Oh my. I believe I need a Venus flytrap…

Venus flytraps are cool, but I've never successfully kept one alive for long. I forget what this plant is called but it has no actual traps and it seems far less picky than a Venus flytrap.

And a whole lot more effective.

Genuine question But is it a catch-22? Do you have more fungus gnats because the plant somehow calls to it?

seanrfrazier.com•7 days ago

We have 259+ plants in the house so I'm probably unable to verify that one way or another. Basically, we're going to have lots of fungus gnats either way.

😳😳 259?!?!

I’m pretty house plant ignorant so that’s why I ask (and I don’t like bugs)

I guess coming home always feels like a breath of fresh oxygenated air!

It might be around 255 now. I can't keep track.

I mean, sometimes coming home feels like a breath of cat pee because nobody's cleaned the litter box, but the greenery does make for a nice view.

I’m a fan of carnivorous plants. But, I don’t have a sundew yet. I HAVE seen them growing wild in the Smoky Mountains.

This little guy is eating very well and I want to get a dozen more lol.

I’m roadtripping to Lake City, SC in 4 weeks and will be hitting up @sweetleafnursery.com at the PeeDee Farmers Market for a nepenthes to add to my collection. They’re very alien looking pitchers and I have a hook in the kitchen that is waiting for it

Ooh, pitcher plant! Make it grow big enough so it can eat mice!

If Audrey II would eat fungus gnats, I'm in.

I hate fungus gnats. I hope your plant kills them all.
