# Help! I don’t know what to do about my Stella calathea I really don’t…

_Postat av Natasha den 2024-06-23_

Help! I don’t know what to do about my Stella calathea I really don’t water it every day just what’s recommended. I did find some bugs in the soil today and I completely cleaned the roots and gave it new soil but what do I do about these leaves?

Do you remember what the bugs looked like? They may still be eating the plant

I think it was the fungus gnats

That’s good, they’re not too damaging to plants but their larvae sometimes will chew on the roots a bit. I add mosquito bits to my plant water to get rid of them

I’ll have to try it out
