my birds of paradise has some gnats i believe ! ive heard of hydrogen peroxide to kill the larvae but i wanted to be sure before using it the best way to do it. hes still young and has sprouted a new leaf recently thats starting to brown due to the pests 😭 any tips ?
1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water. I usually mix mine in a mason jar so I can use the lines on the side to track measurements. Plus that way I usually use it up because hp is light sensitive and degrades

What percentage hydrogen peroxide do you use? I use 3% but I don’t mix it with water and now I’m a little worried that’s way too much
1 me gusta I use 3% also. I bet it’ll be ok. I would just adjust next time. It won’t build up because when it breaks down it changes to water.
