# I got this a few days ago since a friend told me it could help with…

_Posted by Kiara on 2023-06-19_

I got this a few days ago since a friend told me it could help with gnats (it’s definitely caught a few since I brought it home). I’ve done a bit of research and I know they like lots of light and distilled water but other than that I’m so lost and really don’t want to kill it!! I’ve been keeping it in a little bit of water as i saw they don’t like to dry out, but I also saw somewhere to let them dry just a bit every so often? I don’t know. Can anyone give me some tips to give it a happy home :) watering (schedule?) and soil type would help tons!
