White Spots on Sarracenia: Scale Insects Require Systemic Insecticide and Outdoor Move

Diagnosis: Scale Insects

Tiny white spots on plant and soil = scale. Common on indoor plants; rare outdoors in spring.

Treatment

1. Spray with systemic insecticide (Ortho Systemic Insect Killer)—safe for CPs, kills scale in a week, residual 3–4 weeks.
2. Move plants outdoors immediately. Indoor culture is the root cause. Full sun, tray method, pure water.

Outdoor growing prevents recurrence naturally.
