FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey ya'll.
So I had an accidental fruit fly infestation in my room from some fruit fly cultures I keep for my dart frogs, I got so annoyed of them constantly landing on my food. So I grabed all the established adelae giants I could find and placed them in my room and this was the outcome. Organic fruit fly pest control at its finest. There are barely any flies left! Unfortunately I just transplanted my largest adelae about a week ago into a 5" hydroponic pot and it has no dew, but I'm confident that if it was well established, it would devour the remaining fruit flies
What happens when Drosera catches this much food in one sitting? I'm guessing they will just flower and/or grow even more profusely than they already do

I've had similar incident. Fungus gnat infected soil. Droseras destroyed all of them in less than 14 weeks and if I say there were many, it's an understatement. Some leaves were black and completely covered! Especially effective were D. binata and D. capensis. D. spatulata a bit less, but they were not starving either.

Interesting! Do you have pics?
What happened to your drosera leaves? Did they die back at all? Did the plants grow quicker? I haven't had a fungus gnat infestation yet but a few locals I've sold these adelae to have raved about how the plant has diminished their infestations. I wasn't able to keep the plants in my room longer since its so dark in there and they started losing their dew
