I Tried Everything for Fungus Gnats… This Finally Fixed It

If you’re dealing with fungus gnats in your houseplants and they just won’t go away, this might be the reason. In this video, I share what happened during my indoor growing experiment when I ended up with hundreds of fungus gnats in the soil — even after adjusting watering, changing the soil mix, and tweaking humidity. The real issue wasn’t what I expected. If your fungus gnats keep coming back, your soil stays wet for too long, or your plants are struggling with root rot, this is worth watching. ⇢ My Top Plant Care Tools! 👉 https://leafylovin.kit.com/leafylovin_plant_toolkit 🌿 Got a plant that's struggling?
