I have little gray bugs all over two of my plants. I’m not sure what they are, but they can fly. They look a bit different to me than fruit flies, but maybe that’s what they are?

    Fungus gnats! They love moist soil and eating roots. The larva hatch in the soil of plants and eat roots. I’ve had plants like pothos thrive even with them, but overall they’re bad for your plants :/ I’d resist watering for a bit and maybe get some yellow sticky traps!

    Also if possible I’d move those two plants away from your other ones! (Separate room, outside even) The spread is the worst part 😅

    I regret to inform you that this is a “fungus gnat” and they can be tricky to get rid of. There’s a product I use called “systemic houseplant granules” that works very well. I tried natural ways like peroxide and neem oil, but I had em in almost all my plants so I went with that method and I went from having TONS to maybe 1 or 2 occasionally. The reason they are hard to get rid of is because they lay eggs in your soil and the larvae feeds on fungus in the soil and then continuing the cycle. Without killing the eggs and the larvae they will keep reproducing. But those granules with get them gone!
