Soap based pest treatment is not recommended for sundew because it dries them out. Either hand removal or a very deluded chemical treatment is the way to go. I do see one little aphid but if that's the only one you might just want to pick it off by hand and watch. However, there is rarely only one!

There’s a few smaller ones scattered around too… will they harm it or my other plants?
0 J'aimeYes they will harm the plant and yes they will move to other plants given the opportunity. I would definitely treat the sundew and other plants that are nearby. Then just keep an eye out for other infestations.

Amazing thank you 🙏
0 J'aimeIf they are overwhelming it, you can spray them off. Any pesticide will generally kill them unfortunately
