G W Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) I've had this Nepenthes Alata a few years now, I think this is it's third or forth winter. I bought repotting materials in Summer last year, but I am inexperienced at CP repotting and I read somewhere that I should do it end of winter/beginning of spring. It is in our conservatory which sees winter lows of 7 degrees c, this winter has been no different in there from previous. I normally consider myself decent at watering but have had trouble with my water butt and have been out of routine for a few months as we've not used the conservatory as much this winter (I've possibly under watered then overwatering to compensate although I can't be sure). This also means I've not kept a thorough eye on this plant as everything else in the conservatory has looked as expected on a quick glance. Today I am gutted as I notice it looks like this and seems to have some aphids. Why is it so sick (I can only guess root rot) and is there anything I can do to save it? Thanks.

manders Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looks like cold damage, possibly made worse by being wet but mostly cold damage. I’d give it about a 5% chance of recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicat Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 make sure it never stands in water. It needs good drainage. Also id do sth about the aphids. I see it has multiple growth points. Are they all affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
