    Sarracenia "Bug Bat"

    I recently acquired a new Sarracenia hybrid in Hamilton, Ontario this week! And it is a S. "Bug Bat" ((psittacina x alata) x minor okee).

    What product to use to treat powdery mildew on sarracenia?

    Stunted growth on Sarracenia?

    Hi there! First pic is from several months ago, second from last month, third from today. This one has been struggling since before and as long as I’ve had it.
