Default Greenfly on Venus flytrap

"Black Shadow" wrote in message ...
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a way of getting rid of greenfly from a venus flytrap,
I know they won't tolerate any form of pesticide, and I have tried small
jets of water to dislodge them but to no avail, they are back with a
vengeance, and plant is now starting to look a bit sickly.

Thanks,
Steve


I've used pesticide spray on a venus flytrap without ill effect. It
had an aphid infestation a couple of years ago. Aphids all gone, VFT
fine.
But saying that, the immersion method is preferable, just wasn't
practical for me at the time.
