    Definitely an aglaonema. Good luck with it! Would you like any tips for it? I got an aglaonema when I first started out with houseplants, and I was so sad to let mine go because of my dog. They’re a great low maintenance bunch once they’re placed in a spot they like and potted in something chunky and well draining.

      They definitely can! Other options include a complete repot, which involves reducing it to its roots, spraying the roots with hydrogen peroxide, then using fresh soil to place it back in the pot again. The peroxide kills the gnat larvae. If you don’t wanna go through all that, then try the mosquito dunks and some sticky traps for a few weeks until the gnats stop showing up. I just prefer repotting over spending weeks trying to treat the same soil, but it’s up to you and what you’re willing to do. Gnats are more annoying than dangerous to your plant, but they can be a sign that the soil isn’t well draining or that you’re possibly overwatering your plant. I found my aglaonema liked its soil completely drying out between waterings. Another way of helping is bottom watering the plant (if you’re new to that, look up “how to bottom water a plant” on YouTube) so gnats aren’t attracted to moist top soil, and sprinkling cinnamon or sand on the top of the soil to smother gnats trying to get out of the top of your soil. Hope this helps!

      it has a self watering system, idk if thats the same as bottom watering but I just repotted it and the gnats seem to be gone (at least from this plant haha) but I will try hydrogen peroxide with my other plant that has gnats. Thanks so much!
