Hi I got a Flava from California Carnivores in mid august. All the pitchers almost immediately died off. At first, I thought it was just the shock of moving, but it never recovered. But when I cut the brown leaves off for dormancy, I saw this whitish powder on the rhizome. When I carefully pull the pitcher leaves away from the rhizome, you can see the mealy bugs buried deep in. Any suggestions? Any preferred pesticides? Is my plant a goner ? I have separated it from my purpurea to prevent them from spreading.
