Neil,

Is it getting enough sunlight?
I believe there are red and green varieties (anyone correct me?), but the red
ones gain the colour with the sun. I have a pot full of seedlings, which
are already turning a red colour - but they're in a sunny windowsill.
I understand the sameis true of Sarracenia.
