What do I do? Why is my calathea (peacock plant) turning yellow? I have been watering it as per app and it’s by the window in my office. Gnats?

Overwatering, likely. The moldy soil and gnats are a sign that it’s staying moist for too long. You could repot into a better draining soil. And make sure you are letting it drain completely before putting it back into its saucer/cache pot.

Try letting it dry out until the first three inches of soil dry out

And maybe sprinkle some cinnamon on the soil
