Two S. flava plants develop rust-colored spots on the outer lid surface in late summer. Grown indoors with eastern exposure, the grower is concerned. Jeff Dallas reassures: this is a common late-season occurrence. A harmless fungus feeds on nectar secretions on the lid. By September, most pitchers naturally die back as the plant enters dormancy. No treatment needed.
Good Growing!
