Ironic aphids
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 7:23 pm
My Cape sundews, to whom I have been feeding dead ladybugs, have aphids.
I know there are all kinds of oils that one can spray on plants to kill pests, but are there any solutions that only kill aphids? Maybe a nematode of some sort? I like the moss around them and would rather not kill every living crawly thing in the pots. And I considered finding some live ladybugs, but we have them in our house already (to hibernate) and the ones that don't eventually run out of energy and starve end up in my Neps.
