    Mixture of apple cider vinegar warm water sugar and dish soap or sticky traps for adults

      This works to keep them at bay! My plants have gnats and as long as I have a cup of this stuff near the plants with gnats then I see them a lot less. And bottom watering!

    I’ve had a big gnat problem with my peace lily, I started watering her less as an experiment and she’s still super healthy and the gnats have almost completely gone away. I don’t know if this will be the case for you but typically planta has you water a lot more frequently than needed.

    These gnats love damp or wet soil, try to water less often or only when the plant is dried out and they should slowly go. Fly stickers are a help too, which get the adult gnats.

    I’ve also watered the plants with two part water, one part hydrogen peroxide. It’s supposed to kill the eggs
