Carnivorous Plants Fungus Gnats

Hi all,

As we know carnivorous plants require lots of watering, often with the soil staying damp. How do you deal with fungus gnats when this is the case? I have a drosera that is thriving in all manners except for gnats. Thanks

you could change it’s growing medium and put it in a place with no other plants so it won’t house them again, but also keep in mind it probably is feeding off the gnats
