Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.

Me and my partner love having plants indoors but we get infested with gnats. We've tried hydrogen peroxide, and the yellow insect stickies and drying the soil out but nothing seems to work.

Any tips?

Try neem cake on top of the soil, it stinks, but it's pet friendly. It saved my drama ficus twice. Also, you might be overwatering

Haha, is it a really strong stink?

Looks interesting. Also seems to have nutrients as well. Will look into this. Thank you!

it's not a deal breaker and after a few days it should go away, also depends on how much you use. I also used to mix it with soil, it might reduce the smell but I don't bother lately since I don't use too much. And it's for sure better than spraying neem oil around lol

Thanks. Will keep this in mind going forward :)
