2nd drosera with bug problems

16 years ago

I have a second drosera capensis that is turning brown at the tips and basically 'dying'. The first one looked like it had an aphid or mite problem.

This second one was fine until I started to find the tips start to brown and stems withering like the first one. I found a 'cotton' like cocoon on the limb and looked it up and figured this one has a mealy bug problem.

I diluted some spectracide and sprayed it on. It is getting worse.

It is in a terrarium next to two healthy flytraps. How can this happenen again? Any ideas how I can stop pests from getting at my octopus plants?
