A bit earlier than I expected and I didn't catch it in time (aphid, greenfly type). The droseras were showing damage in the new growth so all of the kitchen window carnivores got a trim, a bath (distilled water and a bit of castille soap), and a new potting arrangement. I haven't had to do a soak like this in about three years and they will look worse before they look better. Survivors will get treats!

I usually don't feed them as sunlight and whatever wanders in from the river take care of it, but I have some fish food that I use to make a small pasteball out of and set it on a leaf for plants that need it. The timing is a bit awkward this year for this much handling (the pinguicula are in dry dormancy) so they might need a bit extra when they wake up.
