What's wrong with this sar

S

stephend007

Hi all,

My sars are getting little blotches on the lids. In past years I thought this was normal and due to heat. However, it’s been cool this year and I am wondering if it is a fungus or a virus. I don’t think it’s a virus, but it could be a fungus or something else I suppose. I’m just not sure what it could be. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve published photos on my website and even have a form that you can fill out and send me responses. Of course a response here is best, but I’ll publish responses I get via the form here.

hey! welcome to the forums!

Looks like thrip or scale waste to me... I get that sometimes. I just use sevin-5 dust, sprinkle it all over the pitchers. Works like a charm

hmm... Then again, it doesn't look like waste at all... Maybe some beetles been nibbling on them? My squash look somewhat like that when a beetle or two decide to have a snack...

How much light does he have? Heat may not be the only factor... Down here in Monterey, maybe an hour from you, it's been pretty hot and sunny

The hottest it's been in the last few weeks is 80 degrees. It gets morning sun through early noon, around 12:30-1PM is gets shade.

Thanks for the compliments on the bog garden. Stop by when you come up to see Phil. I'm about 10 minutes away.

Moving to the Sarracenia forum where more Sarracenia nuts hang out and might be able to help.

I am far from a Sarracenia problem expert so take this lightly...Does not look like insect damage to me. I am more inclined to go with some sort of fungal pathogen or perhaps burning via the sun focused on water droplets..

I see that on older pitchers all the time. I think it is just the die back pattern starting, either that or all the sarr I've seen have the same health problem, which could be possible since all the ones I've seen are in Western MI.

Hey another SJ guy! And with a watergarden too!
Great looking pond and CP bog...great looking rocks. I also don't like my rock necklace, but I was too lazy. I really like the look of your pond without the necklace and the CP's next to it. Beautiful.

I have had thoughts of making a cp bog. I would like to incorporate it with the pond, but I dunno. I guess one big thing I'm afraid of is the water for the cp's. If I'm going to build a cp bog, I would probably have to go for an RO unit. I'm not yet ready to commit to that. Life used to be much simpler when I had one pitcher plant and not knowing any better I just watered it with tap water. It did fine, but now I only water with DI, and it's a bit of a headache. Not to mention a few extra bucks.

I only had my hole in the ground for a couple of years, and I thought that was bad... 7-8yrs. Wow. You have more patience than me.
