Question
I just started growing these amazing plants earlier this year.  I have approximately 400-450 plants and seedlings.  I am having a hard time finding a specific systemic insecticide.  Do you have any brands or ingredients that i should be looking for in particular.  Laymans terms are a must with me since i am still learning.  Also how effective would ladybugs and preying mantis be for helping with aphids.  I figured i would ask although i would think that my sarracenia would like them just as much as their flies.

Answer
Hi Nicholas,

Your asking this question is timely.  We just made a podcast about it.  Here's the link:  http://cobraplant.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=5

Concerning aphids, ladybugs and mantids are not much help.  Sarracenia eat ladybugs.

Good Growing!
