Hi, I'm asking for some help!
I have an emergency here, I don't know how but my terrarium has an infestation of rhizome worms. I don't know what they are but they make a hole on my plants rhizomes and start eating them from inside. I tried to use imidacloprid (confidor and provado) but it doesn't work.
I watered the plants with confidor solution but today, after 3 days, I rip a dead H. Tatei rhizome and find one of them happy and healty inside.
I dont' want to lose my H. tatei, 2 of 5 growing points are already gone. My nepenthes lavicola probably has one inside. What can I do? Immersion is useless because water can't penetrate inside their small holes and they have plenty of oxigene here.
Anyone know some good chemicals to kill those bugs?
Here are some pictures
Thanks,
Vale
