Hi, gnats don’t typically harm plants, they just live and breed in the soil. So I’d check for other issues like root rot or another pest. This yellow leaf looks shorter than the others though, so it could just be that leaf didn’t get enough light ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Are you sure you're not seeing another type of pest? Tiny white dots or something? Fungas gnat larvae can harm plant roots, but that's usually on baby plants that it causes a huge issue. #### Dee-Dee님이 2025-01-11에 답변했습니다. She’s in LECA water. I refresh the water every month and add a few drops of fertilizer every 2-3 months. She was practically dead when she was in soil the dirt was infested with gnats when I first got her I repotted but she was doing well. After I placed her in the LECA she bounced back beautifully. There are no signs of pest on her leaves. She does have a number of new leaves uncurling and a few new shoots. I live in PA and it has been cold here I also have her under a grow light for 8 hours a day. #### Stokes님이 2025-01-12에 답변했습니다. Did you get a good solution for this? I also live in PA and my SCM has the same problem! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uS-OTTqTKVuZJrii9B4wlDX1VUV6Dg9S9qwdcpA6nsg/OFrbCOFbQYeQG-gMJBE20w.webp?size=large) #### Dee-Dee님이 2025-01-18에 답변했습니다. Hi! Putting her LECA I feel saved her she was in really poor shape in soil. I wash off the roots every couple of weeks and refresh the water. A personal friend told me it’s the cold weather that causes many plants to turn yellow especially if new leaves are growing in. I pretty much have been cutting the yellow leaves. She still growing new ones so I’m not taking it personally lol. Hopefully she’ll get better in a few months when things warm up in our area. Good luck 🪴🌿💚 ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-01-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. So if it was in soil, with the older leaves yellowing, i would say it might be root bound, or root rotting. You could check the roots to make sure you aren't losing any. I asked about pests because your last Pic looks like possible spider mites. As well as the small dots of damage on some of your leaves. But this one particularly, there's several tiny white dots all over, and on the bottom right looks like webbing on the leaf. It could just be the Pic exposure. But looks suspicious ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/L7H4Wb0KTdiL8FLRH-OkEA.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
