire plant with soap and water anytime you bring it indoors to get rid of any eggs. The next good idea is to remove and replace at least the top inch or so of soil from the pot that was outdoors as eggs could have been laid in the soil as well. I've been reading about keeping citrus outside for the spring/summer/fall and keeping it indoors in the winter and those were things that people emphasized to me.
