I cannot, for the life of me, get the nats out of this monstera! Can someone offer any suggestions? So far, I’ve used plant spray for insects that is made with natural ingredients so they are safe for plants. But still bugs. I got knat traps. And those work a little but they still keep coming.

I add neem oil to the water when it becomes a struggle, but usually the gnats are from too much water. But your soil looks dry. Another way to to reduce is to put a topper layer on the soil. Makes it hard for the gnats to lay eggs in the soil to break the cycle.
