Stupid Aphids........
My VFT is under attack from aphids. Not badly. Just that lately, I have been looking for reasons why my VFT has been growing smaller traps and deformed ones. Today I found out that there was some aphids!!!
I will post pictures later. Right now, I am considering a few options. One, leave it be. Two, send my flytrap into dormancy. Three, uproot the whole plant and soak it in water. i do not have any insecticide. Help! Cheers

Here are the pictures......
The whole plant. As you can see, the traps are weeny! A bad trap, sorry, it is blear. Worst trap Everytime my flytrap produces new traps, the traps are only 2 mm wide, then the teeth starts forming. Over time, the traps straighten it self from being deformed. It is really annoying! Cheers

Ladybugs are an option if you can get some.

Re: Stupid Aphids........
Not if you get enough to close all the traps. The survivors can eat the aphids.

Re: Stupid Aphids........
Hey edward, can't see any aphids in the photos though.
Oh you mentioned you wanted to drown the aphids in water. Hey you know VFTs can take being submerged for a long time in water, if you like just put the whole pot in water so that the whole plant is underwater, I think that leaving it in for 24hours won't be harmful. Lastly, I have a VFT that has this similar growth of the traps, I don't really find it that big a deal myself, unless you know that your VFT should be producing giant traps. Good luck with your aphid problem. TTFN Arvin
