Sarracenia Bare-Root Plant: Dead or Just Late? Rhizome Check Required

Weylin has Sarracenia (likely alata or 'Canebreaker', from us last year) under CFLs (deck renovation). Winter sprayed occasionally. Photo shows brown top, white roots.

Check Rhizome Interior

White roots = alive, but if rhizome is dead, roots will follow. Unpot: white/supple roots = alive, needs time. Brown roots = dead. Scrape rhizome: brown inside = dead. Growing point brown/soft = dead. Could be fungal.

Follow-up: Weylin confirms white root tips, plant in cold storage, moving in/out due to deck work. Top brown, roots white. Jacob: if rhizome dead, no recovery even with live roots. Check rhizome interior and crown.

Good growing!
