Wondering if anyone can help - I have a cape sundew (drosera capensis)
plant
growing on my kitchen windowsill. It is doing really well, but
unfortunately has become infested with tiny green crawlies, aphids I think.
I have searched the internet for a solution, and quite a few sites
recommend
using a wettable powder insecticide, but I'm having trouble getting hold of
this. All the insecticides I keep coming across are the spray 'soapy' ones
which the plant won't tolerate apparently. I've tried wiping the bugs off
by hand, but it's an endless task. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

With other pot plants, I've found that blasting aphids off with water
pressure works well (you'll probably need two or even three goes, to
catch stragglers).. Wrap the pot and as much of the surface of the
growing medium as possible, in a plastic bag; held in place with tape or
rubber bands.

If you have a mixer tap, adjust it to a strong flow ( temperature, just
above cold/below tepid) and try to wash all surfaces of all leaves,
washing away from the plant. Bath taps usually have better pressure than
sink taps. An outdoor hosepipe gives better water pressure still but
the water from it might be a bit cold.

Some eggs may remain stuck to leaves and hatch a few days later. As
soon as you spot survivors, repeat the procedure before the new
generation are big/old enough to breed. Remember to check the soil
surface for walking wounded, and remove them with a cottonbud or small
paintbrush.
