Bugs eating my CP?
Well, one of my Dionaea (my giant cultivar) has aphids. I first noticed that something was wrong as it was coming out of dormancy. The traps were coming out all misshapen. Then I noticed the telltale white exoskeleton husks around the crown of the plant and saw the little critters on the leaves.
Strangely ironic that an insectivorous plant is itself being eaten by insects…
I read in The Savage Garden that Orthene is a good insecticide for use on CP’s. It also recommended that I use a wettable powder if possible. I was not able to find this, so I am going to go with the liquid. Hopefully I should have some results shortly.
