Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea
 

so once awhile,u will uproot all your sarrs to view if theres mealy bugs?

hey,will Malathion work for sarracenias?i mean is it safe?

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea
 

when plants attacked by mealy bug, it would seem unusual leaf growth.
then I uproot and check plants.
i dont find that insecticide brand here. here i use cheap sistemic insecticide.:shy:
wash the roots thoroughly, then spray pesticides. replant again with new fresh media.
repeat spraying pesticides from surface media after few days/week. depend on the plant health

i also got some sarrs seed but still in stratification.2months :(

hope mine germinated soon and grow fast !

Robert,whats the substrate?are they drain holes below the container?

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea
 

Drain holes are made on the sides approx one inch above the base so that substracts are always mildly wet.

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea
 

how old are they?
