While suuuper annoying, the gnats won’t harm your plants.

I would be investigating the pot/roots/moisture level in the soil. Yellowing like that is usually an indicator of overwatering.

Thank you so much!!!

this might also be why the gnats are still there. repot, try bottom watering and cinnamon on top.

So gnat larvae can eat at the roots. I’ve experienced this before. I would change out the pot and all new soil

Also isolate that plant
