Re: NEW TOPIC
 

Just top up with sphagnum moss. Or you can split the plants and cut the dead leaves too.

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

removing dead leafs is good and its easy to detect pest like mealy bug or scales if its there on the sarr or it'll hide between the dead stuff :)

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

when they have multiple rhizomes.if its big enough,u pull it with a little force it'll seperate apart.very easy.but make sure its very big(rhizome)

your sarracenia is divideble now.but jsut dont divide it yet.just let it grow.

the white stuff is spider web i think.mine has it too when i have that much dead rhizomes sticking there.i suggest u to cut away the brown rhizomes away!

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

i dont think its spider web....meby it is fungus...
and how do i cut off the brown rhizome ?????? i dont know how.....
after it grows where should i cut it???

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

well...the dead stuff looks like it already become dead for more than a month and very hard to cut it away.so,just leave it there.until the time u repotting it,pull it out :)

go buy some of those pesticides i recon u to buy from Mr. LIm.that pesticide works great for me.and u should always have some on hand incase those stupid pest(mealy bugs,scales etc bla bla bla) come :)


Thanks

good spring cleaning for it!with the fresh sphagnum moss in and the sarr was cleaned tip top,im sure it'll grow happy for you :)just give it tons of sun and dont forget water tray and push the sphagnum moss lower abit.try not to bury the rhizome too much :)

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

Nicely done. Though I'd prefer soaking the sphagnum longer so that it absorbs as much water as possible, but then again, the water tray will do it for you :smile:

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

So after dormancy I can split them ????into how many???? And what are the signs of dormancy???:confused:

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

they look healthy and i am sure they like your new medium.. good job

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

Thx ......and I wanna ask..what are the signs of dormancy for a sarra........ And (a little off topic) do droseras need dormancy???

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

if dormant period, sarra will start grow slow, or you will notice the pitches getting smaller and end up not pitches at all.

Dormant period will make the leaf dry out and you need to trim them.

Try find Google more on this

Re: NEW TOPIC
 

some droseras need dormancy.but droseras dont need fridge.when its dormant,just leave it there till it grows again.

for sarracenia,most of them will grow phyllodia as signs of dormancy.
this is how phyllodia look like
