It got too cold in my Chicago-area garage for these guys, so I had to bring them in early. I planned on waking them up Valentine’s Day week, just to get an early start on the growing season. But here we are....
I have aphids on my sundew. They started on my Venus fly trap and migrated. I think by some miracle I got rid of them on the Venus fly trap by using alcohol and a qtip. However the sundew seems infested....
I guess this trap caught a bug that was a little too big again.
It's the second time that an ulcer has formed on one of this plant's traps after it caught a bug that was a little on the big side. I saw a TikTok video explaining that sometimes the trap will survive and it will just have a hole in the side, but I'm not holding out any hope for that. The last one just died. Fortunately,the rest of the plant seems healthy.
The whole shelve is next to a south window so I don’t have to add supplemental light, which is great. Space might be more of an issue now that most neps start vining!
