Hello!

The Sarracenia Purpurea that I tried so hard to take care of has died. A few weeks after its death I've decided to check what might've caused its death. I thought it might've been because the roots have died but they were longer and stronger than the last time I repotted it. The tips are white.

I then checked the rhizome and I noticed these black dots that I didn't notice when it was still alive.
Can anyone tell me what disease this could be? My Purpurea had a long term issue of not forming its pitchers properly and I think this might've been the cause for its eventual death.

I’ve never had to deal with them, but it might have been a case of thrips. Thrip damage usually results in pale areas with blotches or spots and distorted foliage. Poor plant.
