Mealy Lipstick
The past two weeks, i’ve been noticing this white waxy web on my lipstick plant. At first it was on one flower, then i started seeing more and more of it. Especially around the bell shape stem. Now it has spread and slowly killing my plant..
I think its mealybugs. It looks a lot like it…

Yucks! Going to go shopping for pesticides today. May it survive another day. 
Some advice from mutant hybrid of gardenweb on how to get rid of the pests thats been swimming in the sphagnum moss of the venus fly trap that we got.

Hi mukaketupat,Yeah they could be aphids if they are tiny green fat bodied insects that hang out in the center of the plant. If they are tiny white worm like creatures with legs, they are possibly thrips. Gnat larvae also like to live in peat moss. If you are worried about them, use only pesticides that are water based, never soap based. Something with pyrethrines or neem oil extract with pyrethrines would be great. Avoid anything that says potassium salts and acids or natural oils and fats (basically fertilizer). Also never use copper based fungicide on your carnivorous plants, it will harm them. Only use neem oil or sulphur based fungicide.
The red Venus Flytrap is the Red Dragon cultivar. It is exactly the same as a regular Venus Flytrap, just one that is bred to have all red, like a dog is bred to look short and long like a weenie dog. There are many types of cultivars of Venus Flytrap. One called Big Mouth, another called Dente that is all green, and another called Piranha that has short shark like teeth. Mine shows all of the variations at once on different leaves. One trap might show a double tooth, another gets red pigment all over the outside, and another gets short shark teeth. If I wanted to, I could make my own cultivars by continually breeding the qualities I see in my plant with qualities I see in another plant until I get one that is all red or all saw toothed double teeth.
Anyway, good luck with your plants.
Sigh..I’m printing his advice and taking it with me to the hardware store today. Its a lot to remember and better to be safe than sorry.
I love this thème. Few days ago I ownload it an put on my Blog www.blogmasterpg.altervista.org but now I’d add it some advertisment, like Ad-Sense. I see it is very difficult for me ( I don’t know codes) but sometime, if someone help me I can do it likes: www.berlusconi-blog.blogspot.com I’m looking for someone help me to help to put in my new theme Ad-sense. I’d like copy your.. Can I do it? BlogmasterPG

heya,
i see you have actually commented on the theme designer’s site. they do give pretty good and quick advice. if you scroll up, i had some questions about turning off the comment for the adsense plugin as well, and they responded.
basically, you have to delete these lines:
< ?php /* Adsense is disabled. Uncomment and fill in your details (ad_client_number) if you want to use it.
and
*/ ?>
but i’ve been trying to figure out how to make it show on the front page, which it doesn’t right now. it only appears in individual pages.
what i’ve done is also pasted the adsense code into the sidebar css. have you made your theme writeable? you have to check out the wordpress codex on how to do this. you can find out more about how to fiddle with themes here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/Theme_List
for me, i found the forum to be very handy. lots of answers.
hope this helps!
