Must have been the Captan, Earl. I use Diazanon on Sarrs with no ill effects.
I got a letter from Gordon in which he addresses some of the E-mail topics of
conversation.
He says he winters Sarrs outdoors. He only gets 2--3 weeks of frost.
His purp purps from Canada don't do so well. (I add that mine, which
get the deluxe northern Arizona catered hibernation service, attended to
by the lovely and talented Bridgett Meyers-Rice, do well).
He also thinks hibernation is not induced so much by temperature drops as
decrease in light exposure. He said, for example, he's induced hibernation
in D. rotundifolia by putting them in the shade, same ambient temperature.
He doesn't get concerned with liverworts. He sort of likes them.
Don, he says he's ``not 100% sure in regards to the P. kondoi either. My
large plant at this point appears almost identical to a neighboring P.
esseriana.''
Davin, he grows Darlingtonia out doors in Southern Cal and its hot there.
He doesn't use chilled H20 but he does water daily. They sit in water. The
humidity rarely goes over 50%, but can go over 90% at night.
Rob Allen, The Nepenthes labelled K.K. Sabah means Kota Kinabalu Saba.
Hope that means more to you than it does to me!
