I noticed my sarracenias started to get little dots on the top of the pitchers. Does anyone know what they are?

From what I remember is I think it has something to do with the nectar or If not it might be that that pitcher is old and is dying

Nothing to be worried about, as long as the mold doesn't get too bad. It's just sooty mold feeding on the nectar that the sarrs produce to attract insects. However, if the mold gets worse, you might want to check for pests like scale.

I love sundews.
