One of my buddies bought carnivorous plants that are called Butterworth to rid his grow of fungus gnats, and anything that touches it they are even yellow to attract the gnats. Or get those yellow sticky cards or strips I like to use Neem oil with soap to mist and Neem meal tea to drench at every other watering as a preventative measure but I only water maybe once a week sometime longer depending on how long it takes for them to dry out. Each plant varies as well I had one I watered 2 days ago along with the rest of them and she needed more water today and the others didn't yet. Letting them dry out goes against what is the norm for house plants kept outside but it is just as important as nutes and light.

I prefer Neem as a prevention type of thing. Like changing the oil in your car at regular intervals to keep the engine running right.
Most bugs don't like Neem so they stay away and it will dissolve most bugs exoskeleton unless they build a resistance to it.
What is the ingredients in the Safer brand I couldn't make it out on my phone.

I did a bit of realding on potassium oleate and it is actually pretty safe and can dissolve the exoskeleton as well as trigger the bugs to attack each other since a decaying bug emits potassium oleate and that triggers the colony to want to remove the dead body so any of them that gets sprayed is dead to them.

The wet towel method never worked for me, but its a cheap way to raise the humidity a few points. You can get a decent cool mist humidifier from a convenience store for around $30. You will have to refill the tank everyday, but it will help to raise the humidity, without raising the temps.

So i typically have sligly damp soil to start with. Bury your seed, and then get the soil plenty moist. Dont water again for a little while. No roots to suck it up, so it'll be wet for a few days for sure.
Id stay away from mg soil, for seedlings especially.
Start in solo cups with holes. This is so u can see the roots poking out a bit. Having a nice root ball befor up potting really helps keep things growing at a consistant speed.
