Fight fungus gnats – be careful with baking soda. Baking soda makes the soil more acidic - not all houseplants like that.

With the help of yellow plates, fungus Gnats can be quickly identified and somewhat reduced. The larvae of the fungus gnat also eat wilted parts of plants, but they also eat healthy roots. They are therefore not just nuisances, but pests that make plants susceptible to disease and fungal attack. According to the Federal Environment Agency, mold usually develops as a result, which is unhealthy for humans.
