How do I save my birds of paradise and stingray plant? The stingray plant had fungus gnats I don’t know how. But it spread to my other plants 🥲!!! Someone have any tips on getting rid of them?

Mosquito bits. Make a tea out of them and water your plants with it until they are gone. May take a few waters for all of the fungus gnats to be gone but it’s easy and fixed it for me

I don’t think those are fungus gnats on the bird of paradise. Those look more like thrips or spider mites but it’s hard to tell. Treat with neem oil. Spray down leaves generously
