Controlling Fungus Gnat Larvae in Sarracenia with Neem Oil Soil Drench

Treatment

  1. Apply Neem oil (per label) as a soil surface spray/drench.
  2. Repeat in 7-10 days; multiple applications may be needed.
  3. Place Drosera or Pinguicula nearby to trap adults.

Prevention

  • Avoid keeping pots overly wet; let surface dry slightly between waterings.
  • Use well-draining soil; top-dress with sand to deter egg-laying.

When to Worry

Small numbers are harmless. Large infestations damage roots and stunt growth.
