I'm afraid my whole collection has taken a turn for the south towards the end of the growing season this year. Traps began to die prematurely, and several blackened before they ever developed. Initially I thought this was due to crown rot, and treated with both azoxystrobin and ortho garden disease control in alternating doses. The azoxystrobin seemed to spur some healthy growth, but would eventually return to the same problem. I eventually repotted, removed any dead or decaying growth, treated with ortho again and repotted in peat/perlite/sand mix with a top dressing of sand to help avoid sogginess around the rhizome. However, they don't seem to have recovered, and several immature traps are beginning to blacken again, with some brown spots appearing on several plants. If anyone knows what could be causing this, please help! I've had these plants for 5+ years on average and would hate to lose them.
