I have a secretโ€ฆ2 weeks ago, I noticed that my Leah Wilkerson sarracenia had rhizome rot ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I was too sad to share about it back then. BUT to try and save the plant, I cut out the rot and divided it into 4 separate plants. One of them was just a piece of rhizome that had no growth points, but Iโ€™m happy to report that yesterday it grew one! If you zoom in really close you can see a little red nub!
