small bugs on plants


Question
i noticed recently that my multifork leaf sundew stopped growing its forks(leaves were dying off after the stems) i was transplanting it to a bigger pot today(had babies like crazy) and saw these tiny bugs crawling around the plants, they looked like little white fleas, what can i do to get rid of them?

Answer
Hi Nate,

The little bugs sound like either Springtails or Fungus Gnat larvae.  They are not a big concern for your plants, but most insecticides will kill them.  An organic such as Neem or Pyrethrins works fine.

Good Growing!
