So one of my giant mini bogs is infested with very small black ants. I think I already lost my judith hindle and my 2 Sarracenia alata Sam Rayburn Resevoir, TX clones
I noticed they would be growing fine and then the growth would just flop over similar to if the plants were drying out. Eventually I dug up the rhizome and saw ants swarming underneath and inside the rhizome... with freaggin ant eggs to boot! I've tried washing the rhizomes, replacing most of the dirt, and even have some Torro traps on the surface.
For anyone that has gone through this... is there anything I can do? It is really frustrating watching part of your collection waste away. Never knew ants could do this!
