Stupid Aphids........

[marvin1997]

So sorry about your VFT, it doesn't look good,like someone that has smaller head than his shoulder.Reminds me of Mr Midnight.
And Malowie THAT will be funny if someone is being attacked by aphids.
What about soaking the plant in hot water?Will it burn the plant?

Oh please don't soak in hot water! That will Blanch the plant and almost surely kill it! I'd rather spray insecticide than use hot water. But dipping the whole plant in cold rain water for a few hours should help kill those aphids.

One thing though I am not sure if the problems with the trap size is caused by Aphids, I have a feeling that it might not be related.
