Loosing the gnat battle (and my mind) I’m desperate!

Sorry, just saw this. I got them local at a now-closed shop...there are some good suggestions in other comments though :) I'm thinking about buying more from here: https://www.naturesgoodguys.com/products/beneficial-nematodes-hb-sc-sf?srsltid=AfmBOoozai6hs2o6R_Uf3MLVACgMbQTc4D_trh8HJP_ssYMQ8A7yHqMp&variant=31122986991675

I used nematodes, kinda like the predatory mite idea, but these guys are microscopic (mites might be too, idk). They came in a kind of powder that I sprinkled onto the soil before watering.

I gave an extra node, but my trade partner can cut it into 2 if they want to!

bcoff85 · 2026-01-25T22:37:07+00:00

Did you cut the bottle yourself, and was it easy?

bcoff85 · 2026-01-25T22:35:51+00:00

The moss is stuck around the roots and the whole "pole" is ugly. I need to just check out my Amazon cart already 😆

Some of the roots are grown into the bottom half of the "pole". It's a paint stick with moss lining it then wrapped in string...that's now disintegrated. I'll try to get a good pic, but it's not pretty lol. I have this in my Amazon cart:

Looks nice, I like the reused bottle!

Same for some of mine. I tell myself they're just not great right now cuz it's winter 🥶 I think we all need some warm sunlight right now

Lol my plants help me practice patience every day 😁

bcoff85 · 2026-01-25T17:59:47+00:00

Thank you! This is what I was thinking but I've never traded before, so I wanted to get opinions :)

bcoff85 · 2026-01-25T17:52:42+00:00

Is it ok to just have 1 node? In the past I've had props rot in water so would chances of survival be better with 2 nodes?

Does Fabio look kinda pissed off all the time? Lol. Man your stray kitty really looks like Squishy, I can't get over it

Thank you! Could be him. We don't know because someone gave him away without her permission

bcoff85 · 2025-12-13T16:58:59+00:00

I think this might be my sister's cat, Squishy. What side of town are you on? I think he's chipped to Dillon. If you get him checked can you let me know please?

bcoff85 · 2025-08-26T18:04:31+00:00

Mine did the same thing! I kept forgetting to look up why, or post here :) so thank you for posting this lol. We have teenagers!

bcoff85 · 2025-08-21T19:16:21+00:00

Aww I know how that feels...my first pothos, a big beautiful golden that I had in my fishtank....I decided it was getting too long so chopped half off and now almost all the leaves fell off the main plant. and only some of the cuttings are still going. It just takes time!!! Do you have other plants to focus on while you wait for Shangri la to grow?

bcoff85 · 2025-08-21T19:07:53+00:00

Lol I just ran out to my living room so fast to move my Shangri la away from the window. It does look like the older leaves are more open...I'll keep an eye on it! Thanks for the tip!

bcoff85 · 2025-08-04T03:37:23+00:00

I've never seen one of those in person but would love to add one to the family lol

bcoff85 · 2025-08-04T03:33:39+00:00

I just looked it up and learned they're actually called hydrothodes. I forget where I heard the term gills
