My sundews (D. peltata) have an aphid infestation :x
I put them near the roses and within a few days there were aphids on them!
How do I get rid of them? Is it ok to spray a mix of oil and washing detergent on them or will it kill the sundews?
I don't really want to repot them as I only potted them a few days ago but is it necessary?
Thanks!

I've been having the same problem with my Venus Flytraps. I believe a neem oil based pesticide should do the trick. I think oil and washing detergent will hurt your plants.
