pest

Ok, looks like another phase in the never ending pest wars for me. It never ends - as soon as I think I've got the upper hand, I find a new bug. I just finished an epic battle with mites that lasted several months. Thought I'd enjoy a break, but nope. Today I see tons of these little things...

Its related to the nepenthes thread, but i don''t really know what it is because i have less. I pulled some off, but its gone too. Since age is in a matter for products, I cannot buy anything, so is it a pest, or something i can take off, since its not overbearing in numbers.

I have a nepenthes alata 'Boschiana Mimic' that is suffering from some pest. I have sprayed it twice with ortho systemic insecticide, covering the leaves and the undersides of the leaves. The pest are still her and look like they are spreading. It is a very nice plant and it's a pretty good...

I haven't had too many pests this year with my plants usually just baby spiders making webs over my picter plant opening one time catching any flys that try to go in, but it seems recently there's these tiny bugs not sure what they are they seem to only go on my dente flytrap haven't notice any...

Here is a quick shot from this morning of a section of a south-facing windowsill and part of my pest management plan. On the left is an adult Nepenthes ventricosa "Black Peristome" (which flowered earlier and was pruned back) and Nepenthes ventricosa x bongso. To think that these plants were...

I had an interesting discovery today. My N. spectabilis x ventricosa from the NASC auction is blooming (thanks Av!). This will be my first flower. As you can see, the plant itself is huge. I was getting ready to chop it up (space issues) when I discovered I had a pest issue. I don't...

Hi, I recently noticed some abnormal and deformed growth on my S.Alata and N.Sabre. I'm not sure if its a pest problem, but if it is then I would like to know what kind of pest it is and how to control it. Thanks. As you can see, this newest leaf is much smaller and more decrepid than the...

My N. Sanguinea has an unopened leaf, and the seam or edge thing is all messed up. Is it some kind of pest? A disease? Or is it just a mutation or whatever?

Dont really have any preference. but id like flava or leucophylla, anything else is fine though...i dont know what i have to trade, its not much, but i need to get some stuff growing for natural pest control, my mother and myself are allergic to the pesticide they spray around here, and it makes...

I have had this Judith Hindle for over a month now. It sits outside where it gets just about allday sun. When I first bought it there was only one pitcher on it and now there is a total of 5 pitchers on it. The oldest pitcher is starting to look rough. Is it just naturaly dieing off or is...

My prized D. graomogolensis perished a month or so ago. Some kind of tiny white worm-ish critter attacked the clump from the inside out. They appeared about a couple millimeters in length and possibly 0.010" in diameter... and once exposed they were very fast moving indeed, highly mobile. (I...

Instead of describing my pest problem I will post pics. I have isolated the 2 trays of infected plants and I have treated with commercial Orthene and it seems to be doing the trick, but what are these? I have never had to deal with these before. Should I do anything else (other than the...

I got a Sarracenia flava var. cuprea at a LACPS meeting. After few months the pichers started to get smaller so i , thought that the cool weather did this, then just a couple weeks ago the pitchers started to deform. I never saw any pest on it. I will put pics asap

One of the sundew's that I bought from Lowes is starting to grow deformed looking leaves. I took some pictures of it but I dont have the best camera so you might not be able to see the deformed parts that great. I checked the plant with a magnifying glass to see if I could tell if there were any...

today i went outside to take a look at my sundew, and i found Aphid, Spider Mite, and possibly scale. i only saw like 3-4 of those insects, so i took precaution and DROWN the whole pot. it wasnt the only bug that was in there... :-( a bunch(i mean in the hundreds) of super small white stuff...

Ant trouble--Pictures! I have an ant problem: I need to get rid of these pests! I know, there are gonna be some people out there who say that "there cool, don't kill them," and I agree, I've had lots of fun whatcing them, especally there realationship with the predators in my artificial...

Hi everybody, I just need to post a quick question on whether the Brown dirty looking things in the photograph below are some kind of a pest. I can't quite tell from looking at it and inspecting the plant close-up. I can say that I keep these in an aquarium, and I try water so I don't think it...

my oreophila's pitcher is getting eaten to death. i think its a leaf hopper. there's one that's light green and they make burn holes. and there's another kind, kinda dark brown with black stripe that moves super fast. when they eat, they wriggle their body left to right its like a dog tilting...

reading through the other posts, I'm not sure exactly what it is... I had been growing the plant in the campus greenhouse for a few months and while it looks great, it's developed a few webs on it since I've brought it home (they come back when removed). They run from the plant to the edge of...

Hey, For the past week one of my normal VFT's has been slowly declining all new traps have slowly turn black and never open I thought it was sun damage so I put it in a little more shade but that did not help. Then all the older traps are closing with no bug in them, so yesterday I repoted it...
