Grit on top for fungus gnats
Grit on top for fungus gnats. What is in front of you is the surface of a pot that stays wet.
Do it in order
Handle it this way: let the surface dry and ease off the water. Wash the tool when you move to the next plant.
The usual miss
People lose cuttings and seedlings to more water for a pot that already grows gnats. Slow down there.
Finished means the surface dries between waterings. If you are guessing, water less than you want to and look again tomorrow.
This sits in "Windowsills", written as a garden note rather than a catalog.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
