My was wonder if anyone can help me out. I gathered my collection last spring... so this is my first complete growing season. Most of my sars are starting to get burned. All made it through dormancy and I repotted them in the 2 set ups that I have in the photos. All sprung to life and have been growing outside in full sun since coming out. Over the past couple weeks, the rims of many of my sarrs have started to burn. They seem to be growing fine besides this.
--I am in southwest ohio
--They are on the south side of my house and get full sun.. sun up to sun down.. not filtering at all.
--I use rain or distilled water... which I always keep at lease an inch or two deep in the water tray.
--The media under the half inch of LFspag is spag and sand.
--All my VFTs are in good shape and growing well.
--I did have a small case of aphids that distorted some of the growing pitchers... i sprayed and watered with Ortho systemic which fixed the problem. I followed the directions and only did one application. That was a week or so before the burning has started.
So I was wondering if I should move them to get less sun or if it is a different problem all together. Also... since these collections are in the sun all day... would the media be getting too hot? I could paint the exterior white to help with this. Is spring growth softer then the later growth?
You can see some of the browning edges in the photos.
Any reasons here.
