    For fungus gnats, I did the same you with yellow sticky traps and mosquito dunks to try and eliminate the cycle. It worked a little bit, but I wasn't fully satisfied so I also ordered Nematodes on Amazon. Nematodes definitely sped up the process of eliminating the gnats. I still see the odd one here or there but far less than before. But since I still have some gnats, as soon as the weather permits I will order predatory mites too (can't order predatory mites or nematodes if the weather is freezing, they might die).

      I’ve never tried nematodes before, but have heard of it. Is it safe to use for indoor plants? And, usually how long does it take to eliminate the gnats? If there’s a faster way to kill these pests, I’m opened minded to try something new, as long as it’s safe for indoor use:) Thanks for sharing!❤️

    Not to worry, it's normal for the citrus fruits to fall off because the tree can't possibly support all of them.

      That makes a lot of sense…but it’s still heartbreaking to see them drop:(

    I heard some people sprinkle cinnamon on the soil to limit fungus knats.

      Ya, I’ve tried this in the past. Could not tell whether it was working or not though, so I stopped.

    Draceana margenata is the name of the plant.

    My mom used to put her plants in the shower to spray off the dust. Was great until you wanted to take a shower 😂

      If you put boiling water on your soil before using it that helps with those gnats

      I’ve also tried this method too.😊 Much easier with smaller plants. Great way to give plants a “bath” in the shower. They look fantastic after.😅

    I used google lens and your water drop succulent is called glowing Haworthia.
