Larve in house plant water vases?

Question

I have plants in my home that I keep in water. They're gorgeous and I can't change them to dirt without worrying that they'll die. My problem is that I noticed that now I have larve in their water. How can I kill the larve in the water without killing my plants? What can I use? I don't want my house filled with mosquitos and flies.

Answer 1

What about adding some normal salt to the water? This will prevent the mosquito larvae to breed in the vase.. i did this way to my aquarium tank and that salt did not harm my fish yet killed the larvae..

Answer 2

First thing I would do would be to dump the water and start with fresh.  Plants grown in water still require some care.  The water should be changed regularly

Answer 3

No Salt it will kill your plants.

Rinse the plants in room temp water not cold, until you are sure there are no more larvae on the plants.

Mix one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide 3% the kind that we keep in the bathroom cabinet, with one gallon of water stir and pour into containers that hold your plants. Make a new batch every time to ensure freshness.

Change the water at least once a month, I use this method.

It will keep your plants healthy and pest free.
