Dunc 70 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Looks like a bit of heat damage to me? After the last few weeks of a UK summer some of my CPs not looking their best either (plus less than ideal watering as I was away for 4 weeks). As normal programmes resume the plants normally pick up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pirks 15 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Is your sphagnum moss the dried stuff or living sphagnum moss? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s living sphagnum moss, but it’s not all green because the hot and the low humidity in madrid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought(some years ago) sarracenias with water and full sun would be great, but this year they are suffering too much. i don’t know if it’s a pest or this year heat...

Deltatango301 188 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think you need to change the medium you have your plants in to 50/50 dead sphagnum and perlite try that don't look like pests Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cantseethis 0 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hello It looks to be sun burn too much direct sunlight to me. Have you try'd a diffusing sheet? would cut the amount of light they are able to get and allow you to put a fan at one end on the realy bad days and even putting the tray raised up a little to allow air flow below stopping the stone floor heating it from below. I wouldn't worry about it my young divisions are doing the same in the north west UK they keep growing back as long as you see a new pitcher the plant is happy pic was taken 5 mins befor posting of my young divisions well neglected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
