Fungus Gnat Eggs in Soil: Overwatering Indicator

Yellow-Green Goo = Fungus Gnat Eggs

Silky patches with tiny round eggs on moist soil surface are fungus gnat egg masses. Cause: chronic overwatering.

Fix

  • Let plants dry longer between waterings.
  • Next repot: add 1 part perlite to 2 parts soil for drainage.
  • Repot only April 1–June 30.

Dry soil breaks the gnat lifecycle.
