i’ve been watering my plants like normal, and these past two weeks everytime i go to water them. these tiny gnats come off of them, but i keep all of my plants inside. i’m not sure why they’re going on my plants, but i just want to know how to get rid of them.

Fungus gnats. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the soil. Try bottom watering also. They typically appear when the top layer of soil is moist. They’re pretty harmless, just annoying.

will cinnamon affect the soil or roots when i water?

No. If you keep watering from the top, just sprinkle some more after the soil drys up a little. If you bottom water, you don’t really have to do much.

I’ve e had luck with putting pebbles on the top layer of soil. It makes it hard from the gnats to burrow under them and just as hard to come out if they are already in the soil.

I seen bugs today and I just did the peroxide watering. I hope it helps because I was freaking out. Lol. I noticed some of my leafs were turning yellow also. The soil is so wet 😫
