Here's information on getting rid of gnats in plants:
Identifying the Problem:
Before you start treating, make sure you're dealing with gnats (specifically, fungus gnats), not fruit flies or other similar pests. Fungus gnats are small, dark, mosquito-like flies that often appear around houseplants. They are attracted to moist soil. The larvae feed on fungi and decaying organic matter in the soil.
Control Methods:
Let the Soil Dry Out: Gnats thrive in moist environments. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. This deprives the larvae of the moisture they need to survive.
Use Yellow%20Sticky%20Traps: These traps attract adult gnats and prevent them from laying more eggs. Place the traps near the soil surface.
Soil%20Surface%20Barrier](https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Soil%20Surface%20Barrier): Covering the top of the soil with a layer of sand or gravel can make it less attractive to gnats for laying eggs.
Bottom%20Watering: Water your plants from the bottom to avoid moistening the top layer of the soil. Place the plant pot in a tray of water and let it absorb water through the drainage holes.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution: Mix one part 3% hydrogen peroxide with four parts water. Water your plants with this solution. It will kill gnat larvae in the soil without harming the plant. Do not use a higher concentration than 3%.
Bacillus%20thuringiensis%20israelensis%20(Bti): This is a naturally occurring bacterium that is toxic to gnat larvae. Bti is often available as mosquito dunks or granules. Soak the dunks in water and then use the water to irrigate your plants. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Neem Oil: Neem%20Oil can be used as a soil drench to kill larvae. Follow the product instructions.
Repotting: In severe infestations, consider repotting the plant with fresh, sterile potting mix. This will remove the existing larvae and organic matter they feed on.
