2 years old and im to lazy repoting this guy.
use insecticide wisely.
usually mealy bug attack big plant with big pot. dont know why.
how to check it?? just pull your sarracenia from the pot..if mealy bug exist..you'll see them on that root.

yes. you're rite. purpurea and psitacina is slow grower and hard to split. but if you want to split. make sure the plant have many growth point and snap the outer growth point to make sure you do not make a lot of wounds on the plant.
and dont forget. make sure the outer growth point have some root attach on it.

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea
 

after you split sarracenia rizhome. plant them on spaghnum moss.:1thumbup:

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea

Re: propagation of sarracenia purpurea

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

very nice!:1thumbup::1thumbup:
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?
