You dont follow wet/dry cycle, thats some larvas Easiest way - nematodes. Cheap way - let soil dry out and pot be light to lift before watering next. Follow that, rough top lair of soil, just a bit away from stem, for not harming roots. That way youll get better evaporration , i do ir daily, on watering day - after 6 hours, let it soak , otherwise you wont beeak surface properly. Simply tool - table fork, 1-2 cm deep max, keep away from top roots. But if you water her around , not straight under, you will help yourself a lot with caring about grow medium.

Das schaut nach den Larven von Trauermücken aus. Sie sind schädlich, besonders für junges Wurzelwerk. Auch die Trauermücken selbst schaden der Pflanze, da sie sich vom Zellsaft ernähren. Die Wirksamste Methode sie loszuwerden sind meiner Meinung nach Nemathoden. Diese werden dem Gießwasser hinzugefügt und fressen die Larven. Kosten auch nicht sehr viel Geld.

Hi there They look like maggots to me! I would be concerned it’s root maggots they normally live in the soil if its always wet from tiny flys, They can eat your roots of the plants, personally I don’t like the idea of any insects around my plants, I would get some sort of plant safe insect/pest solution from your local grow shop, tell them your problem I will be able to tell you whats best to use.. Best of luck 🌱
