Hi there!! I’m noticing some small flies (sort of like fruit flies) on the soil of several of my plants. Any tips or things I should be concerned about?

    Those are fungus gnats. You can either add some mosquito bits to your water when you water them or I just mix some of the bit into my soil

    Try spraying vanilla scented stuff they hate it

    You might want to quarantine your plant, too, at least until the gnats are gone— fungus gnats are super invasive and will get into your other plants if you’re not careful.
