Folks, Felidae, help me on that one:
Purchased this little carnivore beauty in the hope it will help controlling the gnats.
As this is my first carnivore plant, I have no idea if little flies are on its diet.
Will it work?

I don’t remember when and how I helped, but from this angle, it really looks like one of my brainthrows.. I use carnivores indoors to eliminate unwanted insects. :) The only trick is the position.
Roridula needs constant high humidity, so watch out with this, cause they can decline in no time.
(Try as well with Nephentes, cause they can collect heavy quantities of small buggers on their belly)

My little beauty is EATING all fungus gnats around!
I'm gonna buy a few more carnivorous plants and be happy with my organics.

Happy to hear.. ^^ I love those beasts! My next plan is to get some Sarracenia for a terrarium project.
You’ll use them in or outdoors?
