# I have a catch 22 with my indoor house plants. They like being…

_Gepostet von Indoor plant issue am 2024-01-20_

I have a catch 22 with my indoor house plants. They like being outside on my porch and thrive there. Much better there because they actually get some indirect sunlight. I prefer them there too because then I don’t get so many fruit flies from them inside. However, it has become winter and they no longer survive in the cold. I brought my money tree in and it appears to be frozen and not doing so well. So do I keep them inside, away from Sun which they don’t like, and I get fruit flies, or, can I put them on my patio and have them suffer the cold (30\* at night)? I feel like I lose either way.

I bought these yellow sticky bug sheets from Amazon \& they’ve captured a TON of those little bugs \& keep on working. Highly recommend.

I brought everything in from my porch for winter and bought a couple of grow lights. I’ll move them back in the spring.

Those are fungus gnats…. Watch Sheffield Made Plants on YouTube, he explains in many videos how to get rid of them. I second the grow light!

Adding mosquito bits before watering and the fungus gnats will be decimated pretty quickly.
