Why does your Freesia refracta Klatt have tiny black flies? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
The most common cause of tiny black flies around indoor plants. The larvae live in the organic matter of the soil and feed on decomposing plant roots, while adults are attracted to the moist topsoil surface of the Freesia.
While the flies themselves are seen above ground, their presence often signals a high population of larvae in the soil. In Freesia, this can lead to secondary symptoms like wilting as the roots are disturbed.
If the Freesia is kept near decaying organic matter or overripe fruit, these flies may congregate around the plant. While they don't feed on the plant itself, their presence indicates high humidity and fermentation in the immediate environment.
