Fungus Gnats?

[Tropicgirl]

The only place I have been able to find Physan 20 is the hydroponics shop. I've tried HD, Lowes and multiple garden centers.

Wynter,

Are you having trouble with something other than the Fungas Gnats?
Physan 20 isn't meant for killing insects if that's why your looking to buy it. It's for controlling Algae, Fungus & Virus. It is also used to disinfect and sanitize & deodorize.
You can sometimes find it cheaper than buying it in a store or online on eBay.

Thank you to everyone for responding! I will be buying new, smaller pots and new bark mix this weekend, as well as ordering the physan 20. I put the Phal's in bigger pots because one of them has a leaf that is 12 inches long and it didn't seem right to keep them in such a small pot that may tip over, and the leaf were laying on the counter-top. The new Catt. that I got is in a 5" pot, which was only 1" larger than the pot that it came in when I got it (it was a large bag baby). I'm going to make an attempt to post pictures of them in their pots.
SweetJBlue: I am having problems with fungus gnats, but no one has yet been able to determine what that round/oval bodied clear microscopic crawling insects are.

Opinions needed on the bark mix, I read that I shouldn't buy it pre-dampened. What are your opinions and do you suggest a specific mix. I would have to purchase it from Lowes or Home Depot due to where I'm located at. Also, do you have a preferred type of pot to grow them in? I wasn't big on the look of the clay pots, so that is why I got the decorative ones.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind while I'm shopping this weekend.
