2 likesNursery: grows perennial plants on-site. Greenhouse: grows annual plants (and sometimes tropicals) on-site. Garden center: sells mostly tools and supplies. Many places have combinations of these, so the words are often used interchangeably

systemics work best. traps and neem are for adults and larvae on the surface. use granules and drops to kill larvae within the soil.

I experienced this when I moved and had all my plants together. However, since it was like an infestation of those lil gnats I repotted my plants with fresh soil, making sure I got most of that old soil out. Then after repotting I wiped down the leaves , put the traps and some neem oil but I also separated my plants so they weren’t really close for the time being. I only separated them to kinda control which plant is was that’s really have it the most cause I felt like them being all in one space so close they were just hopping and duplications x1000.

I use mosquito bits regularly. I rarely see them now.

0 likes It tells you on the bag. I think it says like 4 tbsp per gallon. You soak it for 30 minutes then use that to water your plants. It kills the larvae that’s in your soil to prevent further gnats from growing.
