Hi GardeningVA, I get those mosquito dunks at HD/Walmart and break them into chunks and toss them in each pan of water. It won't get all the mosquitoes (there are too many sources of water here) but it will cut down on a bunch of them.

I kept my Mojitos, Nancyana, Elena in trays of water. The other pots were watered nearly every day (Elepaio, Black Coral, and other pots with Colocasia). I find the Alocasias can dry out some and prefer it that way but the Colocasias are weeping if I don't keep them wet.

A few of the pots from 2014. I think I need to thin out some of my pots next year.
