Question
Hello, I've been seeing little white worms in my Chephalotus' soil.  I water the soil when it starts to get dry, and it has OK drainage.  Everything seems good, it's growing a new leaf and pitcher, but what could it be with the soil?  I hope it's not a problem.

I'll also be taking a visit to your nursery on Saturday July 10th, and I'm wondering if you guys have Nepenthes Rajah, Villosa, and Hamata, for sale?   I'm really looking forward to getting each one of those.

Good Growing!

Answer
Hi Agustin,

Those are probably fungus gnat larvae.  They are very common critters in houseplant soil.  A small number of them is of little concern.  If you are seeing lots of the adults flying around, you can spray the soil, or transplant into fresh media to get rid of them.  Sundews and Butterworts eat lots of them (adult insects).

I need to stick to the rules and not answer business questions on Allexperts.  You can direct inquiries about plant availability through the business contact page on the website.

Good Growing!
