Danny (Zone 7) has 10-year bog with mature Sarracenia (flava, leucophylla, minor, hybrids). Fern rhizomes choked spring growth; dogwood shade reduced sun. Affected plants have spindly leaves, few pitchers. Asked about safe fertilizer for recovery.
Jeff Dallas: Osmocote pellets (slow-release) around rhizomes—~4 pellets per rhizome. Don't exceed. Must stay on top of weeding (fertilizer helps weeds too). Ensure full sun (dogwood shade detrimental) or fertilizer harms more than helps.
Good Growing!
