Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' Leaves Chewed: Slugs, Not Insects

Grower sees mature S. 'Judith Hindle' leaves chewed. Weekly insecticide spray doesn't stop it.

Slugs Are the Culprit

Slugs leave chew marks; insects rarely do. Search pots (under leaves by day). Remove slugs. If none found, use slug bait around pots (not in water/soil—metals harm CPs). Follow label.

Damaged leaves are permanent. Trim when new growth replaces them.

Good growing!
