    I've been using a sprinkle of cinnamon across the top of the soil,,, the gnats usually come in on new plants from the store where they overwatered... It takes a couple of watering to really spread the cinnamon around,, the gnats and any fungus is gone... I do love H2O2 also,, but love cinnamon and the plants find it a treat.. Gorgeous plants btw...

    Great video! You did a fantastic job! That plant is a lucky one! When I pot up a plant, I like to put a few cans up-side-down on the bottom of the pot to keep the roots a bit elevated (I put the dirt right on top of these cans). I loved the risers in the saucers. I did not know they were around. Again, I use up-side-down cans to elevate the pot further from the saucer, if needed.

    I love H202 too, such a useful thing. I use it for watering esp. in winter (to prevent fungus, root rot and give the plants extra boost - they seem to like it and grow better afterwards) and to kill fungus gnats. I tried it also on spidermites in soil, but it didn´t work on them - they hid and survived it. I never used it on leaves but will give a try when needed. Thank you for the tips - I can extend its use now 🙂

    • @BobCampbell530
      @BobCampbell530 Рік тому +1

      I also found that H2O2 did not kill fungus gnats. I ended up replacing the soil, but since then I have come across a couple of preventative measures that I have yet to try. They are to cover the top of the soil with either vermiculite or diatomaceous earth.

    • @SparkleInMoonlight

I have been mixing Neem oil (so nasty) with water and dish soap but it's not working. Gonna try this.
