Hey guys I’ve recently noticed, since I’ve had my monstera and repotted it I have been having lots of little flies bugging me in my room… is that because they’re breeding on my monstera leaves or maybe on my other plant (scented pelargonium) ??

Are they tiny little black flies that don't really do anything but are annoying? They might be fungus gnats. There are a few different ways to deal with them, like watering with 20% hydrogen peroxide and 80% water, or watering with mosquito bits or dunks; you just have to choose the method that's best for you.

Yes I believe that’s it, thank you!

And be sure to let the first couple inches of soil dry out before watering 🥰🥰
