Subject: Sarracenia Questions


     
        I tried growing Sarracenia indoors under grow lights with only
     mixed success. S. purpurea grew well under a quad fixture. However,
     The tall Sarrs; flava, lueco.; minor all tended to grow spindly and
     fall over before the pitchers matured. Putting the plants outside
     solved this problem. If you can't put them outside a south facing
     windowsill will do.
     
        By the way I dispensed with my enclosed terrarium years ago. The
     humidity in the east (US) is high enough to make an enclosure
     unnecessary for Sarrs.
