Hi all, novice VFT owner here
So I bought 2 from my local garden centre a few months ago and they seem to be doing pretty well. However I now think I have an aphid infestation. One is growing pretty deformed now, I couldn’t see many live aphids but there are quite a few dead ones as you can see (the white things) so I’m not sure if that means the plant itself is dead or if there’s anything that can be done to salvage it?! The other one looks a lot better (I’ve included photos at the end for reference) had quite a few which I’ve removed with tweezers, but I’m hoping to find a solution to get rid of them properly before the same thing happens to it!
