Hi all, I think one of my sarrs and pings have aphids. There were small white bugs on both, not big enough to be mealy bugs but they were moving around on the leaves. I’ve sprayed both with neem oil and have been using isopropyl alcohol on any bugs I see checking at least once a day.
The main issue with my sarracenia is that it doesn’t seem to be growing at all and a lot of the immature growth seems to be browning. Could this be from aphids? Even though I saw them initially, I have been treating for three days and have yet to see another moving bug (I wipe off anything I think could be an aphid even if it’s not completely clear to me). I was previously told that my light probably isn’t strong enough since it’s under a grow light, but I am planning to get it a second light until I move and can get it into direct sunlight.
The plant is in sphagnum and sits in distilled water constantly, I got it maybe a month or so ago.
