@@SheffieldMadePlants Yay, I now have your book! 📕 Thank you 🙏🏽!!
Absolutely brilliant, you star ! Damn, we get a lot of these annoying flies. Tried everything but the nematodes. Right on it now, thank you !
Making my soil from scratch really changed my life. I make a custom mix for pretty much every plant. Coconut coir, Volcanic Rock, charcoal, worm castings, orchid bark, perlite, sphagnhm moss, and tiny river stones are my favorite materials to work with.
Honestly, might be adding a bit too much. bark coir pearlite compost is much simpler and provides more or less the same or better benefit
Its good one for sure, but a little bit overkill for regular housplants. You might seen or even use soil like this in terrariums, but the reason for that is you dont replace the soil in a terrarium. The terrarium soil needs to be as compounding resistant as possible. If you replant in every year or so, you could go with a much simpler, cheaper soil without any regret.
@siddharthpothini3887 this is just ingredients/pallet I use. The mixture is different for each plant and I don't use everything for each one lol for example I'll mix coco coir, Volcanic Rock, and perlite evenly mixed when I wanna make my succulent soil.
@adamnagy4544 this is just ingredients/pallet I use for all plants and i dont use everything at once for each one. The mixture is different for each plant/place the plant is placed. "Good water, good light, good soil makes all the difference" in the words of Mr. Shefield himself. I also use a Zerowater filter and water conditioner for pretty much everything too haha overkill is the name of the game for me. I think it's more so having fun doing it feeling like a shaman (I have 219 babies on my planta app haha) also, I've saved A LOT of money since I've switched to making my own supplies. All of this stuff in bulk can make WAY more soil then having to buy multiple types (succulent, tropical, regular houseplant, flowers, etc.) It's easier and cheaper (for me) to just make it all from scratch 😎 plus having a much less chance of creepy crawlies makes life easier for me too (I put my own culture of springtails in almost all my plants to prevent mold, once again overkill lol)
Yes. At first i felt like I was exaggerating by buying so many different types of bags but ever since my succulents are perfect and my orchids flower beautifully all the time
Pumice works for gnats, 'gnat barrier' is made from pumice. Plants love pumice. Add pumice to all your soil mixes and no gnats with bonus added soil aeration.
The easiest and most fun solution for me has been Butterworts/Pinguicula plants. They are carnivorous plants with sticky dew (not the ones with little mouths). They trap and absorb any flying insects. They are super easy to grow, since they want permanently wet soil, which means never having to guess how much or when to water. They also have very pretty and abundant flowers (some of mine never stop flowering). I just have a few nestled between groups of plants and I can count the amount of gnats I've seen flying around in a year time on one hand. Notes on care: they prefer distilled water which is available in most grocery stores (also used for clothes irons), higher humidity gives them more dew, they like sunlight. Drosera/sundew plants function basically the same. They are slightly less effective for small gnats but do look spectacular especially when they have big dew droplets which are gorgeous (again: high humidity). Hope anyone with flying insects try them out!
If you’re reusing dirt and plan on reconstituting it, line a pan with foil, dump the dirt in preferably dry and bake it at 250F for 20 minutes. This sterilizes it killing nats and eggs.
I bought a bag of soil with the holes once and I left it sitting a few weeks before I was ready to repot and had fungus gnats flying around and up my nose in my eyes, I didn’t know what or where they came from until my granddaughter and I opened the bag and she saw a swarm of them coming out of the bag the soil was in, by this time it was winter and I threw the whole bag out in the snow. They are what nightmares are made of (not a bug person) 😅
Oh my gosh 😩
ewwww
I've just checked a bag of ericaceous soil I've had for couple of months, yes the bag had those little holes in. So took it outside and opened it 😮 swarming with gnats. I'll start using coco coir from now on for my plants. Thanks Mr Sheffield 👍
@@susannaylor451 I’m glad you took it outside, those things are a pain in the petunia
Blessings 💜💚
Who knew? I used to wonder why the holes! Thanks for being so informative!
Happy to help!
This spring i had a ridiculous problem with the gnats. I went on a literal hunt for the mosquito bits. The last store said they had 4. I got an employee to pull the ladder and get it from the overstock. The soil i used was for container gardening and the plants were tropical (yuca, banana), so i couldn't put them outside until it was warmer. The bits saved my sanity.
I'm now drying out a bag in the sun that has some gnats. I'll be prepping some bits tomorrow to have at the ready.
I've bought small quantities of Mosquito Bits from a UK e-Bay sellers and its worked really good. Highly recommend !
Mosquito Bits? Haven’t heard of this here in Oz.
@@mpras684 It's an American product so its hard or very expensive to get it outside of the states. But essentially it's a granule you mix with water to release the bacteria. This targets the larva of the gnat fly and breaks the cycle.
@@MistaJakey Great! Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like potent stuff
I just tried this for my plants before I went out of town, so I’m looking forward to seeing how well it worked when I get home.
@@MistaJakeyit's been available on eBay for a while, I've used it for a couple of years. It's good but not 100% failsafe. I have to still use the yellow sticky traps, and a thing they seem to love is innocent smoothie, the apple one. I discovered it by accident and now I put a wee drop in bottles and cover the top with cling film, make holes and they flock to it and can't escape.
I kept my chunky mix simple with coco coir, orchid bark and pumice at different ratios depending on the plant. Worm castings are great; however, they attract fungus nats as well. As soon as switched to slow release fertilizer + diluted Dyno-Grow (each watering) it made a huge difference with pests.
I had lots of success with nematodes 😺👍
mis-attribution error. fungus gnats only eat already rotting material. the roots of your plant rotted and only then got eaten by the gnats. it's the mix that's still a problem but typically not because it contains fungus gnat eggs--which can occasionally happen in transit--but because the mix readily rots and holds too much water. i found out the hard way that you can have zero fungus gnats and still have roots rot away, blissfully unaware of the problem until the plant goes into quick decline after growing well. it happens with fine media that does not rot, but the media still compacts too much and holds too much water.
i've changed over to almost entirely 1-7mm pumice, with only some peat, for vigorous plants with fine roots. same pumice with zero organic matter for aroids. 7-20mm pumice only for orchids. and also this larger pumice but with some chunky coir for large pots with monstera and coir for moss poles.
similarly re-potted outside pot plants to almost entirely either the finer or the larger pumice, with some coir and sand for plants that dont mind extra moisture, and pumice alone where additional drainage needed. previously all the outside pot plants contained mostly organic matter, and almost always it went either hydrophobic or the other way, soggy. there's just no way to see this until you re-pot. now with almost all pumice and sand mixes for outdoor pot plants, it should be almost impossible to not provide the required water and air to roots of those plants. organic matter is way over-rated as potting medium and also over-rated as garden soil additive. causes more problems than any benefits in long run.
Mr Sheffield, you are both entertaining and educational, love your channel so much. I would never have imagined this about gnats 🤓
Thank you 😊
I'm in USA. Love all your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
What about neem oil? I used it for aphids and it worked. It reduced gnats population as well, and it's cheap. Pretty funny to see neem oil for hair on amazon and then the reviews only talk about pest control. Only tip i can give is to watch out when spraying the leaves. Some black spots appeared in my basil saplings and i removed those at the time. Don't know if the oil held moisture against the leaves or something else, but in theory you should just spray the soil.
@ShefieldMadePlants: Thank you for this. I did not know this about soil mixes! Omg...
Mini-Story: I always had more than 100 orchids and 40+ houseplants, including Calatheas, in my house. I never had any issues with gnats. Even when I introduced them on my aquarium woods for a fungus-free decor, I had no problems. I realized I had been lucky to buy good soil and orchid media for over 20 years.
Last February, I bought a soil that had many holes on the side and was labeled "Premium" on both the front and back. HA! From March to mid-July, I was battling gnats 24/7! I couldn't watch TV, eat cereal, or make a salad without them diving onto the leaves, into our beverages, and even inside the toilet seat. When you have a serious gnat issue, you miss simple things like yawning, taking big breaths, drinking from a glass without a lid, or leaving your food unattended for a few minutes to answer a phone call. You suddenly find yourself slapping your own cheeks because something is crawling on you, passing in front of your face, or even trying to climb inside your nose. These little monsters would fly at any light source at night, including my tablet screen while I was trying to sleep, often with 4-5 gnats running around. It was really bad, and I wish no one else experiences the same. Be careful of the soil you bring into your home!
I tried the huge yellow sticky cards they sell for trees. After a week, the yellow color was completely covered by a gray carpet of dead gnats, but the gnat population wasn't decreasing at all! I tried every remedy out there. I even considered Sheffield's nematode solution, but I couldn't order it at my location. In the end, I had to throw out my three awesome HUGE Calatheas, their pots, and the rest of the soil mix. Now, one month later, I am gnat-free again.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I place a banana peel in a gallon zip top open bag to attract the nats that apparently come into the house on the fruit from the store or market. The nats inside the bag are captured by pulling the top together, rolling, closing and zipping the bag. I walk them in the bag 300 feet away and empty the contents incuding the nats. (Somtimes I'll just place the closed bag in the dumpster). Then I retrieve the banana peels and repeat the process. I place the open gallon bag containing the old used peels, fresh peels added, or both peels back on the shelf above the commode and repeat the process daily.
I am In Canada and I buy plants from a local plant store 50 percent of the time. Last week I told the woman that works there I have fungus gnats she asked me if I use miracle grow soils and that that brand has gnat eggs and of course that was the brand I was using. Miracle grow does not sterilize their soil. Unless you want to repot all your plants she said to put one tsp of dawn dish soap in a spray bottle with water and spray the soil everytime after I water the plants and it takes a few months to get them gone but that is what she said to do. Calatheas do not do this re pot those. She said it is safe.
I also use diluted hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle
Dagnabit, I use Miracle Gro inside and out for potted plants. 🤦🏽♀️ Thank you for sharing your experience. Thankfully the huge bag I got from Costco last year has recently been emptied, so I can look for a better soil next time. I’m also in Canada (Southwestern Ontario) . Best of luck in your fungus gnats battle! 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Omg! Thank you for this tip. I only ever am able to find Miracle Grow...
I live in California. I bought several bags of potting soil and spread it liberally over a large outdoor planter, hoping to give it a spring boost. Within two weeks, a very nasty weed called VETCH sprang up throughout the planter! It took me three YEARS to finally pull out the last of it. We're advised to put bags of mulch, potting soil, etc., in the hot sun for two weeks before using, to kill any insects and weed seeds. That didn't work! So the next time, I bought recycled compost from the city recycle plant. Even worse! Got yards of compost full of obnoxious weeds, including Star Thistle, crab grass and worst of all - SPURGE! OMG! I'm still fighting that one! Maybe I should buy a red rolling pin? I need all the help I can get!!!
Sounds like a nightmare. The rolling pin is good for your spirit at least 😂
Nematodes combined with sticky pads worked a treat for me. Especially as they made their home in a bioactive vivarium and that limited what I could attack them with!
I’ve been lucky with fungus gnats. I’ve had them of course, but not in any great quantity. It’s great to know there’s remedies besides yellow sticky sticks in case it gets worse.
2:47 The foliage plant behind you next to the Alocasia polly is beautiful!
Cheers!
Most of my gnats were coming in through the drains. I bought plugs for all my drains and that stopped that problem.
I like to keep springtails and isopods in my soil. They act like a little clean up crew if you don't mind helpful bugs in your pots
We used to have a terrible problem with gnats. We get a few sometimes but not an epidemic. Never knew that about the holes in soil bags but I don't think I have bought any like that. Good to know though
I had a fungus gnat infestation that was luckily limited to just one plant. I ended up trying the hydrogen peroxide method, but didn't see any immediate results. But as part of the treatment, I covered the plant in a plastic bag to keep the gnats from spreading to my other plants. It took months but it seems keeping the population enclosed like that made them die out. And the plant is still alive and well - I didn't need to water it during that time since the bag was keeping the humidity stable 😁
Some of the best souls ever come in bags, like simple ziplock bags, usually 2 or 5L , then the centre has a label simple, with the name of the substrate or amendment
I’ve had fungus gnats, and really bad. But never once have I had issues with my roots while having gnats
They attack newly rooted or tiny saplings more than bigger established plant roots.
Love the nematodes. They work really well
Thank you again, Mr Sheffield!!!!
I got those gnats years ago and am still fighting them. Just when I think they’re gone BAM. Now I know it’s the soil…
I use homemade worm castings, a cheap soil i got and perlite and my plants are happy
Only use bags of compost that have those holes or my own compost I've made for outside plants and garden as well as my house plants. Had a few gnats flying aound but nothing too bad (little moths coming in when the windows are open are worse LoL). Got a couple of carnivorous plants and keep the compost bags in the green house so either it drys out or the little critters in there must sort out any potential issues 🤷🏼♂️
Best and most have video for newbies in house plants!
I never have any issues with gnats or any type of plague I water with dishwater ! Sometimes bottom watering sometime top I have been doing so for 30 years I really enjoy your channel!
Thanks!
Thank God I don't have these gnats to battle. Actually my plants don't have any problem with plagues.
I only open the window in the morning and I have a Spartan protocol for new plants arriving.
I have planted my new string of bananas.
I did use a great soil - nope, not these compost ones - and used perlite for the first time.
It's amazing!
I watered the plant on the sink and let all the water to stop falling.
I did put it on the hanger.
Later there was water on the floor.
The perlites took all the water from the vase.
Plant happy, mom happy.
Thank you Mr. Sheffield (Fran Fine's voice).
😂❤
I'm waiting for 5 more plants. Now I have 15 that is 10 in the flora world.
Five plants are always having a problem.
I put them in the bedroom and when visitors come they are stunned by my plants.
I never let any visitor, especially family members, enter my bedroom.
"I've just put tick venom."
"The bedroom was painted and I'm allergic to the smell of the paint."
I'm very creative in finding reasons.😂😂
❤
.
Thank you for your information. I have that flies all over my pots no matter what I do. Can’t get rid of it 😢😢😢
Good night Vienna :D I rewinded to check if I heard that correctly. Love your presentation, thank you for the good time and the helpful infos!
I've finally managed to get on top of this. Not had any issues with gnats this year.
I've oven cooked on a low temperature any compost intended for the house. Two big foil roasting trays fills a large box (the type you used to store your mixes in) with ready to use sterilised compost. Enough to last for several months worth of repottings.
I've used sticky traps on pots to deal with a few that came in on new plants. Haven't spotted any since.
I've also avoided buying new plants from shops and only used online order cuttings so they've got no soil with them.
I'm disappointed with the quality of bagged peat free though. So I may in future purchase my own coconut coir and mix it with bagged worm castings, then use that to mix up with perlite/bark etc.
I really enjoy making my own mixes.
I wonder if gnats take up residence in worm castings? Or are they dry? 😮
Not sure
Yes! Heartily agree. I treat all my plants twice a year with nematodes. It’s brilliantly easy and very effective.
Thanks for your vids, always informative and entertaining!
Wonderful!
Nematodes were effective enough for me to already notice the difference after 2 weeks. And my house is still quite low on them 2 years later. Yes there definitely still are gnats but they are no longer annoying the shit out of me and no longer destroy plants. And yes I do still spot nematodes in my soil, so not 100% killing the gants actually prevents me from having to buy order them again.
Thank you so much. I had a problem with a couple of my plants. Now I know why thank you thank you thank you.
Glad I could help!
I love your sarcasm,you are so funny and informative and my favorite plant guy!Hi from midcoast Maine..❤🇺🇸☺️
Beautiful Maine 🪴
Thanks!
I used neem oil pellets….diluted in water….and this year….its been good night Vienna ….so far ….zilch ❤
Im also still fighting the fungus gnat war but there are so few now that I dont even notice them. Ever since I got one of those blue light plug in things with a sticky board on it, (I got it from amazon I think it was called safer home, and i got generic refill sticky boards for less on there too)a few months ago the population continues to dwindle. Even my carnivorous plants aren't catching many anymore!
I'm learning no matter where I buy my ingredients for my soil, they can always come infested with something. The last bag of bark I bought had soil mites in them. I've gotten soil ingredients with fungus gnats, mold/fungi, tiny bark beetles.
My remedy is to soak it in hydrogen peroxide 1:1 with water, or physan 20, then dry it in the oven and that just about takes care of everything, bugs die, spores, molds, viruses, etc, and my soil is totally sanitized. I know some dont like to make soil sterile but my plants are doing better than when the soil is infested with bugs or mold, and generally, I'm having fewer plant issues overall.
Laughed a lot at this one, Sound advice and excellent narration.
@@brandon8900 That's exactly what a bot would accuse someone of.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve been having bad fungus gnat infestation for three weeks and just ordered the nematodes! Unfortunately I purchased a bag of soil with those holes for repotting, so I’ll definitely have to get a different bag! Thanks a lot for the info😊
My pleasure 😊
All hardware stores, department stores, and grocery stores sale plants with these knats already in the soil. Perhaps an electronic bug zapper and some yellow sticky traps. I've never had a problem with them destroying my plants or stunting their growth. I keep my plants in separate rooms, and the knats don't seem to venture out of them. If I have plants in the kitchen or living room, I keep them directly in water. As long as the critters don't venture out of their respective habitat, I am grateful for their ability to pollinate and aerate the soil. As long as I keep a bug zapper and some yellow sticky traps, they don't seem to bother me as they die in a balanced fashion.
I've used cinnamon with some pretty good success!
I used that trick to extend the life of supermarket herbs, by splitting the plants into much bigger pots. I used the exact potting mix in this video. I hadn't noticed the holes.
They all died.
Now I know why.
The post mortem revealed that all the plants has mysteriously lost all their roots. I didn't understand at the time. Now I get it.
I won't be buying that again.
Grim!
THATS WHY I HAVE FUNGUS GNATS!!!
I'm a big fan 🙂
I got mosquito bits from amaz*n last summer. It worked brilliantly. Only now a year later I've seen a couple flying around. And I still have a lot of the small bag. I live in Uk.
Holy crap, this explains why a bunch of nasty little gnats showed up in my apt after I bought potting soil and repotted a plant a friend gave me.
I had a real problem with Fungus Gnats, then found an amazing solution. I used 2 x Tablespoon of Neem Oil, 1/2 tablespoon of detergent, in 10 litres of water. I socked each plant with it and within 2 weeks, they were all gone.
However, I have just watched you video and I have that SOIL!! I will have to get some new stuff.
😬
Gosh... thank's so much for this game changing info! 😱 I had no idea what I was doing to my poor plant babies 😭
Happy to help!
I love your videos! You’re very entertaining and will continue to look forward to your future work!
Thank you 😊
Love your videos! Very informative. I also had a gnat/fruit fly issue and I actually bought a nepenthes pitcher plant and within one week all the gnats were floating in the pitchers of the plant
Thanks!
I don't mind gnats - I let my plants be apartments for spiders, they get to build their web and eat for free, I get no flies or gnats or other pests.
That's incredibly helpful. ty!!
My pleasure 😊
My favourite soil is Sunshine Mix.
Love your videos, I learn so much and you also make me laugh!! You have beautiful plants!!
Thanks!
thanks for the info
You bet!
I saw gnats going through my window screens and inside the house right into my plants pots. I agree that nematodes and BTI are the most effective ways to eliminate them especially since they are coming from the outside. Havent tried it yet though, its a bit expensive and hard to find where I live. I also tried carnivore plants like butterworts but it died soon after i brought it home. Probably not very effective but it was pretty cool.
Carnivorous plants can’t keep up round here
I’m in the States, the BTI drops are great! I add it to my watering can every time I water my plants. I found mine at the pet store in the area for koi ponds. I thought I was going to have to order some Mosquito bits or BTI drops online! So far so good. This is my first year using it. I also use the diatomaceous earth and neem oil spray.
Ooooo. Useful to know that you can buy drops of BTI from pet stores. I didn’t even think to check there. Makes complete sense. I hate mixing up the Mosquito Bits.
@@ClaireSiconolfithe product is used in ponds and animal farms too.
Thanks for the information!
Any time!
All great info! Thank you!
Put a screen on your windows
Great info 👍
I only have 9 plants… and a ficus tree that for a couple years has been very happy indoors (I’m in an upper apartment so…)
Should I just completely repot everything and ditch as much of the old soil as possible?
Or will the eggs and larvae be prevalent enough in the roots, and residual soil there, to make that effort meaningless?
I started before video ended… the worms sound good. Maybe try both?
Could you pasteurise the potting mix in the oven using an aluminium oven tray.
Yes you can. It will smell and can be time consuming
You are making me itchy this morning Rich. Very interesting though, the presentation is spot on. Love and Peace. I will look to see if Canada sells these mosquito bits when the time comes Thanks.
Oops my bad 😅
I joined the world of caring for verracosums today, I’ll let you know how it goes.
First bag of soil, I ever bought had little holes in it like that and one of my plants was infected with gnats.
A year later, I decided to repot with totally different soil and magically all the gnats went away
And then the next time I went to repot I did the same stupid thing again and bought a bag of soil with little holes in it… And guess what?
One of us Americans can send you some.
Would the BTI kill everything? So if I chose to use it.. it would be at the expense of the nematodes?
how about dumping the soil in front of the sun for a few days before use?
But all commercial potted soils contain compost. Compost is great for plants. Never seen bags with tiny holes though. Is maybe "compost" something different in the UK. I don't get this video.
Thought I would add that I have never had fungus gnats either.
great info! Thank you!
You bet!
This happened to me, still fighting them, and mushrooms started popping up.
Mushrooms shouldn’t be so bad 😁
i've been dealing with thrips for a couple weeks and it's terrible. similar situation, the perfect product isn't available here. turns out the active ingredient can be found in other products. gotta get creative ;)
What if I bought a bag of straight up perlite with holes in it 😅
BTI is very safe according to the research I've looked up, not sure why they don't allow you guys to
i had a fungas knat problem last year bvutr my carnivours plants basiclyt cought most of them and they eventaully dissapered entirely
I'm so lucky bcz where i live its very dry so i don't get any gnats very often...
Do you struggle with spider mites?
I had no idea about those little holes grrr. Thanks. I have a load of those yellow sticky things around - and also got a very small ultraviolet bug zapper thing. I think I'm getting there. I need to get some more compost soon - now I know. Do beneficial nemotodes represent a risk to springtails and isopods? If not they seem like a good addition to my terrariums
I don’t think they go after them. Check though
Nice😊
Great video!
Thanks!
I have fungus gnats in every plant because of bagged soil 😩
Maybe diatomaceous earth could help? I used sometimes and really help, a video of them would be funny
I tried and couldn’t work out if it did
@@SheffieldMadePlants If it grabs moisture it doesn't work, it should be dry for a couple of days on the surface of the pot. that's how it worked for me
I thought I heard somewhere the soil needed to stay moist or the nematodes would croak, have you found that to be the case?
My issue seemed to be resolved by the time the soiled dried up anyways when I introduced my nematodes to the party, they are effective!
Yeah while they are at work the soil needs to stay moist
Can smeone plz recommend me sme good potting soils other than the one he is selling..the delivery charging 4 that one is mre than the product itself..wht abt miraclegro? Does it hs fungus gnats too?
Hi Richard, I recently bought three bags of this compost on Amazon, and all three have the holes 😮. Silly question, but if the bags haven't got holes in them, will the compost be bug free.
Not a guarantee but a much better chance
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you for replying Richard 😀
Very interesting
no bugs! Yikes
Nematodes didn't work for me sadly
Beneficial nematodes completely eradicated my gnats.
BTI -- can a friend from the USA ship BTI to you?
Not sure. Probably custom hoops to jump through
Get sundews.

Don't be too upset over not being able to get Mosquito Bits!! I tried it and now half my plants are dieing!! Mr Sheffield, what do I do? My beloved Elgergrass is slowing dieing! It's gotten so sickly looking and it's just about lost all the purple color from the back of the leaves! The leaves are all curling around the long edges! Is there anything I can do to save this at this point or do I say my good byes and look for another? I am heart broken over this one!!
Not sure. Maybe repotting it might help
