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...

[@neerdowell7192]

I think you could definitely make a series out of fixing other people's plant problems as I'm sure you could help many more people out, great work very entertaining and informative!

[@elsewhere-vk4zq]

you know, it’s such a shame you can only leave 1 thumbs-up 😢 I’d leave way more than that… this girl knows her game.

[@sophiakowalski5986]

not only are you helping my plants, but your sunny disposition is helping me! much better mood and plants after watching this!!!

[@Hawk867]

I second the Mosquito Bits! I use them straight in the soil of every plant I have (doesn’t take much), so they don’t just plant jump. Works like a charm.

[@elephantsong7782]

[@thaliabudai2013]

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.

That sounds exactly what I need to do to cure a few houseplants that I overwatered for years and now have white mold. No gnats thank goodness! Hope it works!

Best to treat white powdery mildew is by spraying milk and water mixture and then put the plant under direct sunlight. Kill all spores.

What a huge difference after being repotted! I used the hydrogen peroxide mix often and have found it a much better and economical way to rid fungus gnat larvae in the soil. Thank you for the seed info, I'm definitely trying that next time! Love your channel!

[@murusorowangu]

Thank you for this video. I'll be ordering a bottle. I've only seen hydrogen peroxide used for pest control but never for regular plant care. I'll be trying some of these methods and I'll let you know.

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's literally got so many uses - it's brilliant stuff!

[@2112res]

Using it on perlite pre-pot is genius.

[@davidchausse-mi5dg]

I had gnats in my first cannabis grow from using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. My second grow using same soil I pretreated the soil by soaking it with 4 parts water and 1 part 3 % hydrogen peroxide. Success fungus gnats completely gone. It did not kill the microbes in the soil and my cannabis plants are beautiful.

[@bealight5141]

appreciate the info thanks 🙏

[@whatscookingatrays]

Just found your channel looking for info on using hydrogen peroxide. I've never used it with houseplants and really interested in seeing the results. Love your channel btw.

[@lizmclean5342]

This works for me.Spray the plants with pesticide.Spray the top of the soil.Then put the plant in a clear plastic bag,Take it to an open area every couple days& give it a spray, water if needed.Tie it up tight.Continue this until u cant see any bugs.I also put a strip of sticky tape inside. After they have been debugged.I take them out doors away from the house & repot them.Wash the pots in hot bleach water

[@christinak2443]

Omg this was amazing 😮

[@worldgonemad1977]

Thank you for your tips. I am just about off my head with the amount of fungus gnats on my plants just now, even using the sticky traps! I even found one in my tea yesterday!🤮So thank you once again 💕

[@pandorar1388]

Try sprinkling cinnamon on the top of the soil, fungus gnats won't lay their eggs on the cinnamon, and will eventually disappear....also, makes your house smell good!

[@thaliabudai2013]

In the US they sell a granulate called "Mosquito bits" it is very effective in killing fungus gnats. I now mix it into my potting mix. But Hydrogen peroxide should work as well!

[@kjmcarl4257]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you!

[@donnalynch6845]

Thank you,looking forward to it

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

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]

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]

@Bob Campbell yeah,some fungus gnats always fly away, but H2O2 doesn't seem to be sufficient to eradicate them at all. But it's helpful anyway

[@its_notta_cedar]

A taller pot holds less water in the bottom than a shallow pot because there's more gravity pulling the water through the soil column counteracting the capillary action which creates the perched water table at the bottom of the pot. So if length and width are the same a bonsai pot will hold as much or more water than this one. Big pots appear to hold more water because people will up pot from 1 gallon to a 35 gallon. All that's happening there is the plant doesn't have enough roots or foliage to use all the water.

[@angelalava7856]

Thank you for the info and I love the accent.

[@ayee_ja2898]

My plants were doing so well for the past few months and bam…over the past few weeks fungus gnats have really taken over. Repotting and using the hydrogen peroxide seems like the best bet. Thank you so much!

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's that time of year unfortunately - they breed like crazy! 💚

[@brianhardaway9716]

I use aquarium gravel. Just apply a layer over the soil, spray with the 4/1 mixture or Neem oil mixture and the problem is gone.

[@muCephei_]

@@brianhardaway9716 Omg, thank you for this. It would also make the plant look great!

[@pauletteharmon6778]

Add boiling water to new soil before potting your plants let it cool spraying top with mix of hydrogen peroxide and water put cinnamon on top. Gnats hate the smell and In makes plants smell good

[@dhendrix1292]

Mosquito bits work. Diatomaceous earth helps. Replace top 3 inches of soil where they breed.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Hi! I “wintersow” my seeds but I’m going to try this soaking before planting. Thanks!🌸

[@RavenVargas27]

Looks like a new plant when you finished you did an excellent job. The main thing is you have to kill the gnat larvae and eggs peroxide kills the fungus but a few drops of dish soap mixed in spray on the top soil kills them. I just did it to one of my badly gnat infested plants they died fast and the peroxide made the plant grow better I also put cinnamon powder on the top soil around the plant kills fungus

[@ilovecornell]

Great job and video! You’re plant looked so good and you definitely needed that perlite mixed in the soil. I was kind of surprised at the amount of peroxide you were using. I thought it was just a few drops per gallon of water. Also wondering if anyone knows if this is good for ants and if I can use this on succulents?

[@irenapostolovska1754]

I just love your videos 🙂

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much 💚

[@annalawton8163]

Enjoyed your video, I just brought. a couple of new plants , now in isolation , but I give all my plants peroxide water

[@UHOOHEXTRATECH]

Got those gnats! I killed them till they're dead! It's satisfying watching the soil bubble. Thanks for the video.

[@Trazynn]

Surrounding the plants with sticker sheets works great as well. This doesn't improve the soil however but if you hang those sheets everywhere around the pots then the gnats will eventually go extinct.

[@LUCKEY11202.]

Claire thank you, for this great video on the use of perioxide for plants . I mostly use cinnamon powder to help my plants if I suspect root rot, but with fungus gnats I resorted to those ugly sticky traps. I will be using the diluted solution to water the two plants that have the gnats,which I checked the roots for rot and they’re fine.

[@TheJungleHaven]

I've used the blue/yellow sticky traps before too and they're a right pain! Hydrogen peroxide is awesome for fungus gnats, but if the infestation is terrible (like this one) sometimes repotting and then treating is the best option

[@jmj5101]

Yup cinnamon powder is healing and helps to get rid of ants in hibiscus plants too

[@jmj5101]

I usually use white vinegar and water to wash all pots and equipment. Cheaper than hydrogen peroxide 😄
