Plantfreak 2 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Can pinguicula catch aphids? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 199 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Not in my experience. Aphids are crafty little sods and hide in the non-carnivorous parts of Pings such as the grow point and underneath new leaves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Argo88 91 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) My bigger pinguiculas gigantea catch them... Gaz says the true, but pinguicula gigantea have the peculiarity of both sides of the leaves (upper and down) with glue... young giganteas, anywhere, don’t catch them;-) In these pictures you can see a recently divided plantlet that is big enough to catch a winged aphid with the down page of the leaf;-) Edited August 23, 2020 by Argo88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
