propagation of sarracenia purpurea

[kepikimut]

this time...leucophylla

motherplant


split

Do not forget, give fungicide on the scar

after you stick on spaghnum..you'll see this root growth


look at the fine hairs on the roots


Mealy bugs ? my plants are also affected

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.
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

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