About a month ago I bought a couple plants from:
http://www.carnivorousplantnursery.com
I noticed pests the day after I got them and have ever since then been fighting multiple pests on the plants. Discovering more as time goes on. I have never had any pests in my collection at any point, so I did not recognize the problem at first sight.
On the two plants I bought there, both north american pitcher plants. The pests include:
Spider mites
Scale
A whole bunch of small snails
What should I do to treat them? Are the plants saveable? Also, Is it appropriate for me to contact the seller and ask for a refund or exchange? I notified him of the scale, because thats what I noticed first. He just replied, "Thanks for the heads up."
Any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
