I planted seeds of this pitcher plant in live sphagnum last spring. The
seed was from Chilterns. Most germinated but the seedlings were short
lived. I am determined to grow this thing and I'm ready to try again
with a fresh batch of seed. Does anyone have any recommendations based
on experience? Since I have seen this plant in habitat, growing in what
seemed to be fairly rich soil, perhaps it needs more nourishment than
other pitcher plants.

I would appreciate some advice.
