S. flava trouble

[shokuchuu]

z5guy,
I like to check Sarracenia rhizomes by gradually cutting away the dead material (which is usually orangish brown and sludgy) from the tip (opposite of where the leaves are being produced), until I see live, white tissue inside. If the whole rhizome is brown, I'm afraid you have a goner.
On another note, it doesn't really matter how many watts you give Sarracenia, it still won't be happy unless it's in full sun (unless you own a 5,000W MH+HPS phototron! OK, that's exaggerating, but you get the idea).
Don't give up!

Amori

[z5guy]

[z5guy]

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but your flava still looks like it is in the great pitcher plant savannah in the sky to me

 

[z5guy]

probaly, i seem to kill the coolest plants, damm me! maybe i can find another and try again.

Hope you do find another. But, no more basements during growing season. Only for the winter if your winters are severe. Otherwise, outside is the best.

 

[Treaqum]

MMM. Outside has mosquitos. Mosquitos are vampirous. flava eats bugs. Mosquitos are bugs. flava is vampirous

wait, but i have a s.purpea (excuse me if i spelled it wrong) its small but it looks like its in good shape, although it doesnt have any new growth, which concerns me. should i put my s. purpea outside or try to hardin it off by puting it in the screen room? right now outside is wet and a bit chilly.
