Handling Fungus Gnats: Keep Your Indoor Plants Healthy 🌿
Fungus gnats can be a nuisance for indoor plants. Here’s how to manage them:
1. Soil Drying: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
2. Sticky Traps: Use yellow sticky traps to catch adult gnats.
3. Beneficial Nematodes: Introduce nematodes to kill larvae in the soil.
4. Sand Layer: Add a layer of sand on top of the soil to deter egg-laying.
5. Neem Oil: Use neem oil to treat soil and kill larvae.
Tips:
- Avoid overwatering indoor plants.
- Regularly inspect for signs of gnats and treat promptly.
- Use well-draining soil mixes to prevent waterlogging.
