I have found that my sarracenia has put up a flower stalk one from each growth point.

I was just wondering if there is anything i should be aware of that might cause the stalk to die?

Also lately Ive seen lots of ants on the flower stalk. So fare i haven't done anything. Should i be concerned about the ants?

Here are some pics. Sorry they are a bit blurry

Hi
all looks good there , all looks normal , no need to do any think they will do what comes natural to them , the ants may be looking for scale if its growing on your sarras which again is quite common , or the new flower shoots may have put out some early nectar ? or some think they sensed !! from a new growth not a lot to be concerned about there either
if you still need or worried about your new growth let me know ok :mrgreen:

Just don't repot them while they're flowering.

Repotting a flowering Sarr will completely interrupt the process and you won't get a proper flower, or a flower at all.

Good luck!
