Hello folks,
Perhaps in this department I have lazy Drosera. I will tell you
what I use the D. capensis and others for in the greenhouse and that is
as decoys for the aphids. I have found that in the winter the apdids
prefer the Drosera to the Nepenthes. I merely have to go around and
spray oil/soap on them or if they are to much of a pain, I wait for a
frost and throw the little buggers outside. It does sometimes kill the
Drosera but as long as I have others of the same I don't mind. Sounds as
cruel as it is but I would rather they were outside then in on the Nepenthes.
Good Growing
Andrew
