Sarracenia purpurea & 'Tarnok' Indoor Mold: Fungicide Sources

A grower has S. purpurea with dead traps/no new growth, and 'Tarnok' with white fuzzy mold indoors. Asks care needs and fungicide sources.

Root Cause

Indoor stagnant air + low UV = mold heaven. Sarracenia need OUTDOORS.

Immediate Treatment

• Sulfur powder, Neem oil, or non-soap/non-copper water-based fungicide
• Available at nurseries, hardware store garden sections
• "3-in-1" neem/pyrethrin products fine

Long-Term Fix

Grow outdoors in zones 5-9 with winter mulch/tarp. Indoor growing requires intense light (6,000-12,000 lumens), pure water, annual repotting, and acceptance of mold battles.
