It was suggested I use one drop in a gallon of water with my fertilizer included. I accidentally used a squirt instead of a drop; is there a problem with too much BT for the plant? Any other suggestions about this product would be really appreciated. TIA. 🤗💚🪴 ![Allegato 1 di 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/tvsyJQ4SREeapzGZEFw-9A.webp?size=large) ## 12 commenti ### Malinda ha commentato il 2024-08-01 I’ve been wanting to try this as well I just haven’t purchased it yet. Luckily I only seem to have a few at one time so it’s not crazy but they are annoying little buggers . I’d just water it down if you haven’t used it yet . I’m not sure about using more than directed . I usually have empty gallon jugs around because I use liquid dirt so I’d just poor them into separate jugs \& top it off with more water . #### Lynda ha risposto il 2024-08-01 Thanks for your post. What is liquid dirt? Always ready to learn about new things!

I’ve just gotten more serious about plants the past 2 yrs so I’m still learning but it’s been working for me . It’s the only thing I’ve been using . #### Lynda ha risposto il 2024-08-02 If you don’t mind me asking, what made you use this particular fertilizer? 🤗💚🪴 ### Malinda ha commentato il 2024-08-01 Here are my plants ![Allegato 1 di 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U_HeMMwuLegbQrSKz5Ed1X85GT58qu3Ff6C6ZctN8lQ/fjE3MOlGQ4Ca4WElOkhpKw.webp?size=large) #### Malinda ha risposto il 2024-08-01 ![Allegato 1 di 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U_HeMMwuLegbQrSKz5Ed1X85GT58qu3Ff6C6ZctN8lQ/fpZUOcI1RBO8lPq-J-0W8w.webp?size=large) #### Malinda ha risposto il 2024-08-01 ![Allegato 1 di 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U_HeMMwuLegbQrSKz5Ed1X85GT58qu3Ff6C6ZctN8lQ/_hcGMUfkQ4OVORWlZMXavQ.webp?size=large) ### Malinda ha commentato il 2024-08-01 At least some of them 🤪 ### Plant Lives Matter ha commentato il 2024-08-02 I use A LOT more than a drop. I’m not sure how accurate the instructions really are with regard to fungus gnat control and it’s difficult to find any actual guidance online. But my fungus gnat situation didn’t really improve until I started using about .5 tsp BTI per liter of water (rough estimate). Now they’re basically gone though I still see a couple every once in a while. #### Lynda ha risposto il 2024-08-02 And I thought this was going to be a cheap way to resolve my fungus gnat problem! But it looks like I’m going to use quite a bit more than a drop. I don’t like using the metric system, but it sounds like if you use half a teaspoon for a liter then I would use maybe 2 teaspoons and a drop for a gallon of water; correct? So glad to hear your fungus gnats have virtually disappeared; HOORAY! Regards, 🤗💚🪴 --- _Fonte: la community di Planta (https://getplanta.com). La lettura è aperta a tutti.
