As a self-proclaimed plant parent with a home that increasingly looks like a jungle, I've certainly made my fair few mistakes when learning how to garden indoors and care for houseplants. And we've all been there - watering a little too much and not understanding the right growing conditions for specific plants, among other errors. But that's the joy of being a plant lover; you learn along the way.
Of course, common indoor plant mistakes often lead to attracting common houseplant pests. If you start to notice lots of little black flies around your plants, it's likely you're having the same problem I once had - a fungus gnat infestation. The worst part? These little bugs multiply fast and will soon take up residence in every indoor plant you have if you don't stop them in their tracks.
