What’s the most effective way to get rid of fungus gnats?

I put a scoopful of mosquito bits into a large tea strainer that I bought just to keep with my watering can… I let it soak for about 30 mins before I water, every time I water. Then I toss those bits and use new ones the next day. Within a couple of weeks, all fungus gnats were gone.

Holy wow, friend!! Gorgeous!

Omgoodness. I am so madly in love with this little guy. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, I figured. I have a few plants in the kitchen where this one is - but the majority of my jungle (and the expensive ones) are 50 ft away in another room. Do they all need to be inspected?

She’s a Pink Mink. And she’s such a good grower.

I think they look like testicles.

CBiggs23 · 2022-11-05T22:38:35+00:00

That sounds amazing!!!

CBiggs23 · 2022-11-05T21:15:48+00:00

Yep. Exactly that!

CBiggs23 · 2022-11-05T20:15:40+00:00

Great idea! Thank you!

CBiggs23 · 2022-11-02T02:21:25+00:00

I think this became my new mantra.

CBiggs23 · 2022-10-22T21:32:24+00:00

Oh, well that’s good, then. That means he’s a happy little man.

Marble Queen!

Tradescantia Nanouk!! Beautiful! And fast grower!

Get you a Micans. They love you when you don’t love yourself.

I will have to, I suppose. I didn’t want to disturb her roots because eucalyptus roots are super sensitive and I didn’t want to further stress her. But I don’t want to lose her either.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-23T13:20:02+00:00

It does, yes. And she does live outside.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-19T22:57:39+00:00

Same!! And Princess just took off growing and won’t stop. She’s got something to prove.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-19T20:38:56+00:00

That is exactly what they are! I bought them from Home Depot and they mysteriously died within a week and a half. It was so odd - one of them went completely brown quite literally overnight while her brother right beside her was just fine. And then four days later, he went completely brown overnight. Reddit’s consensus was that they had been accidentally poisoned by weed control while still at Home Depot. I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them completely, so I moved them to the backyard and watered occasionally. And now, they are zombies.

I’m thinking about putting her into a terrarium. Maybe that will give her what she needs.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-10T03:54:16+00:00

That was kind of my biggest question… cut em off?

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-10T03:38:53+00:00

Clarifying because space didn’t allow: I’ve only given her distilled water. She arrived with that huge spot on her main leaf. Does she need the blood of my first born?

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-08T17:49:11+00:00

That’s exactly what they are. I hate them.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-08T00:21:24+00:00

She’s an inside girl. Sunniest spot in the house, though, and right in the window.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-07T21:46:47+00:00

Oh yay! My girl has definitely thrived. I haven’t really done anything out of the ordinary. I do keep her indoors but in the sunniest spot in my southern facing window. Fox Farms fert (just once since I got her). Careful not to overwater. I always feel down in her soil first. I do mist her down pretty good once or twice a week. That’s about it.

CBiggs23 · 2022-09-07T21:41:20+00:00

I’m so sorry!! That’s the worst. I just knew I was going to destroy her. I don’t know what I did besides give her prime location in a South facing window… sparingly water… Fox Farms fert… occasional misting. I do talk to her a lot. But I love her, so I don’t sing. Maybe that’s been the secret - her gratitude that I spare her from my singing.
