# I love giving my baby rubber plant a nice thorough watering some days…

_Geplaatst door Stevie op 2024-11-16_

I love giving my baby rubber plant a nice thorough watering some days but I really can’t seem to avoid the pesky fugus gnats and my friend told me to try vinegar was wondering if any of you knew if it worked or not I don’t want to risk irritating my plant ☺️

I have about 120 plants and the gnats were making me rethink my hobby. I saw in one group to use Microbe-Lift BMC with every watering (I use just a few drops per gallon) - flushing through allowing it to drain - and I haven’t had much of a problem since. I also let my plants dry out as much as they can tolerate between watering.

Why thank you I will be trying that I just get super nervous because I tend to end up killing plants from lack of water but I’m happy I’m getting the hang of it

I use the same! I had a bad infestation and I used the BMC drop with every single water and it’s been a game changer.
