Default Venus Fly Trap being eaten

That could be it. I have been keeping the plant very wet in
an attempt to drown the pest that is eating it, maybe its
time to let the soil dry out a little and see what happens.
Thanks for the tip.


never water from the top. place a potted fly trap in a dish
with stones & water to the surface of the stones. they need
humidity but hate being soaked... kinda like African violets.

how does one deal with aphids on a pitcher plant? the
ladybugs end up getting eaten...
