To help with gnats, the easiest thing to do is to buy new soil, take the plant out, wash the roots, and the pot, and to put the new soil in the pot and away from the old soil, but before that you should get gnat traps in your room so when you repot it no gnats will try to get in the soil, but also putting a layer of cinnamon on top of the new soil will get the gnats away from the plant

If you have any other plants, do the same with them, and as for the growing issue, it doesn’t look like it needs a bigger pot, the gnats could be the issue of why it’s not growing, but it could also be too much sun for the little guy

I mix a gallon of water with a couple of cap fulls of been oils and a tablespoon of Bonners multipurpose soap and pour in a spay bottle.

@toofoxy37 bean 0oils what’s that bonneters?

@amandaramirez465 whatever works for you! Just make sure the soil is away from the soil with gnats in it so they don’t try moving to the soil you just bought

Personally, I’d get rid of that little plant & start over with a healthy plant. ❀️

@bloren3433 that’s the thing it was a mother of thousands my last plant got destroyed. Y little kids and a mother and my mother of thousand had a little seedling left so I replanted and it grew this big 😭

Is it inside? If so get indoor potting soil and get rid of as much dirt as possible. Gnats don’t like no dirt soil. It the only way I beat the gnats.

You need to make sure that you are using suitable water for watering the plant. It is also better to add more fertilizers

The pot is a way too big for this plant. A pot should be an inch wider than a plant’s root system. Gnats love overwatered soil. And because of roots are too small, they can’t drink all the water from such a big pot. It leads to a root rotting too. Also You can try to mix soil with some components such as perlite, coconut chips(made from coconut bark), foamglass, coarse sand to make it loose

Cinnamon stick on the top of the soil
