ARE PLANT FLIES HARMFUL TO MY HEALTH OR MY PLANTS?
Luckily plant flies – or fungus gnats – aren’t harmful to your health. However, they can cause serious damage to your plants. Where the adult flies eat mostly dead plant remains, the larvae are affecting the roots of your plants, making it harder for them to absorb nutrients and water.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO CONTROL THE PLANT FLY PROBLEM?
Aside from the fact that fruit flies (fungus gnats) are perceived as being quite annoying, they can also cause serious damage to your plants. As the plant flies lay over 200 eggs per time, they multiple very quickly. It’s important to control the plant flies, before these tiny flies turn into a huge plague.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CATCH PLANT FLIES OR TO PREVENT THEM?
Plant flies love moisty potting soil. Therefor make sure that you don’t give your plants too much water and place them in a drainage pot. This way the soil gets the chance to dry up after watering, which prevents the flies from settling down. It is also important to remove dead plant remains in time. Are you buying a new plant? Before taking it home, check to see if there are any larvae hidden in the soil. Use for the plant flies, already hovering around your plants, our sustainable sticker traps.
