Help on dying sarracenia

[javierhujr]

I had a sarracenia purpurea for two weeks before signs of withering appears. Please help identify the problem.

I have kept a observation records since i first purchase:

I had a sarracenia purpurea for two weeks before signs of withering appears. My first thought was the over exposure to sunlight during the 2nd week where I spotted 3 dried out pitches and tried to move it to a area with less direct sunlight.

Please help identify the problem.

Environment: Tropical, 26 to 31 degree Celcius



Questions:
Is my purpurea going into dormancy? or lack of water?
Should I add water into the pitches?

Can you show us a photo of your plant?

[kepikimut]

i guess something wrong with the root or media.

Here are the images. Hope it helps..

[piscesilim]

I agree with kepikimut. Something wrong with the root or media. Or you give no enough water to your plant. Did you put it on water tray?

[kepikimut]

my suspect is botrytis.
sorry, cant give another suggest. havent find any cure.

[javierhujr]

Well, I didn't put it on water tray because I fear that it will breed mosquitoes as it is placed outdoor. However, I tried to give it a half mug of distill water 2 times a week.

Thanks kepikimut & piscesilim for sharing views.

I think for the meantime perhaps I will give the media and roots a check, and also increased the watering level. Will see how is the progress in the next couple of weeks.

no wonder your purpurea look dehidrated.purpurea need alot water.and dont forget to keep fill up that pitcher.
you can use plastick bowl from food container that will fit with your pot.

i grow a lot of these. Keep them wet and not to much light. add water in the pitchers. and keep them cool if possible.

good growing,
