I had moved the two carnivorous Butterworts I obtained to control fungus gnats outside because the weather has been warmer. They also had not been catching so much dinner since I had moved my other plants outside and I felt that they needed a good feed. They had both been looking really lovely and yellow, like, well, butter.
I got a terrible shock this morning when I looked at them and saw this:
I thought I’d managed to somehow expose them to a terrible disease and was googling it in a bit of a panic.
Until the penny dropped.
My neighbour spray painted the fence grey yesterday.
The paint has gone everywhere. Splashes all over my house and on my edibles too.
The worst affected are the Butterworts though – I don’t know if they will survive because I know their leaves are sensitive and needed to digest their food. I don’t know what to do. Any ideas?
