I’ve got several small houseplants in my home office, and I really like having them around. I’m still pretty new to taking care of them altogether, though, and we’ve gotten dozens of tiny house gnats now. I’ve put up sticky traps and tried to use some pest control in the potted soil. But would a small venus fly trap be able to help here?

    Oh yeah, very good points. Although I’m lazy with my purple pitcher plant. It gets tap water from the hose because I never have enough quality RO water to keep them from drying out and they seem to be doing fine in my climate.

    But totally I’m pretty sure my sundews died from not using adequate RO or distilled water.

      I had a huge fly trap I been growing for years. Watered it with tap water once or twice since I was out and lazy. It never recovered.
