So, I bought a cobra lily from Man eating plants. But it seems to be in some kind of decline, right now. When I first got it in, it looked great. No questions asked. Its soil mix is sphagnum peat moss(Phil from the MEP site, stated the biggest traps grow in 100% peat). It's potted & all. Nutrient free soil, water, plenty of sunlight & its being kept dry-damp - moist. I flush it with ice cubes, each day. To make sure the roots stay cool. I know its dormancy starts, around October.
I've lost an Alata, excella & purple pitcher plant before this, to whatever is causing this problem. I believe it is mealy bugs or scale. I see white specs, all over the base of the cobra lily. I might try the garden safe spray, but I've tried before with no luck. Well, hopefully someone can help me with this issue. Have a great day, everyone!
