As someone else mentioned, you can indeed drown the pests. Submerge the
whole plant (compost, roots leaves) in rainwater for a day or two. Two
much limey tapwater will do them in.

Wondering if anyone can help - I have a cape sundew (drosera capensis)

unfortunately has become infested with tiny green crawlies, aphids I

Ah, never thought about tap water killing it, thanks for the warning!
