I’m a new plant lover. Am I over reacting. ? ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/IyWqPPtZNhAc-C5iDgxqURozclAnjHQtY6FfMRJ60aI/Ocg9D4JeQTWqCEzIrOqJMg.webp?size=large) ## 13件のコメント ### SueBさんが2024-03-12にコメントしました They are likely fungus gnats. If you tousle the leaves or lift the pots they will likely fly out. But if one has it there are likely more #### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12に返信しました Oh No. I can’t figure out which plant it is. #### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12に返信しました I sprayed the soil with a diluted hydrogen peroxide mixture. I read that that helps. I only seen one I sprayed the soul for three days now ### SueBさんが2024-03-12にコメントしました Use yellow sticky traps too. They can help eliminate some of the flying adults. I also used some small bowls with apple cider vinegar, plastic wrap over the top and some holes poked in the plastic. They get in but can’t get out. Watering from the bottom helps I understand because the larvae is in the top inch or so of soil. #### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12に返信しました Thanks. I’m going to start doing bottom watering from now on I read up o how to do that. It is worth the extra steps todo that ### Magneticgarden\_さんが2024-03-12にコメントしました I use a "Katchy" it's an electrical device that catches the gnats and traps them on a sticky pad located in the bottom of the device. I have very good luck with it. However a lot of people recommend using systematic granules prior to watering to combat these tiny pests. 😊 #### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12に返信しました That’s a good idea but it doesn’t solve the source of the knats right? ### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12にコメントしました I discovered the culprit and it was the money plant I over watered months ago. I saved most of the plant but what I didn’t realize is that it got a fungus which caused the knats. I clipped some branches to proprogate but honestly I threw the rest of the plant in the trash. It’s beyond saving that soil. I’ll start a new plant with fresh soil ### Ma Gさんが2024-03-12にコメントしました I didn’t want it to infest my other plants so I threw it in the trash and sealed it up. My other plants are all good. I inspected them all. ☘️🌱😁 ### SueBさんが2024-03-12にコメントしました Sometimes it best. I fought those things for months 🥲 ### ABucketOfPlantsさんが2024-03-13にコメントしました 1\. You can try and get a carnivorous plant 2\. Get yellow fly sticky traps 3\. Spray the top inches of soil with rubbing alcohol. 4\. Only bottom water your plant. #### Ma Gさんが2024-03-13に返信しました The alcohol won’t kill the plant? #### ABucketOfPlantsさんが2024-03-13に返信しました Nope --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
