Help. Sarracenia wilting

Same here! I know of a few from Nanaimo and a couple others from the surrounding area but I don't believe any of them are active on the forums.

The psittacina/leuc hybrid is that Scarlett Belle? Ive had that one for close to 10 years but has never flowered for me and has always produced very small pitchers. It filled its pot this year so I divided it up and put it in a new bigger bog I made this year, hopefully it will enjoy it in there if not Ill be pulling it out and replacing.

I haven't really had any just completely die off but more of a slow painful existence lol. I got a random leuc 2 summers ago and the first summer it did well, survived the winter but was smaller than the last summer and this year I thought it was dead but its made 2 small pitchers so far. I didn't do anything special except move it under a covered deck away from the elements and covered it during our cold spells with a blanket. Same thing happened with my VFTs but I suspect they might have been too wet during the winter. I don't like to fuss too much with the outdoor plants, if they make it great if not I move on and try something different.

I believe it is. i got it unmarked though.
Mine seems to be doing well this year. hasn't flowered yet but i got it when it was very young.


Unfortunately I think my minor and one of the alata are toast :c
I am thinking of making a large bog planter, money really isn't on the table for it tho. I got a table for my stuff and before i moved em into the garage, but this year I did build a encasement i can slip over top to cover it and it has doors to access inside.

I would like to meet and maybe sell or trade with other local growers, or very least just stay connected.
Especially good to know growing tips for the specific area and climate.
 
Don't give up on them quite yet, if the rhizome isn't completely mush there's still a chance but continued wilting definitely isn't very encouraging.

I agree and would be more than happy to sell or trade any extras! The only extra Sarrs I have right now are flava cuprea and Scarlett Belle but I'll be dividing my small bog next spring and will have some other extras then. That bog has flava cuprea, flava ornata, leuc x purp hybrid, normal purp and the leuc 'Tarnok' I mentioned before. If you want to come by some time to see how I grow my Sarrs and just chat plants feel free to send me a pm and we can figure out a time.
 
The only Sarrs I've saved from the mush are where there there was a substantial piece of healthy rhizome with healthy roots and a growing point. I would powder the exposed healthy part with powdered sulphur after scraping off the gunk.
