Elapse

😣😬😬. I have this plant shelf with 3 plants on it (Christmas cactus cutting, moth orchid, monstera). First: a small question- Is this orchid root heathy? I know the one behind it isn’t but that is from saving it from root rot about a year ago. Second and more importantly: I’ve been seeing these gnat things and it seems like there are more everyday lol. What are they? I haven’t noticed any damage to my plants but I did have one flying annoyingly flying around last night while I was reading in bed. I counted about 5 just now. Please help

    those look like fungus gnats! they aren’t anything to worry about, just annoying. i would say if you want to reduce their numbers, try either a sticky trap or a vinegar trap, and reduce how much yiu water the orchid
