Never Knows Best
Thank you growingold. I fould some plain old Neen Extract and will start with that.
I did have some aphids at the beginning of spring, which I'm used to. I saw the twisted pitchers rising up and looked closer and saw them on the pitchers. I have a garden safe 3-in-1 solution that always works for them. I mix it in a spray bottle. I usually see those at the beginning of every spring.
But the ones that keep dying are starting to just FAIL first... I don't know how to describe it. They will look sickly and weak. In some plants I am seeing these little black sugar ant type things nesting in the soil, but not all of the ones that are dying have those. The dead ones have no rhizome - it turns into an orange mush. I thought it was root rot because that happens to a few every year coming out of dormancy.
I wonder if there is anywhere I could take a sample to and have it tested?
Picture is worth a thousand words...
(no rhizome? orange mush? sounds like a fungus infection IMHO)
