Now they appear to be just in the kitchen drain, which is covered unless in use and tsp of clorox at night then covered again. Half as many on the windowsill today as yesterday. Hurray!
Gaining on them!
God's watching.

Hello! I'm late to this thread but I love a good Pothos! Fall is gnat and fruit fly season around here but their numbers seem to be diminishing. I have the best luck with pouring boiling water down the drains (EVERY drain -- bathroom, bathtub, etc.) once a week. And for systemic fungus gnat treatment, this product works like a charm (I actually pre-treat any new houseplant I bring home): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KE1U2I/

Thank you @waxplant ! So far I'm diligent with disallowing access and spraying after use to mitigate an attraction. I've started spraying, after covering, a solution of Pine-Sol (1 Tbsp/qt) in the sink or on the shower drain and the number of dead ones on the windowsill is down 50%. Getting there!

Slowly getting ahead of the procreation curve...

How is the Pothos going, Barrie?

I had vines growing around my office on hooks but I've cut them into at least 100 new snips. They're in water, making roots.

Hi Tiffany! I think it's taking mine a minute to get over the Home Depot experience... Thumbs up

On 9/24:
7" across
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/31a359
Now:
9 1/2" across
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/c6faf3

It's not really getting taller.
Then:
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/2a09f7
Now:
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/db9aa0

Looking "happier"...
Then:
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/79da4d
Now:
Thumb of 2024-11-10/bhiejr/fcc296

I'm okay with it taking awhile to spread out. I've always got something going on. nodding

My pleasure. : ) I wish I had space for more of the varieties, especially the one you have.
