    I wouldn’t spray it and I think it looks healthy. You probably saw a harmless fungus gnat. They are only annoying but not harmful to plants.

    Thank you! What would you recommend spraying it with?

    Neem oil I would just as a preventative so it doesn’t lay fungus eggs in your soil and have a team flying around

      I tried neem oil on my desert rose and all the leaves fell off. Make sure to check dilution, mine was obviously too much.

      it’s the common name for the dieffenbachia. more recently people have been asked not to use it due to its historical origin

      Dumb cane is the same name for a diffenbachia plant

    I think you should get the yellow sticky traps to monitor any fungus gnat population. If the trap catches any, then treat your soil with a systemic pesticide or something for mosquitoes like mosquito dunks. Fungus gnats breed in the top inch or two of moist soil. Your dumb cane can handle a little dryness so make sure you're not overwatering.
