Pest problem! I donā€™t know what these pests are, I canā€™t seem to identify them. Iā€™ve tried the classic home-made recipe of water and vinegar but no luck. I donā€™t want it add soil or fertiliser until itā€™s solved. Planta only allows me to upload photos, so I tried my best. I have. Great video of them crawling but I canā€™t post that unfortunately. But they look almost silver and oblong. I think they fly? Iā€™m not sure. I usually see them crawling around the pot in the soil. Anyone who can identify them and help get rid of them, please advise!

    they are fungus gnats! i had the same issue a few weeks back, so i checked the drainage and took a step back from watering to minimize and stagnant humidity in the soil/area. i also got these which worked amazingly!!! i opted for black since they were less visible, but there are huge packs of yellow on amazon. after about a week- iā€™m in the clear. just make sure you move that plant away from the others since they fly and will get into all of them! good luck ((:

      Thank you so much! Theyā€™re so pesky. I will look into these further. I have so many lurking I tried to make a homemade one but it didnā€™t really work. But this Iā€™m hoping will do the trick
