    i have three jade plants. all from original plant. I now have tiny flies that seem to hover around some of these plants. I left them outdors and waited for no evidence of flies. I just brought them back in, and one of the plants seems to have tiny flies.
    what to do???

    fungus gnats live in/lay eggs in the soil. if you are keeping the soil too moist, they'll continue to be a problem.

    allow the soil to dry out some and maybe even remove the top layer (to get any eggs waiting to hatch) and replace with fresh soil.
