Sarr issue (this is a first)

[adnedarn]

I have a S. 'Fat Chance that has been doing great! Thwn I noticed it's pitchers were starting to dry out. While this plant does sit in the highest part of the tray (first to dry) I'm pretty sure it's been kept wet (except those 3 days I sold at the reptile show :x ). Anyway, I've been making sure to keep it watered this past week and it's only progressed to look worse. Today, a pitcher was even on the ground, that's odd. Looking close I see a pile in the heart of the plant. Doesn't really look like peat or perlite though.




I decide to uproot it and found the pitchers were damaged at the rhizome, many popped off with little effort. I set the whole plant in a tub of water to rinse it and after looking again, I believe I found the issue.




I cleaned the plant a little more and left it over night and will repot it tomorrow. Is this a normal Sarr issue maybe for those of you growing outside? I don't think I need to implement any changes having this one issue in so many years, but would there even be anything to be done?

Thank you for sharing!!. I have this one in the same stage for months!. I treated with BioAdvance, but, nothing happened.

Do you know what media that is? Looks like something I'd immediately transplant out of. I bought a S. purp hetero back from someone locally (along with some VFTs) that were not doing good for him. I transplanted them (and removed the fertilizer pellets he had in the pitchers) and it (and the flytraps) have all jumped to life.
