My home increasingly looks like an indoor jungle and I love it. Though, I'm the first to admit I've made my fair few houseplant mistakes along the way, including overwatering. This causes a lot of problems for plants, including discoloring foliage and – perhaps the most annoying – the tiny black flies known as fungus gnats.
Common indoor plant mistakes like incorrect watering often attract fungus gnats because it creates a damp and moldy environment for them to thrive in. The worst part? These little bugs multiply quickly and will take up residence in every indoor plant you have if you don't act fast (I find these yellow sticky fly traps from Amazon work every time for catching them.)
