Treating Aphids on Sarracenia: Targeted Insecticide Application

Question

Should I spray only the crown of my Sarracenia with a water-based insecticide, since aphid damage is confined to that area?

Answer

Yes, spray the crown and any affected leaf tips. There's no need to saturate the soil. Jeff Dallas of Sarracenia Northwest recommends simply cutting off damaged shoots, as they won't develop normally.

Good Growing!
