My sarracenias have been out side for more than three months and we are starting to see weather in the 80s. However non of them have even started growing. I know 3 got rhizome rot because I didn’t provide enough air circulation during dormancy. If anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated.

[quote="boarderlib"]Where are you? My sarrs are just now starting to wake up, but I'm one of those insane northern growers.

Im in southern Michigan so about grow zone 5 b. This year however has been a bit unusually cold.

A lot of my southern locale sarrs still haven't started doing much yet. My leuco's haven't even opened their flowers yet. I'm in northeast Ohio. If you're too worried do the squeeze test on the rhiozome. If it's mushy strip it down and treat it with fungicide, if it's firm it's just a late start.

What were the growing conditions during the winter months?

Thanks for all the advice
I did remove all the rotten material and replace the medium but didn’t use a fungicide. I do have hydrogen peroxide. Should I spray some on the wounds? As for were they where during dormancy i made the mistake of putting them in a cabinet hoping it would protect them from the more severe cold but the lack of air circulation is probably what caused the rot.
