Also gnats don’t typically harm plants very much. The larvae might chew on plant roots a little bit, but what gnats really like is fungus in the soil, not the plants themselves. So if your plants are dying, there’s probably something else going on.

I use cinnamon on the top of the soil. Natural fungicide.

Like what I have in my kitchen?

is the soil still wet? or drying out regularly?

Some of them are damp from recent water some are dry and have to be watered. The roots are blackening and dropping leaves im at a loss and so sad about my plants I’ll try anything to save them I’m at the point of trying to toss the soil and re pot them

if the roots are dark, cut off the soft mushy ones with a sterile shears. then soak the active roots in 2:1 water/peroxide mixture. then repot or let sit in water until more roots grow. don’t give up, you can revive them. just like waterlogged and causing root rot from not enough sun/watering too often. use the app as a reminder but snooze if plants are wet

They are all in different rooms but it’s happening to all of them
