Hi all,
My name is Gary Hart, I have been on the CP mailing list for a number of
months now. I though I had better introduce myself and ask a question
that I have not seen brought up yet.
I live in Brisbane Australia, quite a nice place with a summer wet
sub-tropical climate. I have been "into" CP for about 15 years, on and
off, but have always had some for that long. My favorites are
Sarracenia and Drosera.
Which leads me to my question, I am having (and have had in the past) a
problem with Sarracenias dying very suddenly. One day they "look" fine,
but obviously are not, and the next the pitchers look like the plants
have wilted (plenty of water though). It appears to be a fungal
problem, the rhizome when cut (to remove the dead parts) is brown from
the formerly living parts back. The plants are all grown in pure
sphagnum moss and when growing well appear to grow very well. Its just
that I lose a few each year to this problem.
Sorry for the long winded introduction and question but any ideas,
suggestions, treatments would be appreciated.
Thank you all.
