Hey all, I picked up a bunch of drosera filiformis at the Chattahochee Nature Center carnivorous plants sale last summer, and they've been through dormancy without any problems.
However, they've been waking up the last few weeks and putting out traps, and today for the first time I noticed those disgusting little green bugs crawling all over one of them. Some of the aphids look like they got stuck in the goop, while others are kind of just there.
I used my fingers and smushed all that I could see, and blasted the plant with some neem oil for good measure.
Is there anything else I should be doing to control the aphids? Or just keep doing what I'm doing?
