Tiny White Bugs in Sundew Pot: Springtails or Fungus Gnats?

A Drosera (multifork leaf) stopped producing forks. During repotting, tiny white "fleas" were seen crawling in the soil. What are they and how to eliminate them?

Identification

Jeff Dallas says they're likely springtails or fungus gnat larvae—common in houseplant soil. They're not a major threat to carnivorous plants.

Control Options

• Most insecticides will kill them.
• Organic options: neem oil or pyrethrins.
• Drosera and Pinguicula often catch the adults naturally.

Good Growing!
