thanks so much I just ordered one, I read a tip in one of the reviews to use these dual-sided sticky traps when the glue boards run out, you can cut 2 out per sheet using the old glue board as a template, with 20 sheets and double-sided it's 40 replacement boards for $10
If it is bad soil, it's actually a really easy fix. In addition to having plenty of drainage holes in your pot, I also recommend bright indirect light.

The only thing I did was repot in Black Gold Cactus and perlite (1:1 ratio) and reduced the water to maybe once a week since it's summer. Lowes was watering it every day in a sphagnum moss blend growing medium so it was damaging the roots. Most of the time this is why the leaves are yellow, fail to unfold or fenistrated leaves are slow to appear. I just cut one old stalk down at the base and waited for another to appear. Repeat until all old, yellow and unfenistrated leaves are gone.
Since the first recovery video was shot, I have six new leaves (twelve fenestrated and healthy) and a new shoot coming through the soil. I have also upgraded to a 5 gallon equivalent air pot, integrated bark, charcoal and pumice back in with the gritty cactus mix. I also plan to start staking it to a moss pole this weekend.
When you repot, I highly recommend adding [Bionide Systemic] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BX1HKI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_nRXNDbZQ1TFN3) and setting up [yellow sticky traps] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRYDWYK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_lSXNDbRR2M9AB) to reduce the breeding adult population while the systemic kicks in.
Yellow Sticky Traps
Currently in the midst of dealing with a gnat problem. Here's what's worked for me so far:
There are lots of other redditors on this subreddit, /r/IndoorGarden , and /r/plantclinic who have faced the same issues, so have a look at their posts too to see what works for them (I see hydrogen peroxide is a common solution). Best of luck!
When I had tiny flying bug issues with my worm bin (indoors) I got some basic sticky tape like this from amazon and left it nearby overnight. By the morning it was pretty covered. Switched the peel off covering from one side to the other, used the opposite side the next day. Result: significantly less bugs. If this is going outside it's super important to not just set it on top a surface to save birds or bees from getting stuck.
Found this one to be the cheapest/best value:
