Default Re: Growing conditions after removing Sarracenias from the fridge and mold.

Hi Richard,

I think the growing conditions you're provided are too wet and too shady for growing Sarracenia. As what you said, mold grown on those weak and dried plants. This is because those plants are unable to absorb the water, while encourage the growth of mold. I'd grown Sarracenia from division and i put it under conditions which are similar as yours. And the same things happened on my plants. I scrapped away those mold, sprayed with fungicide and then transfered them into direct sunlight. With controlled the water of the medium, which i keep it moist at the beggining and maintain the humidity up to 60%, and finally its work. SO, if you can provide enough sunlight, control the wetness of the medium and maintain the humidity, and applying very light fungicide twice a week, then mold shouldn't happened on your plants. Don't forget, Sarracenias grow in full sunlight...
What others comment from those experts??? I hope you all can share the experiences and please correct me if i'm wrong
