Hi Everyone,

I’m having trouble in my flat with small black flies and I believe they are coming from a plant?

Could anyone help with what I should do to get rid of them and prevent them please? Thanks :)

Called fungus gnats, they thrive in wet soil due to irregular watering/overwatering, you can use systematic pellets in the soil which can kill them off and also use fly traps :)

I had something similar happen to me! Neem oil helped a lot. Spray on your plants soil when it’s relatively dry, and it helps get rid of fungus gnats.
