White Worms in Cephalotus Soil: Fungus Gnat Larvae

Little white worms seen in Cephalotus soil. Plant is growing new leaf and pitcher, watered when dry, okay drainage. Also asks if nursery has N. rajah, villosa, hamata for sale (visiting July 10).

Identification: Harmless Fungus Gnat Larvae

Jeff Dallas says these are common in houseplant soil. Small numbers are no concern. If adults are swarming, spray soil or repot in fresh media. Drosera and Pinguicula eat the adults.
