What's eating my pink sundew?

Pink Sundew (Drosera capillaris) is a small North American carnivorous houseplant whose glistening traps handle most small flying insects naturally. The chief cultivated threat is fungus gnat larvae in waterlogged media, followed by aphids on tender new rosettes. Keep the tray method going with pure water and pests are rarely a serious problem.

Root-feeding larvae stunt or collapse small plants in wet media; adults visible hovering near soil Pure distilled or rain water in tray; yellow sticky traps; let surface medium aerate slightly between waterings

Colonies on young leaves cause distortion and tip dieback Rinse with distilled water; isolate plant; dilute insecticidal soap spray if infestation persists
