White Fungus on Sarracenia Rhizomes in Garage Dormancy

White fungus on Sarracenia

White fuzz on rhizomes

Sarracenia from January purchase, overwintered in garage with sulfur spray, distilled water, SNW soil. White fuzz appeared. Only this plant affected?

Action Plan

  1. Spray sulfur generously until no visible fungus. May need every few days.
  2. Check all plants—if others affected, garage spore load is high; consider moving.
  3. Unpot, inspect rhizomes: Firm? White under surface scrape = healthy. Trim all stems to rhizome.
  4. Rinse rhizomes thoroughly to remove spores.
  5. Spray rhizomes heavily with sulfur (we pre-soak in sulfur bath).
  6. Repot in fresh soil (or spray used soil with sulfur).
  7. Top-water only until late spring; no water trays. Full sun.

Report back with results. This protocol saves most affected plants.
