    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...

    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.

After they have been debugged.I take them out doors away from the house & repot them.Wash the pots in hot bleach water

  • @its_notta_cedar
    @its_notta_cedar Год назад +2

    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.

    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
      @BobCampbell530 Год назад +1

      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

    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.

    @EzekielsCall Год назад +1

    Thank you for making this video! I now know that even if my plants did get some root issues, they might still be able to be saved.
    *I'm pretty sure one of the things that helps with drainage is to mound plants higher than the soil goes , but it looks like you can still
    do that even when planting it somewhat lower than it was. I can see where the tendency may have been to put way more water than it
    needed, and the soil holding that water at the bottom could cause a reaction where bacteria could grow.
    When you soak the plant and the soil with the hydrogen peroxide at the end, are you using the 4-1 or the 3-1 ratio? I assume you aren't pouring it
    in full strength. Also, how many bottles (and how many oz each) of hydrogen peroxide did you end up going through to soak the roots and then water it?

  • @dhendrix1292
    @dhendrix1292 Год назад +1

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