Does anyone have this plant? I’m new to taking care of plants and I noticed little gnats started coming out of the soil. I read that it’s from overwatering, so I stopped watering it! But the gnats keep coming out and I don’t know what else to do.
They are awful! I’ve been battling almost a year! I don’t know about overwatering, but mine were in the soil I bought from Home Depot. I used it to transplant a couple plants and I’ve been weeping ever since!

This may be unpopular opinion but I buy the mosquito bits and follow the instructions for getting rid of fungus gnats on the package. It does work and then I make sure not to let my soil stay too wet and also if I have any drip trays to empty those frequently. I also have little gnat sticky traps that stick in the pot. I brought them home in a new plant unknowingly.

To piggy back this, you can buy the mosquito dunks and just keep one in your watering can to always have mosquito bit tea to water your plants with. I keep about a quarter of a dunk in my watering can until it’s sinks or starts to break apart too much then I put a new one in. Also, zevo plant bug traps are wonderful as well as the yellow sticky traps. If it’s not a plant that can handle drying out and staying dry for a few days, always water with mosquito bit tea. It kills the eggs and larvae and the parents will either die off naturally or be caught by the sticky traps.
