Fungus gnats are slow flyers that like to hang out around plants. They’re harmless to humans but too many of them can be irritating, defying the very purpose of indoor plants bringing a soothing vibe. 

There are some ways you can try to get rid of fungus gnats, first, creating a gnat trap, which is basically a solution with ingredients you can easily grab from the kitchen — apple cider vinegar, dishwashing soap, and sugar. Second, use a yellow sticky flypaper, a very common way to trap insects. 

If natural remedies don’t work, it’s time to reach for an insecticide meant for indoor use, or if the infestation is severe, call a professional to make them go away once and for all.

It depends on the plant and environment. However, the general rule is to water when the top inch of soil is already dry. Just to give an idea, most indoor plants require watering once or twice a week.

Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth. For smaller plants, rinse leaves in lukewarm water, or mist with a spray bottle and wipe dry.

Absolutely! Indoor plants absorb carbon dioxide, filter some pollutants, release oxygen, and increase humidity, all of which greatly contribute to better air quality.

Of course, indoor plant food can be used as outdoor plants too. Just make sure you use the proper dosage as outdoor plants may have different nutrient needs.

Spring and summer, the typical growing season!

Most indoor plants prefer bright, indirect light. Unlike some outdoor plants’ ability to tolerate full sun, most indoor plants don’t like direct light and exposure to such can scorch their leaves. Placing the plants on or near the windowsills is a great idea since these are one of the best-lit spots in a house.
