Nature’s sticky traps

These are just so cool. A Redditor suggested these Cape Sundews as a way to handle up on fungus gnats around my pepper seedlings and an easy way to feed the plant at the same time. Unfortunately sundews are easily colonized and destroyed by aphids though it will snag the flying ones.

The sundews have no problem catching crane flies as well on their own, but they’re too big for the Venus flytrap to catch unassisted. Both sundews are getting ready to flower which is really interesting. That means seeds and more sundews!
