Arrrggghhhh! Dang fungus gnats got my Turts 😢😢. I had brought him inside and put him in a dome to catch some humidity, hoping he would flourish and plump up. I misted him every couple of days but he started looking smaller. Found the buggers today.
2ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 5 days ago

@calvina I really wasn't watering it, just misting. But I realized that pot was way too big for its tiny roots (I ended up repotting it).
I dumped the soil and cleaned whatever was left on the roots with peroxide and stuck it in fresh clean dirt. Hopefully it makes it.
It was a case of 'oh I saw this on YouTube, let me try it!' Ughhhhh. I should have just stuck to what was working for me.

@fabiana I've actually been watering my plants with mosquito dunks 'tea'. But since I was really only misting Turts, he wasn't getting the tea.. so they really hit him hard. There were so many moving around in the soil I almost flung the entire pot across the room 😬
Gave me the heebie jeebies.. I'm still itchy.
