  Don't buy houseplants or potting soil here they may be infested with fungus gnats. We bought three plants in May and sterile potting soil from Home Depot. Used new pots. A week later, my house was full of fungus gnats and so were the plants. The bugs had hatched. We threw everything out, waited three months to make sure residual bugs were gone from my house. Re purchased everything since I did not have my receipt from prior purchase. Now we're about $100 into this project. I added cinnamon, diatomaceous earth, and peroxide to the new soil as advised by plant experts. I put gravel on top of soil. One week later, gnats flying all over my house. I spoke to Home Depot corporate and asked them to notify local vendor that the plants are infested. Never heard a word back. Done with Home Depot. One characteristic of these gnats is that they fly up your nose, seeking carbon dioxide. Think that's fun?
