I've mentioned the gnat problem in my apartment before. While A&A were housesitting they partially got rid of the problem by covering the nice big plant's soil with plastic so the annoying critters couldn't fly out. I still see a bug here or there, but it's at a tolerable level now.
However the plants are now facing what can only be described as 'unattended apartment problem'...due to still air the leaves are covered with a light (or not so light) layer of what looks like dust or maybe bits of salty hard water. In reality it's dry fungus that'll cover the leaves and kill them. As a precautionary measure I've washed the leaves with baking soda and soap, and then milk which has been scientifically proven to get rid of the dry mold problem. The nasty stuff will be all gone in a few short days, after regular application of the various solutions. My leaves will look bright green and shiny once more.
Victory! Victory over shitty things to happen!
