this is a great treatment for bacterial stuff from rot, but probably won’t solve your gnat problem.

try mosquito bits to treat larvae and traps for adults. your soil is holding onto too much water, inviting the gnats to breed. try repotting into something with more perlite and/or fine orchid bark

I agree. Definitely could be your watering frequency too. I’ve also heard great things about mosquito bits!

Yellow sticky traps work great for the adults. I also like to place a small bowl with a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and water inside next to the plant.

sprinkle a little cinnamon and let it dry out in between waterings. bottom water until you see the problem alleviated

Apparently, adult gnats LOVE yellow so I would get some yellow sticky traps for the adults. Start bottom watering your plants so your plants still receive moisture, but the adult gnats don’t. Try mosquito bits for the larvae. Hope this helped!
