I think I discovered the problem to why my sundew isn't doing good. After I moved it inside, over a few days, I saw about 2 fungus gnats on the plant, and about 4 on the wall. What is an effective pesticide to use that won't harm my plant?

Fungus gnats don't really do much to my plants. When I get them, It seems my sundews catch them the most out of all my plants. So I guess I would just give the plant a sunny location to produce more dew and it should enjoy the bugs.

I would bet that fungus gnats are not your problem

Haha but they're too small to get with a bug zapper lol. I just smash them. I respect insects as living creatures, but when it comes to my plants, they're getting a whooping!! :twisted:
