For your sick VFT If all else fails and nothing you do seems to work,
you may want to try this
trick. Take your VFT out of its environment, wash all the soil off, let
it soak in a little insecticide, then fungicide, then put it in the
refrigerator for a couple of months. While your plant is taking a Med
Season Snooze, you can clean, sterilize and rebuild your growing
chamber. After setting back up, try growing your plant again. I have
used this method on several Very Sick Plants with 50% success rate.
That's better then the alternative.

I have one VFT that is in a tank, and about 1/2 direct sun during the day. I
have been finding leaves that are bending and traps that are becoming
deformed. Could this problem be caused by some very small mite? If so how to
I get rid of them? This was at one time a very nice plant, I would love to
see it go back into shape. Thanks for any help.

Happy Bug Hunting,
