Tiny flies buzzing around your plants? Those are fungus gnats, and they thrive in damp soil! Here’s how to kick them out:

  1. Let soil dry – gnats hate dry conditions.
  2. Sticky traps – catch adults before they lay eggs.
  3. Treat soil – use beneficial nematodes or Bti bacteria.
  4. Keep it clean – remove fallen leaves & decaying matter.

Repeat and monitor—your plants will thank you! 🌿
