scott, did you ever get to repoting that d.binata?
Did the minor buy it in the end?
Have a look at the Savage Garden - it should give you some ideas of what to buy.
Have a look at hybrids as well. If you like S. minor, you'll love S.x excellens.
No, it still looks the same. I have the soil very wet, basically waterlogged.
I think you just need to be patient. How's the flower doing?
Hi Ahmad,
Another Florida grower here. S. minor can be tricky. They seem to like dry-ish conditions compared to other Sarrs. Where in Florida are you? We have found growing our Sarrs in water trays to be an excellent way to promote rhizome rot, and any standing stagnant water is not good. You must have drainage! Unplug those holes and let the water flow!
Well, as I pointed out, we don't use water trays and grow the plants a bit on the dry side for Sarracenia. The pitchers that turned brown...notice they are still green at the base. The rhizome is probably fine. If you repotted the plant shortly after it produced those pitchers, it could explain the pitcher loss. Let it establish and see what happens.
By the way, what are you using for potting soil?
An infected one will feel like an uncooked hotdog.
